AIRTO member Cenex, in partnership with Energy Saving Trust, has been selected to assist in delivering the UK Government’s new Depot Charging Scheme (DCS). This £30 million investment is expected to support the installation of over 3,000 vans and 200 HGV chargepoints, helping reduce business costs, boost operational efficiency, and accelerate the adoption of zero emission vehicles.
Funded by the Department for Transport (DfT) and administered by the Government Grants Management Service (GGMS), this scheme will provide targeted financial support to assist businesses and local authorities in installing the necessary infrastructure for charging zero emission heavy goods vehicles (HGVs), vans, and coaches.
The consortium’s combined experience of over 50 years in grant administration and transport decarbonisation provides the deep, hands-on knowledge of EVs and electric vehicle infrastructure (EVI) that is essential for the project’s success. The consortium, consisting of Cenex and Energy Saving Trust, aims to complete the overall project by the end of March 2026.
