The Vehicle Emissions Trading Schemes (Amendment) (No. 2) Order 2025
This Order amends the Vehicle Emissions Trading Schemes Order 2023 (S.I. 2023/1394) (“the 2023 Order”). The 2023 Order established four new trading schemes which limit, or encourage the limitation of, CO2 emissions resulting from the registration of new cars and light commercial vehicles (vans). Two of the schemes apply to cars: the Non-Zero-Emissions Car Registration Trading Scheme (“CRTS”) and the Non-Zero Emission Car CO2 Trading Scheme (“CCTS”), and two apply to vans: the Non-Zero-Emission Van Registration Trading Scheme (“VRTS”) and the Non-Zero Emission Van CO2 Trading Scheme (“VCTS”).
