The UK Department for Transport opened a £38 million funding round on November 11 for charging equipment at depots used by zero-emission heavy goods vehicles, vans and coaches. Applications close at midday UK time on February 26, 2027, the government’s grant listing says.

The scheme will cover 60% of eligible charging equipment and civil works costs, up to £1 million per organisation across its sites. An organisation can include multiple sites in a single application.

The department aims to conclude award decisions by May 28, 2027. Successful projects must complete work by March 31, 2028.
