Large Goods Vehicles: Electric Vehicles
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps her Department is taking to accelerate investment in electrification infrastructure for HGV charging in Buckingham and Bletchley constituency.
Answered by Keir Mather
The £171 million Depot Charging Scheme will support the uptake of zero emission vans, coaches, and HGVs by part-funding the installation of charging infrastructure at fleet depots up to £1 million. This builds on the Zero Emission HGV Infrastructure Demonstrator (ZEHID) programme, which has already provided more than £120 million in funding to deploy hundreds of zero emission HGVs and their associated charging and refueling sites. The Government is also working with National Highways to deliver a series of webinars to support truck stop operators to prepare for zero emission HGV charging.
