Review of low carbon technologies for heavy goods vehicles

The report presents an analysis of a number of HGV technologies with carbon saving potential and evaluates these technologies in terms of CO2 benefits, technology costs, environmental costs arising from production of the technology, safety and other limitations, and the maturity of the technology within the market. The report then provides a summary of which technologies are the most promising in terms of CO2 benefits when all these other factors are taken into consideration.

Any mention of specific manufacturers' products is not intended as an endorsement by the Department. It is for use as an example only.
