We received 95 responses to this call for evidence on non-road mobile machinery (NRMM) decarbonisation options, from a range of stakeholders.
Responses highlighted the diversity of NRMM and their range of use across the economy, as well as reporting the likely need for a range of decarbonisation options. Alongside other evidence gathering activities, the responses to the call for evidence will be used to inform the development of future policy relating to off-road machinery decarbonisation.
Note on terminology
Off-road machinery broadly refers to any mobile machine, transportable equipment or vehicle not intended for carrying passengers or goods on the road and is installed with an internal combustion engine.
In scope of the call for evidence were machines included in the following UK Carbon Budget categories:
- industrial off-road mobile machinery
- commercial off-road mobile machinery
- agricultural mobile machinery
While these machines have been referred to collectively to date as non-road mobile machinery (NRMM), including in the call for evidence and in this summary of responses, government intends to use the umbrella term off-road machinery in future. This is to avoid any potential confusion with the regulatory definition of NRMM (Regulation (EU) 2016/1628) which remains unchanged.
