"The UK must stand firm. Our ZEV mandate is already driving jobs, investment and innovation into the UK. As major exporters we cannot compete unless we innovate, and global markets are going electric fast," said T&E UK's director Anna Krajinska. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

🌊 Cruise growth must not come at the cost of clean air and healthy communities. The UK Government’s cruise growth plan, launched in September, aims to boost coastal economies -touted as worth £5.8 billion a year and supporting 60,000 jobs.

Great to see our UK Vehicles Policy Manager Tim Dexter interviewed for the BBC In-Depth piece on the realities of #Carspreading www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Interesting read ahead of the European Commission's Auto Package presentation next week: www.theguardian.com/business/202...

🚗 Pay-per-mile charging is the right long-term goal, but giving plug-in-hybrids another tax break unjustifiable.

We support this campaign from @wearepossible.bsky.social highlighting public support for fairer taxation of private jets in the UK.

What’s been happening with SUV sales in the UK? 🚘 SUV sales have continued to grow in the UK market this year - meaning more emissions, safety risks and road wear, and less space on our roads for pedestrians and communities 📈

Great to see our UK director Anna Krajinska interviewed by @jeevanvasagar.bsky.social for this piece in @theobserveruk.bsky.social on how the UK’s green transition is shaping up, and what’s at stake if we don’t keep up. observer.co.uk/news/busines...

We’ve joined forces across civil society & have written a joint letter to the HM Treasury advising urgent tax reform on the UK’s heaviest, most polluting cars. We’re calling for change: a straightforward large vehicle levy, that would raise nearly £2bn for vital public investment. #AutumnBudget

🚗⚡ Electric Cars Drive UK Auto Industry’s Biggest Growth Opportunity! A thread ⬇️

🔋Today’s Electric Vehicle (EV) stats from New Automotive highlight a breakthrough month for the UK EV market delivering the highest battery electric vehicle (BEV) market share of the year, with 26% of all new cars sold fully electric.

🔌 Electric Vehicle (EV) drivers who are able to rely on at-home charging have already been benefitting from lower running costs compared to petrol vehicles, but new analysis from The Times now shows that drivers relying solely on public charging are also saving money.

🚨In response to the government's publication of their Carbon Budget and Growth Delivery plan this afternoon, our T&E UK Director Anna Krajinska has the following response [A thread]

⏰ Yesterday’s ‘Houses of Carliament’ event for our Large Vehicle Levy was a great success, with strong engagement from MPs and fellow advocates. 💰 The proposed levy aims to generate approximately £2 bill annually by ensuring heavier vehicles pay their fair share of road taxes. #HousesOfCarliament

Thank you so much for joining us to discuss the issues, and our large vehicle levy ahead of the Autumn Budget. #housesofcarliament

We're here at Westminster today for our 'Houses of Carliament' to demonstrate how cars are consistently getting bigger and heavier - drop by to discuss our solution of a large vehicle levy.

📅 Join us tomorrow at the ‘Houses of Carliament’ from 11am at Old Palace Yard, Westminster, to experience first-hand the pressing issue of increasing vehicle size & our proposed solution: the Large Vehicle Levy. 🫂 We welcome you to drop in for a conversation. It's time for tax fairness on UK roads

⏰ Today the Transport Secretary launched a "swift and robust” review to fast-track Heathrow expansion cutting the process timeline by 3 years. ⁉️ But here’s the real question: Where’s the clarity on how Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) will be produced at scale in the UK?

'Smoke screen: the growing PHEV emissions scandal' part 2: 💸 On average, running a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) costs drivers over £650 more every year than driving an equivalent fully electric vehicle (BEV).

🚨 New data shows plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) are far dirtier than claimed. 📑 With the #Dieselgate trial unfolding this week, fresh evidence suggests plug‑in hybrids (PHEVs) could be the next big deception. Full 'Smoke Screen' report below.👇 #PHEV #BEV #ElectricCars #Emissions #Transport

🚨 #Dieselgate trial opens this week – the biggest group action in UK history and a major test of carmaker accountability across Europe! 🔎 What’s happening? 10 years ago, the car industry was caught red-handed cheating emissions tests with defeat devices.

🚗What a great discussion yesterday with our UK Director Anna Krajinska joining the panel at @lcefuk.bsky.social event “Leading the Charge: The Next Stage of the EV Transition.”⚡ #LabourConference #EV #ZevMandate #transport #environment

✈️ At the Labour Conference, T&E UK’s Flight Risk event brought together MPs, industry leaders and experts to tackle aviation’s climate challenge beyond CO₂ - spotlighting the impact of contrails ☁️ and how tackling the issue is the the climate opportunity of the decade.

⚡🚗 The EV transition is entering its next critical phase. 🌍🔋 We’ll be joining a timely discussion on what comes next, and what it means for the road ahead. 💡👥Join us!

🛫 This week the Government approved expansion of Gatwick Airport a move that will skyrocket demand for clean tech to tackle aviation emissions. Let’s build Britain’s clean aviation future before expanding its carbon footprint! 🌍✈️ #SustainableAviation #SAF #Gatwick #NetZero #GreenTech

Latest: Indonesia launches a probe into POME exports following concerns over fraud. Earlier this year T&E published data showing Indonesia was exporting more POME (a palm oil byproduct) to the EU than it could realistically collect - a major sign of fraud.

The U.K. isn’t using its tax regime to disincentivise SUV purchases. A UK driver pays just £3200 acquisition tax on an £85k car, compared to *£66k* in France!! As a result, 4x as many are sold here in the U.K. than France. @transenvuk.bsky.social

Interesting policy suggestion from @transenvuk.bsky.social - Large Vehicle Levy, where cars are charged £10 per kg over 1600kg in weight (with a 400kg allowance for EVs). Suggest it would raise £2 billion for the Treasury.

🚙💰 UK Forfeits almost £2bn by Remaining a Tax Haven for SUVs. 💡 The solution? T&E UK proposes a simple weight-based levy, ensuring larger vehicles pay their fair share. www.transportenvironment.org/te-united-ki...

🏁 Kicking off London International Shipping Week 2025, the Department for Transport has announced £448 million to accelerate shipping decarbonisation and boost green growth across the UK. #LISW25 #Shipping #Decarbonisation #IMO #EmissionsTrading

Good news: EV prices are falling fast thanks to regulation like the ZEV mandate. But when rules are weakened, progress stalls. In the EU, carmakers scaled back ambition after CO₂ targets were watered down. That means fewer EVs and higher costs for consumers.

Great working with BBC Business on their truck electrification story—plenty to talk about as cleaner tech shakes up the freight scene and sparks policy action! 🚚🔋 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Very good meeting today with @caneurope.org, @wwf.eu, @carbonmarketwatch.bsky.social, and @transenv.bsky.social. We discussed the state of play ahead of #COP30, the 2040 climate target process, the EU’s Nationally Determined Contribution, as well as taxation initiatives.
