Green number plates for zero emission vehicles are set to be introduced from 8 December 2020. The plates will make it easier for cars to be visually identified as zero emission vehicles, helping local authorities design and put in place new policies, such as zero emission zones, to incentivise people to own and drive them. This follows the conclusion of a government consultation earlier this year on the introduction of green number plates.
