Finding a way to accelerate the uptake of zero emission vehicles
▪ Vans are a growing part of the fleet needing help ▪ The Energy Saving Trust helped us identify the barriers hampering the uptake of electric vans ▪ Aid Intensity Threshold prevents us using additional top-up grants ▪ Concept of ‘try before you buy’ scheme was born.

Why we are confident it will work?
▪ South Yorkshire Police confident to buy 12 Nissan e-NV200 after trial experience
£118,800 whole life cost saving (over 4 years) 296,000kg CO2 saving

for two months
Chargepoint top up grant
- Up to £1,000 in
addition to OLEV funding
Final TCO report
- Quantify the
estimated savings
Customer journey

fleet review and vehicle loan
- Accurate data from real life
use puts benefits into £s
- Quantify environmental
benefits as well

Hopefully more
▪ Highways England exploring with a number of authorities if they are able to collaborate – Targeting urban parts of network where air is not yet clean – Capital funding available (for demonstrator vans, chargers,…) – Seeking resource support to implement – Aim to contract with successful authorities by end March 2020 ▪ Keen to bring forward the purchase (by others) of hundreds of electric vans to contribute to cleaner air and support net zero.
