HGV Market Resilience Fund open!

Recently announced Green fleet funding available to haulage firms

Haulage companies are being encouraged to take advantage of funding to switch to low-emission vehicles.

The HGV Market Resilience Fund aims to accelerate the decarbonisation of heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) throughout Scotland.

The HGV Market Readiness Fund, launched earlier this month, will provide £2 million in support to the HGV sector over the next year. The initiative is designed to ease the transition to zero-emission vehicles, helping reduce road freight emissions while supporting economic growth through sustainable investment in transport infrastructure.

There are two strands to the funding. The first is the Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) Fleet Analysis Support (£1 million), aimed at helping small and micro-HGV fleet operators understand their decarbonisation options and develop clear transition pathways.

The second funding strand is the HGV Consortium Builder (£1 million), which is designed to foster collaboration between operators, manufacturers, financiers, and charge point providers to build a strong business case for investing in zero-emission HGVs and related infrastructure.

Scottish Government is particularly keen to ensure that haulage companies across rural and island Scotland, especially SMEs, are aware of and can benefit from this support.
