UK could follow Europe’s lead in making speed limiters mandatory

18 May 2022

Every car built in Europe from this month (May 2022) onwards will be required to be fitted with Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) technology, and UK ministers are set to launch a consultation on following suit. The technology, which can reduce engine power or sets off an alarm when the driver exceeds the speed limit, is intended to improve road safety and would likely be supported by environmental campaigners as lower speeds would help to reduce emissions. Though drivers can override the system in order to be able to speed up in the event of an emergency, it... Read full article

Taking away headaches for fleet managers

16 May 2022

Life can be complicated for fleet managers who need to be up to speed with legislation, fuel price fluctuation, electrification and de-carbonisation to name a few challenges, as well as being able to juggle complicated operational duties. It’s often distressing when an employee is involved in an accident and whether the situation is benign or serious, the matter can take many working hours to resolve without the right kind of support. Given that provisional Government statistics state that traffic accidents of all kinds resulted in 119,850 casualties in Great... Read full article

Toll roads could replace treasury tax income lost from the EV revolution

09 May 2022

As more and more people adopt electric vehicles, which are exempt from both fuel tax and car tax, the UK government is considering the introduction of toll roads on roads in towns and cities to replace the lost income. Fuel tax currently generates 1.2 per cent of national income annually, but this could greatly reduce as we journey towards the government’s net zero target. Currently, the only major toll road in England which road users must pay to use is the M6 toll road in the West Midlands, which costs £7.10 and £12.90 for cars and... Read full article

Quantum technology could reduce EV charging time to three minutes

04 May 2022

Quantum technology could reduce the charging time of electric vehicles from ten hours down to just three minutes. Scientists from the Institute for Basic Science in South Korea are researching the possibility of dramatically reducing charging time through the use of quantum physics by charging all of the cells in the battery simultaneously, as opposed to independently of one another as traditional EV batteries do. The Institute said, “While the maximum charging speed increases linearly with the number of cells in classical batteries, the... Read full article

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

A new roadside assistance policy extended as an insurance product aims to tackle the issue of ‘range anxiety’ and will be made available through the newly developed Recharge Rescue. In the event of losing power, electric vehicle (EV) drivers covered by the new policy can call an emergency number for assistance 24/7, at which point a van featuring a 7.2kW EV ‘fast charging’ unit will be dispatched to their location with a target ETA of 90 minutes. A further 30 minutes is required to charge the stranded vehicle, providing between 10-15 miles... Read full article
