The Future of Roads Minister, Lillian Greenwood, has confirmed that the plug-in van grant will be extended for another year.
The plug-in grant means that businesses can obtain grants of up to £2,500 when buying an eligible small van up to 2.5 tonnes and up to £5,000 for an eligible larger van up to 4.25 tonnes.
The grant is made available through the dealer or manufacturer as a discount on the purchase price when the van is purchased. So, there is no need for each purchaser having to go through a grant application themselves.
The government is also removing the requirement for additional training that is currently required for zero emission vans but not petrol or diesel ones.
Zero emission vehicles also carry some attractive tax advantages. If you are looking at replacing vehicles and would like help to know what the end costs are for you, please get in touch. We would be happy to help you!
