I thank the witnesses for the replies. Is the Department is committed to demand management, reduction and the avoid, shift and improve principle? That is really about electric vehicles where there is no other way of providing the transport needs of the population. If the Department is committed to this, it would have a much larger target either for the vehicles powered by fossil fuels or a total target. It does not sound like the commitment is there, as far as I can hear.
