Introduction

Scotland’s Zero Emission Mobility Industry Advisory Group (ZEM IAG) was convened for four meetings and three themed workshops between December 2019 and November 2021. It identified an agreed vision for Scotland’s automotive industry to:

  • Become a global player in the supply chain for zero emission mobility (hydrogen and battery) for heavy duty and niche vehicles.
  • Become an international centre of expertise for energy and transport integration.
  • Become a global destination for innovation in sustainable and zero emission transport.

The group has included operators, manufacturers and suppliers to the automotive sector in Scotland as well as motor trade organisations, passenger groups and skills organisations.
