King Review of low-carbon cars issues analytical report
At Budget 2007 the Chancellor of the Exchequer launched the King Review, to examine the vehicle and fuel technologies which could help to decarbonise road transport, particularly cars, over the next 25 years. The Review is led by Professor Julia King, Vice Chancellor of Aston University, working with Sir Nicholas Stern.
Professor Julia King’s interim analytical report was published on 9 October 2007 alongside the Pre-Budget Report. Part I: The potential for CO2 reduction sets out the environmental challenge for road transport and looks at the scope for emissions savings from more efficient vehicle technologies, cleaner fuels and smart consumer choices.
The final part of the King Review will report in 2008 and will offer policy recommendations to help meet the challenge set out in Part I.
The report is available in Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Format (PDF).
