Large Goods Vehicles: Electric Vehicles
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 28 October 2025 to Question 83387 on Large Goods Vehicles: Electric Vehicles, what estimate her Department has made of the annual cost of the Zero Emission HGV and Infrastructure Demonstrator programme for each of the next five years from 1 January 2026.
Answered by Keir Mather
We are unable to confirm the spend for 2025-26 as the financial year is still in progress with projects placing orders for final ZE HGVs and infrastructure sites.
All project spend is due to end at the end of the current financial year (31 March 2026). Programme spend for the remainder of the Spending Review period (2026/27-2029/30) is £1 million and will cover programme management costs, and benefits monitoring and evaluation activities.
