The BVRLA has said it supports a report showing how car clubs and car-sharing schemes can help reduce London's CO2 emissions by 4% by 2020.
The report, commissioned by car-sharing company Zipcar, looks at round-trip car club use in the city and the option of one-way use in the future.
The report suggests a growth in the current round-trip model would result in 79,000 fewer cars on the road, a 4% reduction in CO2 emissions and a 4.6% fall in NOx emissions by 2020, with 800,000 new car-club members in London.
"The report highlights how car clubs and car-sharing can help the Government and local authorities to tackle urban transport challenges," said Gerry Keaney, BVRLA CEO.
Mayor of London Boris Johnson recently outlined try-before-you-buy car sharing as a potential measure to reduce CO2 emissions in the capital.
Johnson unveiled his plans in his 'Transport Emissions Roadmap' report. In it he set out plans to cut localised pollution by imposing a scheme similar to Nottingham City Council's £362 annual parking levy per work car park space.
Nottingham City Council is trialing automatic number plate recognition technology to enforce its workplace parking levy and London could utilise its congestion charge cameras that are already in place to monitor the capital's drivers.
