The result of responses from companies, kit car clubs and individuals is below
(taken from Pistonheads, and posted by Russ Bost (former manufacturer of Furore
ki cars):-
Confirmation of the "Air quality consultation" - hopefully this should allay
any remaining fears that it could be reneged on! A great outcome, well done to
everyone that responded!
The Governments response to their recent Road Vehicles Improving air quality
and safety consultation has been published today
"Our proposal to implement stricter emissions rules for kit cars was a minor
part of the package. But it raised serious concerns among kit car enthusiasts,
and attracted the vast majority of the 2340 responses received. There were
numerous objections, pointing out among other things the importance and value
of the UK's specialist vehicle industry. We have reflected on these concerns
and have decided not to proceed with this aspect of the proposal.
The Department is keen to ensure the continuing viability of smaller specialist
manufacturers, such as companies converting vehicles for wheelchair users.
Their input to the consultation was a useful reminder of the importance of this
sector and we will continue to respond to their concerns. I have instructed the
DfT Agencies to continue their good work in this area.
Emissions approval - kit cars (Basic IVA) (Q16)
In response to the strong opposition to our proposal to tighten the rules for
kit car emissions, the Department will not implement this aspect of the
proposal.
We have taken this decision after reflecting on the evidence and noting that
kit cars are a small proportion of the fleet, cover a low annual mileage and
are rarely used in town centres where air quality issues exist.
Therefore kit cars submitted for IVA will continue to be subject to an
MOT-style emissions test, using the current criteria in the IVA manual around
engine build/first use date."
