Increased uptake of ultra-low emission vehicles
Following greater introduction of electric vehicles and discussions surrounding higher emission standards, the number of licensed ultra-low emission vehicles has been rising significantly. In the past eight years it has grown from 11,222 units to nearly 185,470. This increase particularly started to pick up following the diesel scandal.
