Fleets asked for views on decarbonising vans and trucks

The Road Haulage Association (RHA) has launched an industry wide survey on net zero. 

The new survey seeks input from across the road transport sector and will be open until April. It will help to inform the association's work with Government and other stakeholders involved in delivering HGV, coach and van decarbonisation.

Commenting, RHA Managing Director Richard Smith said: "We’ve been clear that by reducing the costs of decarbonisation and ensuring the required infrastructure is in place, our sector can prepare, and fully play its part.

"We’re launching an industry wide Net Zero survey and we’re asking operators for their views on decarbonising HGV, coach, and van fleets. The survey is a crucial opportunity for businesses to have their say on the way ahead, and the insights from it will help us best define what our sectors need on the road to net zero.

"The results will help us to better highlight how ready operators are to bring alternatively fuelled vehicles (battery electric, hydrogen fuel cell, or low carbon fuel) into their fleets. We want as much feedback from across the road transport sector as possible. This survey will also help to inform our work with Government and other stakeholders involved in delivering HGV, coach, and van decarbonisation."
