Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 2 November 2026 to Question 38365, whether her Department plans to assess the potential impact of industrial and commercial electricity prices on the financial viability of transitioning heavy goods vehicle fleets from diesel to electric power.

The assumptions underpinning the total cost of ownership analysis for zero emission heavy goods vehicles are kept under review as evidence emerges. This includes future energy prices, as appropriate for the various users. Further details will be published alongside the next consultation on the HGV CO2 emissions regulatory framework.
