Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of the role of telematics in assisting the rollout of electric vehicles.

The Government is aware that telematics is being used by the fleet industry as an important tool to assess the readiness of fleet vehicles for electrification, making it a valuable tool in the move to reduce emissions from road transport. Through the Energy Savings Trust (EST), the Government encourages the widespread adoption of low and zero emissions motoring by businesses operating fleets, company car owners and private motorists.
