Seeking opinions as to when the UK should stop selling new non-zero emission L-category vehicles.

L-category vehicles include the following and their sub-categories:

L1 light 2-wheel powered vehicles (including mopeds)
L2 3-wheel mopeds
L3 2-wheel motorcycles
L4 2-wheel motorcycles with sidecars
L5 powered tricycles
L6 light quadricycles
L7 heavy quadricycles

Non-zero emission vehicles produce harmful exhaust air emissions while driving. These include greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, and pollutants, such as nitrogen dioxide.

We are proposing dates of:

2035 for all L-category vehicles at the latest
2030 for L1, L2, L3e-A1, L6 and L7 sub-category vehicles

We will subsequently discuss:

which L-category vehicles could be derogated
the methods to enforce requirements
the role, if any, of alternative fuels in achieving this goal
