However, chiefs have yet to publish the outcome of the report and any potential law changes with the situation \u201cdragging on for months\u201d.<\/p>\n
Paul Hollick, chair of the Association of Fleet Professionals said the Government appeared \u201cat odds\u201d over any updates.<\/p>\n
He explained: \u201cWe\u2019re big fans of the 4.25-tonne derogation. It makes absolute sense that the adoption of electric vans around the crucial 3.5-tonne mark should be made easier for as many fleets as possible.<\/p>\n
\u201cHowever, what we are seeing is confusion with, to adopt an old clich\u00e9, the left arm and the right arm of Government seemingly at odds. This wouldn\u2019t be so bad if the situation hadn\u2019t now been dragging on for several months. It\u2019s incredibly frustrating.<\/p>\n
\u201cFleets are receiving all kinds of conflicting advice \u2013 not just from OZEV and the DVSA but manufacturers, dealers, leasing companies and others \u2013 with no resolution in sight.\u201d<\/p>\n
