<p>The Government recognises the role fleets have to play in the transition to zero
emission driving. Public and private fleet operators are able to take advantage of
a range of grant funding schemes for cars, vans and trucks which are provided through
the £1.5 billion the Government committed to support the early market. In November,
the Government pledged a further £2.8 billion package of measures to support industry
and consumers to make the switch to cleaner vehicles. This includes £1.3 billion to
support charging infrastructure over the next four years, targeting £950m support
on rapid chargepoints on motorways and major roads to facilitate long journeys, and
£365m for installing chargepoints in motorists’ homes, at workplaces and on residential
streets. We will consider what additional support might be appropriate to support
fleet operators. The Government is leading by example and has committed to electrify
100% of the central government car fleet by 2030.</p>
