R&D Funding for Hydrogen Fuel Cell Heavy Goods Vehicles (UK)

Grants of between £20 million and £90 million are available to UK businesses and research organisations for research and development projects to demonstrate hydrogen fuel cell trucks.

The ‘Zero Emission Road Freight Hydrogen Fuel Cell Truck Demonstration’, part of the Department for Transport’s Zero Emission Road Freight Demonstration programme, will help kick-start the deployment of long haul zero emission heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) by funding multi-year on-road demonstrations of hydrogen fuel cell HGVs.

The demonstration will collect data to inform future policy decisions and infrastructure choices.

Projects must enable a demonstration of at least 25 trucks split between at least 2 operators and supported by at least 2 hydrogen refuelling locations.

The competition is open to collaborations only until 11am on the 12th October 2022.
