In a major win for sustainable logistics and construction, the UK’s Department for Transport has updated key regulations to allow newly built hydrogen-powered non-road mobile machinery (NRMM) to operate on public roads without needing a special exemption.
This important change paves the way for greater adoption of low- and zero-emission equipment like diggers, mobile cranes, and construction vehicles—helping companies streamline operations across both worksites and supply chain networks. Previously, operators had to secure a Vehicle Special Order (VSO), creating delays and additional costs. Removing this barrier accelerates the transition to greener, more efficient transportation within the supply chain.
Industry leaders have welcomed the move, recognizing it as a critical step toward achieving net-zero operations and enhancing environmental responsibility across logistics and construction sectors. By making it easier to integrate hydrogen-powered machinery into daily operations, the update supports a cleaner, more resilient supply chain for the future.
Updates on the legal rollout will continue to be shared, but momentum toward greener mobility and logistics is clearly growing stronger.
