⚡📮Nice work @royal-mail.bsky.social, who have just announced the launch of a new fleet of over 100 micro electric vehicles, replacing 52 vans.
Better for the climate and for deliveries. This is exactly the kind of move we need to see for cities free of diesel vans!

The Mayor has made changes to the Congestion Charge.
Pleased to see the Cleaner Vehicle Discount will continue to incentivise the uptake of greener electric vans, but small businesses and charities need more support to go electric, not new charges. #ElectrifyLondon

We also had panel discussions on to help Londoners access EVs, through better charging and electric car clubs; and on how we decarbonise commercial fleets with electric trucks and vans, cargo bikes, and all the cool tech in the middle. 3/

Electrifying London’s transport must be a shared mission, so this week we brought key players together at our #ElectrifyLondon Summit.
Thanks to @metecoban92.bsky.social for his brilliant keynote speech on ensuring electrification of transport is at the heart of a just transition for London! 1/

NEW ANALYSIS: Dutch truck/van focused zero-emission zones (ZEZ-f) are working!
Brand new @cleancitiescampaign.org research has found that they're driving a transition to electric fleets in the Netherlands.

I didn’t know Range Rovers came with a special permit that allows you to park on the pavement, on white zig-zags, with your engine idling - outside a primary school!
Quite the perk!

One lane of vans stuck in traffic.
One lane of cargo bikes flowing freely.
This photo powerfully shows the potential of cargo bikes in our cities.

🚲🚲🚲 The annual Cargo Bike Cruise in London yesterday - what an afternoon!
Our latest analysis shows that diesel vans are now the biggest road source of NOx pollution in central London. Shifting to cargo bikes is one of the key ways to get those dirty diesels off our streets. 1/

This comes from new analysis by us at Clean Cities of the brand new London Atmospheric Emissions Inventory.
It also shows that vans are forecast to be the biggest road contributor of NOx in 2030.
