Transport & Mobility grants

DfT and Innovate UK funding for clean, connected and autonomous transport

Transport funding rewards projects that solve a real system-level problem, not just a vehicle-level improvement. Decarbonisation, safety, congestion, freight efficiency and integration with public infrastructure are all fundable themes, but the proposal must show how the technology fits into existing networks and supply chains.
