UK extends electric truck grant to 2027 with £18M boost, offering up to £120K discounts.

The UK government has added £18 million to the Plug-in Truck Grant for 2025/26, extending the program until March 2026 and offering up to £120,000 in discounts on new electric trucks. This is part of a £318 million green freight initiative to reduce upfront costs and support the shift to zero-emission haulage. The move extends the program’s reach at least until April 2027 and includes a consultation on a regulatory roadmap to phase out new non-zero emission heavy goods vehicles by 2040. While industry leaders welcome the funding, concerns persist over long-term support, charging infrastructure, and stability beyond 2026.
