## Definition

**Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle (ULEV)** means a vehicle that emits less than \[75g\] of CO2 per kilometre travelled as measured by the World Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP).

**Electric Vehicle (EV)** means a vehicle that is capable of being propelled by electrical power derived from a storage battery.

**Zero and Low Emission Vehicle (ZLEV)** means a car or \[Light Commercial Vehicle (LCV)\] which emits \[0 to 50g\] of CO2 per kilometre as measured by the World Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP).

**Light Commercial Vehicle (LCV)** means a vehicle used for the carriage of goods that has a maximum mass not exceeding 3.5 tonnes.

**Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV)** means a vehicle which emits 0g of CO2 per kilometre as measured by the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP).
