Save up to £120k on electric trucks with an increase to the Plug-in Truck Grant
Fleet operators can access discounts of up to £120,000 on new electric trucks thanks to an additional £18 million announced by the Government on 6 January to increase the Plug-in Truck Grant until March 2026.

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
