Abstract

The transport sector is a key focus for achieving the UK’s net-zero ambitions, yet small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in this sector face significant challenges. Our study, “Navigating the Road to Net Zero: Challenges for the English SMEs in the Transport Sector,” reveals that financial, regulatory, and time barriers often inhibit these businesses from adopting low‐carbon technologies and practices. This white paper translates our research into practical insights for businesses and innovators keen to drive clean growth through sustainable practices.
