Large Goods Vehicles and Vans: Carbon Emissions

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what the planned annual expenditure profile is for the £1 billion Zero Emission Truck and Van funding package.

Answered by Keir Mather

The schemes included in the zero emission commercial vehicle package announced on 25 March are demand led. The Government has not set out annual budgets on all schemes across all financial years to maximise flexibility in meeting the evolving needs of the zero emission transition, and to prevent speculation on remaining funds that could lead to market distorting behaviour. The Depot Charging Scheme has committed to a budget of £28 million in the 26/27 FY and £38 million in the 27/28 FY.
