eFreight 2030: Demonstrating the transition to electric HGVs

This ‘eFreight 2030’ project was funded under the Zero Emission HGV & Infrastructure Demonstrator Programme, which is funded by UK Government and delivered in partnership with Innovate UK. The project will demonstrate how battery-electric HGVs can effectively replace conventional HGVs at scale on the UK road network, using a number of UK-built technologies to provide a true alternative vehicle solution that overcomes current hurdles. The project uses next generation electric HGVs from leading manufacturers, coupled with innovative new range-extending trailer technology, and state-of-the-art 1MW charging hubs. Focused on major trunk routes and ports, eFreight 2030 will help enable the upgrade of major charging hub infrastructure to support the wider uptake of electric HGVs in UK industry, as well as providing a data-led approach to the more strategic use of vehicles.
