The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero publishes annual statistics on UK territorial greenhouse gas emissions:

Emissions from road transport by vehicle type from 1990 up to 2021 can be found in table 1.2.

Emissions by Standard Industrial Classification (SIC), which include ‘freight transport by road and removal services’ as a category, can be found in the supplementary tables.
