‘Why still no plan for HGVs?’ – Logistics UK slams government over £400m cleaner fuels investment

Renault Trucks expects 10% of all its new vehicle sales to be full electric within three years, with the UK leading the take-up in Europe, and exceeding this figure.

Marshall Fleet Solutions (MFS) said it was investing in a multi-million pound depot in the Midlands, which should be completed early next year.

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.
