Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have for supporting the decarbonisation of heavy goods vehicles.

The Government is supporting the uptake of zero emission heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) and their supporting charging and fuelling infrastructure through initiatives such as the Plug-In Truck Grant, which is reducing the upfront cost of zero emission HGVs, the £30 million Depot Charging Scheme and the up to £200 million Zero Emission HGV and Infrastructure Demonstrator (ZEHID). ZEHID has already funded over 300 Zero Emission HGVs and 73 planned infrastructure locations, representing over 360 chargers which will be operational by March 2026. We will set out further detail on our strategic approach to infrastructure, in due course.
