Logistics UK’s response to announcement of Freight Innovation Fund accelerator

Responding to the launch of the latest round of funding available from the Freight Innovation Fund, Logistics UK, Deputy Director Policy, Michelle Gardner says:

“Logistics UK welcomes the launch of the Freight Innovation Fund’s latest cohort of accelerator funding. It presents an exciting opportunity for SMEs to bid for a share of £1.8 million to develop and trial their creative solutions in real-world environments and help solve pressing challenges within the freight sector. 

“The logistics sector is already making great progress on its decarbonisation journey. However, there is still much to be confirmed around the supporting infrastructure to smooth the journey to net-zero, not least a robust and comprehensive refuelling and recharging network, but initiatives such as the Freight Innovation Fund will help ensure that innovation and technology is part of the solution.”
