Businesses in the UK are being offered a share of £1 billion to roll out zero-emission trucks and vans and install new electric vehicle (EV) chargers.
Companies are expected to save up to £81,000 off the heaviest zero-emission trucks – covering up to 40% of the cost – and up to £5,000 off new zero-emission vans while cutting costs, supporting jobs and slashing emissions.
The funding is being provided under the Zero Emissions Truck and Van grants and Depot Charging Scheme (DCS).
Aviation, Maritime and Decarbonisation Minister Keir Mather said: “This £1 billion investment cuts cost for British businesses, supports jobs, cleans up our roads and gives operators protection against shifting global fuel prices.
“The logistics sector is the backbone of the UK economy, worth £170 billion and supporting 2.7 million jobs. We’re helping them expand and decarbonise their fleets whilst saving them cash, driving growth up and down the country.”
Businesses and public authorities are also expected to save up to £1 million, covering up to 70% of the cost, when installing charging infrastructure for vans, coaches and HGVs, as a result of a £170 million boost to the government’s Depot Charging Scheme.
