Future of Roads minister Lillian Greenwood has unveiled plans for a comprehensive network of zero emission HGV infrastructure throughout the UK under the Zero Emissions HGV and Infrastructure Demonstrator Programme (ZEHID). The announcement includes sites in Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, and England, featuring megawatt charging stations and hydrogen projects catering to diverse commercial applications. Key projects like eFREIGHT 2030, Project Electric Freightway, ZENFreight, and HyHAUL are set to benefit from this infrastructure, targeting the deployment of electric and hydrogen-powered HGVs across various industries such as retail, logistics, and transportation. Lillian Greenwood highlighted the significance of early adoption of zero emission HGVs, emphasizing the competitive edge it offers to businesses in the sector. The initiative aims to tackle the substantial carbon footprint of HGVs in the UK, which accounts for a notable portion of domestic transport emissions. By promoting sustainable transport solutions, the UK envisions not only reducing carbon emissions but also driving economic growth and establishing itself as a green energy powerhouse. The collaboration between industry stakeholders, government, and technology providers signals a collective effort towards a greener, more sustainable future in the transportation sector.
