MORE zero emission trucks are set to drive on UK roads thanks to a £200 million boost to decarbonise freight vehicles, drive innovation and create new jobs as part of government action to support the sector.
With HGVs alone contributing 20% to all transport emissions across the UK, the £200 million in government funding will be invested across four innovative green projects to roll out up to 370 zero emission HGVs.
Delivered in partnership with Innovate UK, the £200 million Government investment from the zero emission HGV and infrastructure demonstrator programme will also deliver around 57 refuelling and electric charging sites, providing crucial infrastructure.
