Platooning HGVs will be on major UK roads by the end of 2018, after the government committed £8.1m to trials of the autonomous vehicles.

The government scheme to bring 4,700 HGV drivers over on a temporary three month visa has attracted approximately 200 drivers in total and is now closed to new applicants, according to Home Office migration minister Kevin Foster.

BP has acquired a 28.57% stake in Gasrec, expanding the oil giant’s footprint in renewable gas production and distribution in the UK.
