The UK is leading the world by developing cutting edge technology that will help to tackle climate change and lead to a green, competitive future for our automotive supply chain.
This £54 million investment will be targeted as innovative green projects across England, Wales and Northern Ireland - helping to secure nearly 10, 000 jobs and while saving 45 million tonnes of CO2. This announcement builds on the recent launch of our national Bus Back Better strategy and the Prime Minister's 10 Point Plan for a Green Industrial Revolution, both of which will help us shift to zero emission vehicles and decarbonise the UK's transport networks.
These projects will not only help accelerate the wider application of greener technology in lorries and buses, but will also help generate the high-skilled jobs to level up communities across the UK, while ensuring we build back greener from the pandemic.
