From California to Cork: How Fleets Across Ireland, the UK, and Europe Can Tap into Zero-Emission Incentives with ZeroMission
By Cian Kavanagh, Inside Sales at ZeroMission
Last week, I shared the exciting news that Southern California is rolling out over $650 million in incentives for trucks, buses, EV charging, and cleaner infrastructure. The response was immediate and energizing, I had dozens of fleet operators reach out, eager to understand how funds in. their country could be accessed and how ZeroMission could support them through the process.
It’s a clear reminder: funding is one of the most important catalysts for zero-emission adoption. But this isn’t just happening in the U.S.
Here in Ireland, across the UK, and throughout Europe, there’s a growing network of financial supports designed to help fleets make the shift to electric and low-emission vehicles. And just like we do in California, ZeroMission is helping clients navigate and secure those opportunities.
Ireland offers several incentive schemes through SEAI and other government-led bodies to ease the transition:
EV Grant Scheme for Business
Accelerated Capital Allowance (ACA
Zero/Reduced Tolling
Commercial — Light Commercial Vehicles (N1S)
Commercial — Large Panel Vans (N1L)

In the United Kingdom
