Thomas O’Hagan, Weev’s Chief Commercial Officer, has welcomed the decision by MLAs to pass the Vehicle Emissions Trading Scheme Amendment Order 2024 in the Northern Ireland Assembly.
He said: “Weev welcomes the decision by the Northern Ireland Executive to begin implementing the ZEV Mandate to the province with the Vehicle Emissions Trading Scheme Amendment Order 2024, the first major step towards the complete execution of the ZEV Mandate in Northern Ireland.”
“The Order means that the Department for Infrastructure will now catch up on the rest of the UK on vehicle emissions targets, having passed the legislation a year on from its implementation in the UK, Welsh and Scottish parliaments.”
“The ZEV Mandate will provide assurances to charging point operators that the Executive is committed to reducing vehicle emissions through alternative energy systems for road users like electric vehicles. A strong EV charging network in Northern Ireland will provide road users with an efficient, consumer-friendly energy source in urban centres and rural areas across the region.”
“The ZEV Mandate will improve productivity and competition in the EV market across Northern Ireland, Great Britain and beyond.”
