Transport Minister announces £200 million zero emission HGV funding
At Logistics UK’s Future Logistics Conference earlier this month, Transport Minister, Trudy Harrison MP, announced £200 million in Government funding to continue its zero- emission HGV trials – which will help enable the logistics industry’s journey to decarbonisation, according to the business group. Logistics UK’s Acting Deputy Director
of Policy, Michelle Gardner, said: “Logistics businesses are committed to decarbonising their operations, but to ensure a smooth transition, they need clarity on the path to zero tailpipe emission HGVs; the trials announced will play a crucial role in identifying the right technological solutions to help enable this. “Now, Logistics UK is urging the Government to ensure the necessary supporting infrastructure and regulatory framework will be in place to make the use of these vehicles feasible for logistics businesses.” Ms Harrison also announced the publication of a call for evidence on derogations to the 2035 phase out for HGVs weighing 26 tonnes or over. She explained: “We should not impose change in the wrong place, on the wrong vehicle, on the wrong journey at the wrong time.”
