The move is part of a £318 million plan for green freight, which is backing British businesses by slashing upfront costs on new lorries and helping businesses to access the lower running costs.

This is all part of the Government’s plan to reduce emissions whilst cutting costs, sparking growth and creating jobs as the sector moves to the technology of the future. 

New grant levels mean: 

·        Smaller trucks (4.25t-12t) could save up to £20,000  

·        Mid-sized trucks (12t-18t) up to £60,000 

·        Larger trucks (18t-26t) up to £80,000 

·        And the largest lorries (26t+) up to £120,000
