Extended support for plug-in van and truck incentives by UK government continues until 2027.

The UK government has announced an extension of the Plug-in Van and Truck Grant, providing certainty for fleet operators to plan their electric vehicle (EV) purchases. The grant, which offers discounts for drivers switching to EVs, will last until at least 2027.

The extension of the grants is aimed at backing industries that keep the economy moving, driving new investment in electric vehicles and helping businesses cut costs and expand. The discount for small vans is up to £2,500, while the discount for large vans is up to £5,000. The discount for large trucks is up to £25,000, and for small trucks, it is up to £16,000.

The UK Minister for the Future of Transport, Lilian Greenwood, announced the extension of the plug-in truck and commercial vehicle subsidy, stating that it is a decisive step towards powering Britain's transition to cleaner transport. Every electric vehicle on UK roads contributes to healthier communities and presents new economic opportunities across the country.

The UK Department for Transport, which has a £650m Electric Car Grant scheme, recognizes achievements and innovations in EV charging infrastructure at the fourth annual CiTTi Awards. This unmissable event for the UK's transportation sector will take place on 25 November 2025 at De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms in London.

The CiTTi Awards is more than just an award ceremony. It's an opportunity for the transportation sector to come together, celebrate successes, and look towards the future. It's a testament to the UK's commitment to a cleaner, greener, and more sustainable transportation system.
