The Plug-In Taxi Grant (PITG) was introduced in 2017 to support the early market growth of zero emission capable (ZEC) taxis and has supported the purchase of over 10,000 vehicles of this type.

The grant is funded until at least the end of the current financial year. All grants remain under review to ensure best value for the money for the taxpayer.
