Welcome to this issue of GREENFLEET, where we focus on the decarbonisation of commercial vehicles.

 

We cover the latest updates to the zero-emission truck grants and depot charging scheme, and also bring you an update from the Electric Freightway programme, which is putting electric trucks into real-world fleet operations and building the charging infrastructure needed to support them. 

 

Meanwhile, the Faraday Institution explores the findings of its latest report on electrifying HGVs, with a particular focus on advances in battery technology.

 

Elsewhere, we examine how renewable fuels can deliver major carbon savings immediately, and we explore the rise in shared depot charging. In addition, Fraser Crichton from Dundee City Council explains why contract length is a critical factor when installing EV charging infrastructure.

 

I hope you enjoy the issue.
