Choose what suits you and help everyone in Rotherham breathe easier.
Using outdated fuels like diesel means our vehicles pollute too much. In fact, exhaust fumes are responsible for 100 early deaths in Rotherham every single year - more than traffic accidents! But it doesn’t have to be that way. Cleaner-fuelled vehicles come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, so there’s something for everyone.
With the right knowledge, it’s easy to find a vehicle you’ll love that doesn’t hurt people’s lungs.
Our mission is clear: we need to improve Rotherham’s air quality, for the people of today and the children of the future. Together, we can make a huge difference just through small changes – like making better fuel choices.
And with more options on the market than ever, it’s the perfect time to upgrade to something that’s better for everyone’s health.

It’s not just good for your health. It’s good for your bank balance, too.
You’ll cut your fuel and maintenance costs, save on tax and insurance and stay ahead of new regulations on dirty vehicles like Clean Air Zones.
As well as government grants available to help you go electric, there are loads of affordable used low-emission vehicles on the market too – so there’s never been a better time to consider a switch.
Just as the number of cleaner vehicles increases every year, so too does the number of electric recharging stations across the country. From Aston to Wath, there are locations across Rotherham – and more are being added each year.
You can now drive an electric vehicle for long distances in the UK without having to worry about running out of juice. Find your nearest station at the Zap Map website.
