We support @MCIAtweets call for more time to phase out new non zero emission motorcycles
#ICEPhaseOut MCIA consultation response
Making up just 0.5% of UK domestic transport emissions, the ICE motorcycle phase out should not be a priority. Give the industry more time to adapt and allow technology to catch up #ICEPhaseOut MCIA consultation response
We support @MCIAtweets call for all new non zero emission motorcycles to be phased out from 2040 rather than the proposed date of 2035. There cannot and must not be a one size fits all approach #ICEPhaseOut MCIA consultation response
Given the relatively low environmental impact and countless benefits to riding a petrol motorcycle, a staged approach must be considered when phasing them out. The sector is complex and what’s feasible for some motorcycles isn’t feasible for others #ICEPhaseOut MCIA consultation response
Lifecycle analysis shows that in some cases, petrol motorcycles are more environmentally friendly than comparable electric cars #ICEPhaseOut LCA Study
Being smaller, lighter, and generally less powerful than larger vehicles, motorcycles (or L-Category vehicles) typically consume less energy, during both their manufacture and their use on the road. This translates into lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions over the lifetime of the vehicle. @MCIA UK is calling on Government to consider this when planning the phase out of new non zero emission motorcycles #ICEPhaseOut
@MCIA UK and the motorcycle industry fully supports the decarbonisation of transport, but this must not adversely affect segments of our market that aren’t able to phase out as quickly. All category L3 motorcycles should be included in a phase out date from 2040 rather than the 2030 and 2035 dates as proposed by the Government. The component and system supply chain for these vehicles is far less developed than its automotive counterparts and so commercially unviable for manufacturers to build and for customers to buy as the price point is currently too high.
Government should agree to regular ‘readiness checks’ to ensure #ICEPhaseOut
