Defra's recently completed research project aimed to improve the evidence base on emissions from non-road mobile machinery (NRMM), including transport refrigeration units, specifically by improving our understanding of the UK NRMM emissions fleet. This involved working with a number of industry and sector experts. It was important that parties contributing to the research project were able to share their ideas and data with Defra in confidence should they wish to. Therefore, we do not intend to publish a list of contributors to the research project.

We are now considering next steps on NRMM and are undertaking further work to address some remaining evidence gaps. We will consult with further stakeholders in due course as appropriate.
