Large Goods Vehicles: Electric Vehicles
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the energy efficiency of electric heavy goods vehicles.
Answered by Keir Mather
The Zero Emission HGV Infrastructure Demonstrator programme will report on the impacts of weather, terrain, driver behaviour, and payload on efficiency and range of electric HGVs. Over 150 vehicles are now operational in UK fleets with a further 150 due to enter service by March 2026. A trial of 20 electric HGVs in public sector fleets ran between April 2022 and September 2023 and information including total miles travelled, energy consumption, and vehicle range were published and are available online at http://bett.cenex.co.uk.
