Are you ZEV Mandate ready?

The ban on the sale of petrol and diesel vehicles may have been relaxed to 2035, but vehicle manufacturers are still under pressure to increase the proportion of EVs they sell. This legislation – the ZEV mandate – has largely gone unnoticed but will have significant implications for any organisation involved in providing EVs to their clients. This course explains the legislation in detail.

Who should attend?

The course is designed for all sales and account management staff working in organisations that supply EVs to their customers. It will also be of use for all other customer facing teams (such as customer services and driver support)

Course Content

The course will cover the following areas.

  • What is the Zero Emission Mandate?
  • Why is it in place?
  • How does it align with other zero emission legislation?
  • Who does it affect?
    • And who is exempt?
  • What are the penalties for missing the target?
    • And how can these be mitigated/reduced?
  • How are the manufacturers performing now?
  • How will this pressure on OEMs filter down to Fleets and Fleet Providers?
  • How can BVRLA members best prepare for the mandate taking hold?
  • What could the landscape look like by 2030?
