Heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) in the United Kingdom emitted 19.1 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MtCO₂e) in 2022 – a decrease of 5.4 percent from the previous year. Global events have impacted HGVs emissions in recent decades, such as in 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic caused emissions to fall five percent year-over-year. However, the largest reductions since 1990 were in 2008 and 2009 during the global financial crisis.
