DfT Low Carbon Hgv Task Force Potential Workstreams
•
Assessing the availability and supply of biomethane for
transport
– Green Gas Certificates to enable transport carbon reporting
– National refuelling infrastructure
•
Using fiscal incentives to encourage greater uptake of
biomethane in hgvs
– Long term policy for road fuel gas taxation
– Extension of low carbon vehicle/infrastructure grants for hgvs from
OLEV
– Enhanced capital allowances for low carbon vehicles
•
Making changes to weights and dimensions to encourage
use of low-carbon vehicles
– Payload equality for hybrids, gas and electric vehicles
– Additional length of front swing radius to allow aerodynamic aids

Next Steps
• LCRS and rail
– Develop reliable carbon figure for rail in 2013
– Shortsea shipping longer term target
• Mode Shift Map
– Gather more data for UK; Launch with wider logistics industry
when ready
– Await EU response on grant funding for European map –
February 2013
• Mode Shift Annual Report
– Survey results, metrics, case studies
– Launch at Multimodal 2013
• Develop ports map to create multimodal map
– Regular rail services / terminals; Shortsea routes; Inland
waterways
