ZEHID insights and UK/US synergies from the 2025 Advanced Clean Technologies Expo event

The Zero Emission HGV & Infrastructure Demonstrator (ZEHID) programme is the UK Government’s leading intervention to support the decarbonisation of heavy duty road freight within the UK. Funded by the Department for Transport and delivered in partnership with Innovate UK, the programme sits alongside other UK government interventions like the Plug in Truck Grant and the phase out dates on non-zero emission HGVs by 2035/2040 in the UK. Part of the programme’s ambitions is to disseminate learnings both nationally and internationally, in order to support the alignment of current/emerging international standards and enable the continuation of cross border freight.
