Debate
Goods Vehicles (Testing, Drivers’ Hours and Tachographs etc.) (Amendment) Regulations 2026Contribution
To conclude, these draft regulations amend legislation on roadworthiness testing and drivers’ hours rules for 3.5 to 4.25 tonne zero-emission vans. They align the requirements for these vehicles with those that apply to otherwise equivalent internal combustion engine vans, ensuring a consistent and fair regulatory framework. In doing so, the regulations reduce burdens on businesses and support the uptake of zero-emission vans, helping to cut emissions from the logistics sector and assisting manufacturers in meeting their zero-emission vehicle mandate targets.
