It was only a matter of time, it had to come. Well done Gridserve! There are already a few hundred fully electric HGV's on Britain's roads, and this now paves the way for more.....

If the UK government weren't in the pocket of Oil and Gas, we'd be listening to Sir Toddington.

Some of the issues we have in the UK. Warehouses and huge buildings rarely have full sets of solar panel on their roof, mainly because the local electricity grid can't accept the power. If Mr Harper and his backers can organise for large scale solar and batteries on some of these huge warehouses, the electricity for these trucks could be 90% green just from site. There is so much opportunity if we could just join all the dots.

Warehouse’s don’t have solar panels as most of the buildings are leased. They are owned by pension funds and investment companies that unless they HAVE to install them they won’t. Retro fitting is an issue but they could do it at the time of construction.

Well done GS. Electric HGV's will make a huge difference to the operators. Operators are so good at planning, delivery to a cost. This will reduce those costs and reduce emissions. Stand behind a diesel one when it starts up.

This is so cool. How do I get involved?

I’m struggling to influence the company I work for to go electric with our fleet of HGV’s. I’ve been heavily invested into electrified transport for over 11 years now. I would love to get involved in this space to help companies with the transition to a more sustainable haulage industry. I have over 16 years experience as a truck driver and I’ve been pushing our company to think of the future in how we could transition from our LNG and CNG fleet into a fully electrified fleet. We have the perfect use case for electrified transport to help encourage other companies make the switch. I’ve been running a large EV community in the North West of England since 2017 and I’m so passionate about the future of a electrified transport system. I fully understand the pros and cons that the industry has to face, from the charging infrastructure that needs to be implemented to the efficiency the drivers could get out of their vehicles with some extensive driver training on driver style. I currently train all our new recruits at the company I work for now. I just need to find a way to be part of this amazing transport system the UK could showcase to the world.

The Government are currently asking HGV Drivers to return to the job, be it Class 2 or Çlass 1 C+E, which I have a licence & CPC for, yet I cannot return to the role, because I have no recent experience on my tacho card, employers are asking for 6 or 12 months history or they're not interested? Other than a recent driving assessment, which I paid for myself in August, £396.00 wasted ! Please inform the government of this because this stops drivers from returning to HGV driving, even when, like me, they may have driven whilst in HM Forces, driven after leaving or even passed & driven a North American rig delivering goods in & around Canada & USA Ps, you're doing great work, I often charge my car at Gridserve Charging Stations 👍
