The Government confirmed yesterday (31 March) that the Plug-in Truck Grant will continue at current grant levels and annual limits per end customer into the 2025/26 financial year.
Small trucks (between 4.25-12 tonnes) can receive up to £16,000 and large trucks (over 12 tonnes) up to £25,000 off the price of an eligible vehicle.
250 Small truck grants will be available to industry (limited to 10 per end customer) with 100 Large truck grants also provided (limited to 5 per end customer)
All Plug-in Vehicle Grants will remain under review.
To both reduce the physical testing burden on industry and to improve access to the Plug in Truck Grant, type-approval ‘VECTO’ simulations (in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2017/2400) are now accepted forms of evidence to demonstrate a vehicle’s zero emission electric range performance.
The guidance on the GOV.UK website will be updated to reflect this announcement in due course. Questions on the technical requirements for the Plug in Truck Grant, should be directed to [email protected].
