About the event

Join the Zero Emission HGV and Infrastructure Demonstrator (ZEHID) programme for a day bringing together industry, government and the wider zero-emission freight community to share progress, practical experience and evidence from the programme. Networking will be a key part of the day, with opportunities to meet peers, exchange ideas and explore potential collaborations across the sector.

ZEHID is funded by the Department of Transport and delivered in partnership with Innovate UK.

The day will showcase data and learning from across the demonstrators, with a particular focus on the practical realities of deploying and operating zero-emission HGVs and the infrastructure required to support them.

What to expect

The ZEHID Summit will provide an opportunity to:

• hear the latest progress, evidence and learning from the ZEHID demonstrator programme
• gain practical insights into the deployment and operation of zero-emission HGVs and supporting infrastructure
• explore the challenges, barriers and misconceptions affecting adoption, using real-world experience and data
• hear perspectives from fleet operators, infrastructure providers, vehicle manufacturers, policymakers and the wider supply chain
• network with peers and potential partners across the zero-emission freight ecosystem, sharing practical experience and explore opportunities for collaboration
• explore how the evidence and learning from ZEHID can support the wider adoption and scaling of zero-emission freight across the UK

Who should attend?

The ZEHID Summit is aimed at organisations involved in, or considering, the transition to zero-emission road freight, including fleet and logistics operators, vehicle manufacturers, charging and refuelling infrastructure providers, technology and energy companies, policymakers, local authorities and the wider transport supply chain.

Whether you are already deploying zero-emission HGVs or looking to understand what the transition could mean for your organisation, the ZEHID Summit will provide an opportunity to hear directly from those delivering projects in practice and to ask questions.You can also connect with others facing similar challenges, share ideas and build relationships that could support your next steps towards zero-emission freight.
