Zero Emission HGV and Infrastructure Demonstrators (ZEHID) Programme Cohort Event
Join Innovate UK and DfT on 3rd September 2025 for the Zero Emission HGV and Infrastructure Demonstrators programme cohort event.
About this event
This event is part of a series of events delivered by the Department for Transport and Innovate UK’s Zero Emission HGV and Infrastructure Demonstrations, circa £200m programme deploying hundreds of zero emission HGVs and infrastructure to support non-zero emission truck phase out by 2035/40.
Why attend?
The cohort event will include:
- Updates from all four projects
- Networking and collaboration opportunities
- A focus on infrastructure sharing
- Opportunities to ride on some ZEHID trucks
Who should attend?
All project participants are expected to attend.
There will be a number of spaces made available for organisations who are not part of ZEHID. Demand for these places is expected to be high so they will be allocated via an Expression of Interest (EOI) process. Please register below. We are particularly keen to receive applications from:
- Hauliers and operators
- Infrastructure providers
- DNOs
- OEMs
- Technology providers (digital and hardware)
- Financiers
- Public sector stakeholders
Please note the expression of interest form will close 18th August 2025 and you will receive email notification on 26th August.
