• Introduce Low Emissions Zones (LEZ) into Scotland’s four biggest cities between 2018 and 2020 • LEZs into all other AQMAs by 2023 where NLEF appraisals advocate such mitigation • Promote the use of ultra-low emission vehicles (ULEVs), with a target to phase out the need for new petrol and diesel cars and vans by 2032 • Create Scotland’s first ‘electric highway’.

• Doubling of active travel budget • Introduce Europe’s most comprehensive network of cutting-edge remote sensing air quality monitors on local and trunk roads • To help those who will have the most difficulty in making the transition, will create a Low Emission Zone Support Fund

ROSEANNA CUNNINGHAM MSP Cabinet Secretary for Environment, Climate Change and Land Reform “Delivering multiple LEZs across Scotland is ambitious. It represents the largest ever programme of transport-based air quality mitigation in Scotland.”

MICHAEL MATHESON MSP Cabinet Secretary for Transport, Infrastructure and Connectivity “It is critical is that LEZs are brought forward in tandem with other measures like bus priority”

CLLR. ANNA RICHARDSON GCC Convenor Transport and Environment “The LEZ will make significant reductions to air pollution in the city centre and when fully implemented, will cover all vehicles by December 2022”

Scottish Parliament scrutiny of LEZs

Air Quality Statements, Debates, MACCS and Parliamentary Questions; ECCLR Committee Air Quality Inquiry 2017 into 2018; Inclusion of LEZs into Transport (Scotland) Bill; REC Committee Bill call for evidence in 2018,

LEZs in the Transport (Scotland) Bill

“…individuals driving vehicles which fail to meet specified emission standards will be prohibited from driving those vehicles in the designated geographical area.

Where a person breaches this rule, a penalty charge will be payable unless the vehicle is exempt.” http://www.parliament.scot/S5_Bills/Transport%20(Scotland)%20Bill/SPBill33ENS052018.pdf

LEZ objectives The LEZ scheme objectives must include an objective of contributing towards meeting the air quality objectives prescribed under section 87(1) of the Environment Act 1995 (regulations about air quality).

Objectives met ≠LEZ revoked

LA powers to make a LEZ: local authority may: • make a LEZ scheme for all or part of its area (including trunk roads) • amend or revoke LEZ scheme made by it • two or more local authorities can act jointly to make a LEZ

Ministerial approval

A low emission zone scheme cannot be made, amended or revoked unless the proposal to make, amend or revoke the scheme is approved by the Scottish Ministers.

Required content of a scheme • Area on a map

• Scheme objectives

• Specifying the roads

• Scheme may not specify a private road or special road

• Date when the scheme comes into effect

Operating hours

Emission standards

“Although the specific emissions standard will be set by regulations and is not specified in the Bill, it may be a reasonable assumption that this will be consistent with the general leading emission standards for low emission zones established in Europe – presently Euro VI/6 for diesel vehicles and Euro 4 for petrol vehicles”

To be set out in Regulations…

Grace periods The grace period applicable to non-residents must expire: • not less than 1 year after it begins, and • not more than 4 years after it begins.

The grace period applicable to residents must expire: • not less than 1 year after the expiry of the grace period applicable to non-residents, and • not more than 2 years after the expiry of that period.

Enforcement and detection

Insert detail in here

Regulations will focus on approved devices and penalty method of issue, timings and manner of payment of a penalty + reviews and appeals

Penalties Only one penalty charge notice in the same day per LEZ to the registered keeper DVLA record certifying a vehicle’s emission standard is determinative Fine not exceeding level 5 on the standard scale (+ surcharge option)

Application of penalty money Any penalty monies only for the purposes of: • facilitating (directly or indirectly) the achievement of the scheme’s objectives, and • making any repayments required as a condition of a grant

Time limited exemptions 1. Nationally consistent exemptions 2. Granting and renewal of a time-limited exemption by the LA The maximum period for an exemption must be no longer than 1 year.

National consistency as we consider options including: • Emergency services • Military • Blue Badge • Historic • Hearses • Etc…

Temporary suspension …suspend the LEZ…for a specified period …for the purposes of an event which: • is being held within, or in the vicinity of, the zone to which the scheme relates, and • the local authority considers to be of national importance.

Regulation and Guidance stakeholder workshops Workshop 1 - Discussion • 8 May – 1000 to 1600 - Glasgow • 9 May – 1000 to 1600 – Aberdeen • 10 May - 1000 to 1600 - Dundee Workshop 2 – Feedback • 20 May – 1300 to 1600 – Aberdeen • 23 May – 0900 to 1200 – Glasgow • 24 May – 1300 to 1600 - Dundee

Funding LEZ SUPPORT FUND • To help those who will have the most difficulty in making the transition • Inclusion of LCV’s, taxi and HGVs • Funding package being developed now



Working with various supportive organisations including SEPA TS and SPT

What is an LEZ? 

Over 200 across number of countries in Europe – mostly trucks/vans/buses – London + CAZs



Defined geographical area in which vehicle entry is restricted based on the level of engine emissions.



In conclusion 

The purpose of the LEZ is to encourage drivers into the city centre to switch to cleaner vehicles sooner than would otherwise have occurred – it is not a means of revenue raising



LEZ Phase 2 will apply to all vehicles in the city centre from December 2022.



LEZ will deliver significant reductions in levels of harmful air pollution.



LEZ Phase 1 (buses) introduced first - from 2018 2022 by increments.



Already started to see improvements from Euro VI buses (additional 35 tonnes city centre NOx 2019).



The LEZ is only part of a range of measures required to reduce pollution in Glasgow.



Modal switch / Public and Sustainable transport are the long term answers to air pollution in the city centre and have health benefits beyond simply cutting pollution exposure.



Work continuing on stakeholder engagement e.g. on national exemption/grace periods.

Industry challenges

Martin Reid Policy Director Scotland and Northern Ireland, Road Haulage Association

The only UK trade body dedicated to road transport

Air Pollution and Low Emission Zones The potential impact on the haulage industry Martin Reid Policy Director, Scotland and Northern Ireland Road Haulage Association

Haulage - the backbone of the economy

NOx – a short chemistry lesson

NOx emissions – where do they come from?

Scotland’s most polluted areas

Air quality differs in geographical extent ‘Hot spots’ and sources of local pollution must be considered carefully for local solutions to be effective

Image from Friends of the Earth Scotland

Alternative thinking Innovative walls that absorb pollution could be the key to tackling Glasgow’s poor air quality levels, it has been claimed.

Each ‘CityTree’ costs £20,000 and incorporates moss and plants specially selected for their pollution absorption qualities.

HGV NOx emissions between 2013 and 2025 Index 2013 = 100

Changing the fleet

What is Government doing?

The Scottish Government has committed to LEZs in Scotland’s four largest cities between 2018 & 2020.

Derek MacKay MSP recently introduced the Transport (Scotland) Bill to Parliament.

This sets parameters for Local Authorities to implement an LEZ. This SHOULD mean uniform standards & zones across Scotland – but every Local Authority is different.

Glasgow will implement first LEZ. Other Local Authorities need to announce their plans if they want hauliers to comply with their LEZ by Scottish Government target dates.

So far the Scottish Governments approach & consultation has been very good.

Emission Standards

An HGV could deliver to three different cities in one given day For example: Dundee Edinburgh Glasgow We must avoid each city having different standards to comply with meaning one HGV can potentially no longer deliver to all three.

Dundee Edinburgh Glasgow

So what is the industry facing?

“During the call I was extremely alarmed to hear officials from HM Treasury confirm that in the event of no deal, there will be a rise in vehicle import tariffs. A 10% tariff on LCV’s and 22% on HGV’s will hit businesses hard in our sector. The typical cost of a HGV tractor unit is £85,000. This tariff will increase that cost to £103,700. Our sector works to very low profit margins – typically between 2-3% and this translates to about £60 profit per week per truck. On a separate issue, Government has already devolved responsibility for clean air zones to local authorities resulting in a completely uncoordinated approach to local policy making. Plans to charge trucks for entering clean air zones are being introduced quicker than the industry can feasibly upgrade their fleets to the latest Euro VI engine rating. This is a point we have been working hard to address with The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs”

Low Emission Zones

Phasing is essential – giving us time to plan.

This will be less disruptive for our sector.

Will avoid a knee-jerk reaction of a shift to vans (avoiding more congestion and pollution).

No bans or restrictions for vehicles less than 12 years old.

Government needs to provide local authorities with a single framework.

Summary – what should be done?

Low Emission Zone Issues Air Quality has to be addressed – it’s not just about vehicles Hauliers need time to plan – phasing is preferred – but they just need to know!

Retrofit requirements need developed – they’re not available yet Low Emission Zone Approach Consistent across Local Authority areas Reduce congestion Encourage out of hours movements (24/7) Consider non-transport generators If Government want to go faster, they need to support the industry – not penalise it.

We all want cleaner air But we need a balanced approach – and not at any cost

LEZ impact on hauliers

Margaret Simpson Head of Policy for Scotland and the North of England, Freight Transport Association

Mags Simpson: Head of Policy for Scotland & Northern England Hampden Park – March 2019

FTA’s Mission: “…..To make Logistics safer, cleaner and more efficient. We seek to ensure that our members can supply our towns and cities with the goods they require every day, whilst reducing any social impacts-including air pollution.”

How much freight comes into Glasgow?

Everything that we use and consume has been delivered by the freight industry:

Fuel for cars Coffee Bricks

Clothes and shoes

Waste vehicles Raw materials

Milk

Sugar

Food for pubs, restaurants, shops

Stationery for offices

Medical supplies

How much freight comes into Glasgow…???

Population of Glasgow = circa 600,000 Tonnes per day? = 27,000 *

Tonnes per hour? =1,125 * This fig does not include Freight in Vans….

44T = 1,286 trucks per Day (Based on 44T artic: 21T payload)

7.5T = 9,000 trucks per Day (Based on 7.5T rigid: 3T payload)

Enabling not restricting……..

Help enable Freight and Logistics to make the biggest impact • • • • •

Incentivise the up-take of alternatively-fuelled/electric vehicles Congestion management Retiming deliveries Consolidation Working with customers

When a CAZ is necessary - please consider: • Size of zones • Charges • Sunset clauses • Grants • Exempting authorised test facilities • Do not include vans

There will not be a “One-fits All” solution.

Inevitably a combination of different elements for different parts of Freight Industry….

SCOTTISH POSITION – LOW EMISSION ZONES

 95.5% supporting the principle of LEZs to help improve air quality in Scotland.

26.03.2019

 The Scottish Government is committed to introducing low emission zones into Scotland’s four biggest cities (Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Dundee) between 2018 and 2020.

 The views provided showed that the most popular suggestion was for LEZs to operate 24 hours, 7 days a week. Many agreed that LEZs should operate 24/7 either fully or with conditions.  “The Scottish Government should be clear that LEZs are an important step towards cleaner air, but not a panacea, and that other measures will be required if EU targets are to be met in the short term, in order to bring about a reduction in total vehicle miles travelled in areas subject to air quality problems.”

SUMMARY

renault-trucks.com

#SWITCHTOELECTRIC

 Defining a clear technology transport strategy for operating required vehicles and associated services, hardware and software, particularly around automation. It is essential that companies consider how they will accomplish their technologyrelated goals: For OEM’s like RTUK its by aiming to become the technology leader through in-house development strategy.  Identifying, piloting, and establishing new business models early on that leverage their existing customer base and industry know-how. They should pursue these efforts in trial and error mode, and consider inorganic growth options as well.  Finding ways to cooperate along the value chain and create platforms to create scale in the identified business models. Cooperative efforts and even mergers should also be considered across segment and industry borders. Players are already integrating along the value chain to exploit opportunities in areas beyond their traditional core businesses.
