Scope of the Scale and Quality of Inefficient Used Vehicle Exports from the UK to ODA-Eligible Countries

The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) have commissioned an external organisation to conduct research into the UK's contribution to the dumping of inefficient 2nd hand vehicles in Overseas Development Assistance (ODA) eligible countries. The overarching objective of this project is to gather robust data on the scale and quality of used vehicle exports to ODA-eligible countries. Our primary aim is to gather information to understand the emissions profile, age and quality of the used vehicles the UK exports to developing countries - this will help us to ascertain the extent to which the UK contributes to the problem of 'dumping' highly inefficient and environmentally harmful vehicles in developing country markets
