SME Fleet Analysis Support Scheme - FAQ Sheet

What is the Fleet Analysis Support Scheme?

A funding opportunity from Transport Scotland to help small and micro HGV operators in Scotland understand how to decarbonise their fleets, supporting Scotland’s climate goals and the transition to zero‑emission vehicles under 26 tonnes by 2035.

What do Eligible Fleets Receive?

Up to £15,000 to fund a tailored fleet decarbonisation report, which will look at how to deploy zero emission vehicles in their fleet and how this could be implemented and financed over time to best suit their business and operations. The report will be produced by a data consultant, that will provide expert analysis of:

  • Current fleet operations
  • Suitable zero-emission technologies
  • Infrastructure needs (e.g. depot charging)
  • Financing options (e.g. truck-as-a-service)
  • Transition plans (short, medium, long-term)

Who is eligible to apply?

  • Fleets must operate out of Scotland
  • Fleets must operate 100 or fewer HGV Trucks (vehicles 7 tonnes and above)
  • Operator must have less than 250 employees and turnover of less than £44m or a balance sheet of less than £38m
  • Operator must have a UK bank account and annual accounts

What’s required from Eligible Fleets ?

  1. Engage a data consultant to carry out the report and grant claim
  2. Provide basic company details and confirm eligibility
  3. Work with a data consultant to produce the report by providing them with your telematics data
  4. Receive the completed report and provide a copy to Transport Scotland
