You asked
Hi There,
We would please like to put in an FOI request to breakout the ages of all current PCO Registered Private Hire Vehicles. Ideally it would be something like this:
Year of Registration Number of Licensed Vehicles
2022 1000
2021 1000
Etc etc etc up to 10 years old
We are trying to establish when vehicles will drop off and be unable to be re-licensed and be able to plot this over the coming years.
The reason for this data is plotting EV adoption, as older PHV’s become un-licensable and need to be replaced by new EV’s.

Our ref: FOI-0958-2223/GH
