The first two projects which were funded in the £20 million Low Emission Freight and Logistic Trial earlier this year, are now hitting the roads.
The funding is being given to 20 firms who set out plans for innovative ways to deploy low and zero emission vehicles. The competition is funded by the Office for Low Emission Vehicles and Innovate UK.
The freight industry accounts for approximately 30% of the UK’s CO2 transport emissions, and the money will help fleets get their new lower emission vehicles on the roads.
