DAF TRUCKS is ‘right behind’ the announcement of funding from the UK Government and Innovate UK for the Zero Emission HGV and Infrastructure Demonstrator programme.
DAF XD Electric and XF Electric tractor units will form part of a 370 vehicle fleet comprised primarily of battery electric, plus some hydrogen-fuelled trucks, rolled-out through four consortia made up of numerous stakeholders, each with responsibility to demonstrate higher weight/longer-distance zero emission operations and associated infrastructure.
Major operators involved in the programme include Maritime Transport, Marks & Spencer, Menzies, Royal Mail and Eddie Stobart.
