Logistics UK and the Zero Emission Van Plan

Friday 17 January 2025

Logistics UK is delighted to be part of the Zero Emission Van Plan, a campaign with BVRLA, REcharge UK, the Association of Fleet Professionals (AFP) and The EV Café which campaigns for regulatory reform and other measures to help operators with the green transition. Since being established, positive meetings have taken place with ministers, backbench MPs and the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV), where the team is actively exploring solutions to some of the problems highlighted by the coalition.  

In October, Sarah Edwards MP led a debate in Parliament to make the case for enhanced support for the transition to electric vans in the logistics sector, highlighting the key points of the Zero Emission Van Plan. Transport Minister Lilian Greenwood acknowledged the challenges and the need for additional measures and, the following day, the Chancellor announced funding for the Plug-in Van Grant for another year from April 2025.
