Product Information

The new number plates can be retro-fitted to any existing vehicles, including cars, vans, buses, HGVs, taxis and motorcycles as long as they emit no CO2 emissions at the tailpipe. They will consist of a green flash on the left-hand side of the plate and can be combined with the Union flag and national identifiers already permitted by the regulations. of respondents were in favour of displaying the left-hand design in addition to national flags and lettering that can occupy that area of the plate. This comprised 582 (52.9%) individuals and 25 (56.8%) organisations. 381 (33.3%) were against this approach, comprising 371 (33.7%) individuals and 10 (22.7%) organisations – indicating they felt drivers should have to choose between displaying these design characteristics.157 respondents (13.7%) indicated they did not know/have a preference. Question 5: What other views and reasoning on the design of the green number plates do you feel should be considered respondents agreed with the consultation proposal that green number plates should be opt-out. This was composed of 616 (55.7%) individuals, and 26 (55.3%) organisations. Respondents that agreed with the proposed position were not prompted to give their reasoning. A total of 1200 responses were submitted, comprising 1134 individuals and 66 organisations. The organisations were made up of vehicle manufacturers and interest groups; various motoring and consumer groups; local authorities and public bodies; and number plate industry groups. Government is grateful for the considered opinions and reasoning submitted in response to this consultation. The introduction of the new plates follows the first-ever meeting of ministers from the world’s largest car markets last month, to form a new Zero Emission Vehicle Transition Council. Hosted by the Business Secretary and the Transport Secretary, the council aims to help accelerate the pace of the global transition, with further council meetings to take place in 2021, including at the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference (also known as COP26).

green number plate design will be a green flash on the left hand side of the number plate. The design can be displayed in addition to a national flag and lettering. The design will be on front and rear plates. The vast majority of respondents agreed with the proposed position that green number plates should be available to new and existing qualifying vehicles. We are conscious this will require government and the DVLA to work closely with industry over the coming months to make clear the process for supplying and correctly issuing the plates. We will therefore implement green number plates based on them being available to new and existing qualifying vehicles. provide a UK-wide mechanism which will enable people to spot and differentiate vehicles based on their environmental impact, help inform road-users and normalise the idea of clean vehicles on our roads. This plays an important part in encouraging road users to shift to cleaner vehicles green number plates will be non-mandatory; opt-out; available to new and existing qualifying vehicles. This includes eligible cars, vans, taxis, motorbikes, as well as buses, coaches, HGVsdisagreed, of which 146 (13.2%) were individuals and 3 (5.9%) were organisations. The majority of these respondents did not provide a substantive view on what they thought would be more suitable. A number restated their view that the current, wider approach to number plate regulation required reform. Question 11: Do you agree that the visual characteristics of green number plates should only serve as a soft enforcement mechanism? From individual drivers, to business fleets, to cities and local authorities, green number plates are an exciting opportunity for drivers to show leadership and visible commitment to the future of the planet. They will provide powerful motivation to encourage drivers to shift to cleaner vehicles. The consultation made clear that to be a success, the green number plate scheme must secure and maintain credibility, and the trust and confidence of stakeholders and the public. This means it must minimise risk to other policy areas, and must be futureproofed so that it does not get outdated by market change. The scheme must also be deliverable within existing structures and contexts, and in timescales that are appropriate to capture the growing ULEV market. The consultation document set out a number of considerations relating to the design of the plates. These included the need to providing an effective awareness-raising and communications tool; establishing and maintaining buy-in and trust, such as by avoiding wider policy risks; and taking forward a design that can be delivered through legislative change in an appropriate timeframe to support the policy’s goals.

Respondents were generally supportive of the approaches proposed in the consultation document for how green number plates should implemented. The main outcomes and decisions are briefly summarised. Green number plates can also be retrofitted to zero-emissions vehicles. So, if you already have an electric car and want a green plate, you can buy one and arrange the swap in the same way you would change standard plates.We are going further and faster than any other major economy to decarbonise transport, improving air quality in our towns and cities in the process and harnessing the power of clean, green technology to end the UK’s contribution to climate change by 2050.

Action: Through the legislative amendments, government will insert the scheme into the existing regulatory and enforcement landscape around the supply and display of eligible plates. Government will work with industry to maintain the light touch approach to the scheme’s implementation, and make clear green number plates should only serve as a visual awareness raising tool, and soft enforcement mechanism for any local measures. Question 12: Please provide any other views around the expected cost of implementing this policy A number of industry respondents said that, from their perspective, any increase in the price over conventional plates would be very minor. This mirrored the view set out by government in the consultation document. agreed that the green number plate itself should only serve as a soft enforcement mechanism. This was comprised of 827 (75.1%) individuals and 38 (80.1%) organisations. Respondents that agreed with the proposed position were not prompted to give their reasoning. In conjunction with the DVLA, government will now seek to amend the necessary legislation to implement the above scheme. The timescales for this are subject to Parliamentary time, but we will aim to do so with a view to introducing the number plates in the UK in Autumn 2020, so as to capture the emerging vehicle market and act when the awareness raising benefits are highest. Reflecting on the views submitted, government will define green number plate eligibility for vehicles with zero tailpipe emissions only. This is due to being simple and transparent, and very easy for consumers to understand – as it rules out the potential for any tailpipe climate and air quality emissions. It is more easily operationalised, as it creates eligibility requirements that are clearer and simpler to communicate and evidence. It also incentivises the cleanest vehicles and is futureproofed against rapid technology change – so stays effective as a strong communications and behavioural tool to support long term policy objectives and targets.Green number plates will be seen on roads for the first time from today, (8 December 2020) Transport Minister Rachel Maclean has announced, as the country prepares to accelerate the transition to electric vehicles as part of our commitment to reach net-zero by 2050.

Action: Though the legislative amendments, government will stipulate green number plate design to be a green flash on the left hand side of the number plate, and that the design can be displayed in addition to UK national flags and lettering. Rollout and implementation Question 6: Do you agree with our proposal that the green number plates should not be mandatory? help local authorities visually identify ZEVs for the purposes of locally led policies and incentives, and local communication and awareness campaignsDesign Question 2: Do you agree with our proposal that the green number plate design should be restricted to the left-hand side of the number plate? agreed that green number plates should be a light touch scheme. This was comprised of 727 (65.7%) individuals and 35 (74.5%) organisations. Respondents that agreed with the proposed position were not prompted to give their reasoning. help local authorities to visually identify ZEVs for the purposes of locally led policies and incentives, and local communication and awareness campaigns of the total supported a green flash, of which 629 (57.5%) were individuals, and 32 (66.6%) were organisations We note some respondents referred to the cost of implementing local policies and incentives. As stated in the consultation document, green number plates is primarily an awareness rising tool, and that any local policies and incentives must be locally led, appropriately enforced, and fit in with local community and transport needs.
