The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she plans to publish a roadmap for the (a) uptake and (b) deployment of zero emission heavy goods vehicles.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood

Government support to increase the uptake of zero emission heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) includes initiatives such as the Plug-In Truck Grant, reducing the upfront cost of zero emission HGVs, and the up to £200m Zero Emission HGV and Infrastructure Demonstrator (ZEHID) programme, delivering both zero emission both vehicles and supporting infrastructure. We are considering our regulatory pathway to decarbonising new non-zero emission HGVs and will set out further information in due course.
