Independent Report Highlights the Huge Challenge Towards the Decarbonisation if Irelands Vehicle Fleet!

A key environmental policy to have almost a million electric vehicles (EVs) on the road by 2030 will be a huge challenge unless the Government incentivises and supports dealing with the oldest polluting cars, while exponentially increasing the charging infrastructure nationwide, according to a new report released today by Arup and economist Jim Power on reducing light fleet carbon emissions to achieve Government targets. The independent report which was commissioned for The Society of the Irish Motor Industry (SIMI) stated that in order to deal with this older legacy fleet, help will be required for those with the least economic capacity to make the biggest change. This requires more investment, not just at the top end of the market, to remain fair and equitable if Ireland is to provide all commuters with viable transport options.

MOTOR INDUSTRY APPALLED AT ILLOGICAL DECISION TO WITHDRAW KEY ENVIRONMENTAL INCENTIVE

Government announces removal of incentive from customers who have pre-ordered low emitting Plug-In Hybrid vehicles for 2022.

MOTOR INDUSTRY ANGRY AND DEEPLY CONCERNED WITH REGRESSIVE PROPOSALS TO INCREASE VEHICLE REGISTRATION TAX ON ELECTRIC VEHICLES

Regressive tax proposals will not reduce the huge number of older polluting cars on the road, which will greatly hamper both Ireland’s ability to reach its climate change targets and the Irish Motor Industry’s proactive efforts to decarbonise the nation’s entire car fleet.
