The UK government will put £200 million funding into four demonstration projects aimed at promoting zero emissions trucks and putting more electric heavy goods vehicles (eHGVs) onto the roads.
EV registrations were over 70% higher last month than in August 2022, but concerns remain over lacking details on the Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) mandate.
An expansion of the Rapid Charging Fund (RCF) to cover all road transport could deliver enough capacity for en-route Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) charging and hydrogen re-fuelling at up to 78% of motorway service areas in England.
