Outdated guidance could result in wrongly issued fines for yellow box offences

27 April 2022

Local authorities have recently been given powers to fine drivers for yellow box junction offences, but the RAC has raised its concerns over a potential ‘avalanche of penalty charge notices’ being wrongly issued to drivers if government guidance is not updated. These concerns have been laid out by the RAC in a report, Enforcing yellow box junction rules fairly: the dangers facing councils and drivers. It says that official guidance in Chapter 5 of the Traffic Signs Manual does not clearly state the specific purpose of yellow box... Read full article

A new mobile recharging service aims to tackle EV range anxiety

The grey fleet low-carbon challenge

18 April 2022

The Association of Fleet Professionals (AFP) says that making grey fleet operations low-carbon will be a major challenge over the next few years. AFP chair Paul Hollick said, “By the end of this year, and certainly looking into 2023, it’s likely that many major fleets will have something like a 30-50% rate of EV penetration. They are well on the way to becoming zero emissions fleets. “However, the rate of change for grey fleet is much, much slower. Among private motorists using their car for work purposes, those opting for PHEVS and EVs are... Read full article

Concern over proposals for new workplace parking levies

11 April 2022

Proposals to enforce new workplace parking levies in more than 12 towns and cities in England could see employees charged for driving to work. Businesses operating within a city centre could be charged up to £1,000 per parking space they own each year. Concerns are now rising over the potential for this to result in charges for employees using the spaces. The proposed levies are intended to reduce traffic congestion and pollution, as well as raising money which will be reinvested into projects for sustainable public transport. So far, Nottingham...

TFL to expand 20MPH limits and crackdown on speeding

06 April 2022

A recent report by Transport for London (TFL) reveals that it is ‘working towards having the capacity to enforce up to one million speeding offences by 2024/25’. This annual target is hoped to be achieved through the expansion of 20MPH speed limits in the capital and five new ‘LASERcam 4’ devices that combine a speed gun and video camera, which will be used in speeding ‘hot spot’ locations. Almost 50 miles of TfL red routes are already limited to 20mph, with a further 140 miles due to be converted by 2024. In the period... Read full article

London’s ULEZ is set to expand again

04 April 2022

Transport for London is consulting on another expansion of the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) to cover the entirety of Greater London by the end of 2023. The zone was already expanded in October 2021 from the Congestion Zone up to the North and South Circular roads. Mayor of London Sadiq Khan made it clear that, in light of these new expansion plans, he would no longer be considering a Clean Air Charge for those driving in London or a charge for non-residents to enter the capital. He said, “At a time when people’s budgets are under pressure,... Read full article

EV charging units could provide operational and cost benefits for fleet owners

30 March 2022

Trials of a new portable electric vehicle charging solution created by ZipCharge will soon commence and could provide operational and cost benefits for fleet owners. The solution, Go Charger, is expected to contain between 4 and 8kWh of energy and provide between 32 to 64 kms of range at a 7.2kW EV charging rate. This means that it would take 30 to 60 minutes to charge an electric vehicle on average. The portable charger itself can be charged from any plug socket and is then wheeled to your vehicle using the retractable handle, similarly to... Read full article
