Background
• The UK’s approach to reducing CO2 emissions is through 5 year, legislated ‘Carbon Budgets’
• The 4th Budget, 2023 – 2027, has just been accepted by Government and is about to be recommended to Parliament for approval
• The first three Budgets (2008 – 2022): focus on emissions from cars and vans
• 4th Budget (2023 – 2027): HGVs and freight start to make a significant contribution in scenario modelling – and more is needed
The UK’s 2050 target
International aviation & shipping*
Agriculture non-CO2
Other non-CO2 & LUC
Industry (heat and industrial processes)
Residential & commercial heat
Domestic transport
Power generation
* bunker fuels basis

90% reduction needed for surface transport
• 80% reduction in GHG emissions from 1990 levels by 2050
• At least 90% reduction likely to be required in surface transport sector• more challenging sectors (international aviation and shipping, agricultural
non-CO2, some areas of industry) unlikely to achieve 80% reduction
• 90% total reduction likely to be required across other sectors (transport, buildings and industry, power)
• Emissions reduction measures need to be consistent with 90% reduction in land transport by 2050

Context for transport scenariosScenario to 2020
• New car efficiency of 95 gCO2/km including impact of electric vehicles
• Significant take up of electric cars (BEV and PHEV) with 16% of new car sales and 1.7 million cars on the road in 2020
• New van efficiency of 135 gCO2/km in 2020 (in line with now superseded EU target proposal!)
• Limited abatement in HGVs
• Biofuels to supply 8% of total liquid fuel consumption (by energy)
• Roll-out of Smarter Choices to all UK cities and towns
• Training 10% of car and van drivers and 100% of HGV drivers in eco-driving techniques
• Enforcing the existing 70 mph speed limit on motorways and dual carriageways

HGV improvement: Ricardo report for DfT
• Review of Low Carbon technologies for Heavy Goods Vehicles prepared for the UK Department for Transport, March 2010 Ricardo plc
• A technology study to look at the options for CO2 reduction –effectiveness, limitations, safety, estimated costs – to inform a regulatory and funding framework to reduce emissions from HGVs
• Medium Duty vehicle: 7.5t, urban use – stop/start, 2-axle, rigid
• Heavy Duty vehicle: > 32.5t, motorway use, 3-axle, articulated
• Vehicles: aerodynamics, rolling resistance, driver behaviour, electric bodies
• Powertrain: engine efficiency, waste heat recovery, alternative powertrains and transmissions
• Fuels: biodiesel, biogas, hydrogen

HGV technologies in the 2030 scenario
• Rigid HGVs– Low rolling resistance tyres– Stop start hybrid
• Articulated HGVs– Low rolling resistance tyres– Flywheel hybrid– Aerodynamic trailer/body– Aerodynamic fairings– Single wide tyres
• Emissions reduction delivered from these technologies– 17% for rigid HGVs– 28% for articulated HGVs
• Additional contributions for HGVs– 100% driver training in ‘Eco Driving’– 11% biofuel by energy, 12% by volume– Demand reduction: 6.5% HGV km
Energy: 52% overcoming rolling resistance35% aerodynamic drag
16
Hydrogen vehicle assumptions in 2030
• Assumption that there is no widespread national hydrogen fuelling infrastructure in the 2030 scenario
• Opportunities for hydrogen limited to depot based fuelling model
• 50% new buses run on hydrogen by 2030
• We consider this a “worst/minimum case” hydrogen scenario; ideally cost and technology breakthroughs will make hydrogen a stronger part of the mix by 2030, especially in vehicles where battery technology is unsuitable
17
‘Cautious’ biofuel assumptions in 2030
• Holding position in advance of 2011 Bioenergy Review
• Previous advice consistent with Gallagher Review (2008): maximum of 8% by energy in 2020
• 31TWh in 2020 held constant to 2030 (11% of liquid fuel by energy in 2030)
• High scenario based on IEA BLUE Map global biofuel consumption: 61TWh (21% of liquid fuel by energy) in 2030

• Conventional vehicle efficiency: 80g cars, 120g vans• Electric and PHEV cars and vans reach 60% of new vehicles• Overall vehicle emissions: 52g/km new cars - 64% reduction, 81g/km
fleet - 53% reduction• Biofuels remain at Gallagher level of 31TWh, 12% of liquid fuel• Hydrogen buses reach 50% of new vehicles• 17- 28% reduction in CO2 emissions from HGVs• Overall reductions
