Incentivise low emission fuels and technologies
In Fleets …through low emission procurement strategies
In Transport Planning …e.g. through low emission infrastructure
In Spatial Planning …through low emission developments or £ contributions

7. Information gaps: Quantifying the impacts
Lack of robust quantitative data to:
Compare low emission vehicle technologies
Assess low emission procurement strategies
Assess low emission planning measures
