E-cargo bike grant scheme
Dear Energy Saving Trust,
I would like to make a FOI request about the number of applications received for the e-cargo bike scheme, the number of successful application, the number of unsuccessful applications and the beneficiaries of the scheme.
Yours faithfully,
Mrs I. Poulton
To Mrs Poulton,
Thank you for getting in touch.
As Energy Saving Trust is not a public authority, we are not subject to
requests under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. We do however support
public authorities we work with where we hold some information on their
behalf. I can confirm we hold the requested information on behalf of
Department for Transport and they have instructed us to respond on their
behalf.
Could we please clarify which eCargo Bike Grant Fund you are requesting
this information for (19/20 or 21/22) and that this is for the national
side of the scheme (for businesses to apply to)?
Kind regards,
Rachel
Dear ECargoBikeGrant,
Thank you for your response.
I’m interested in the information for both schemes 19/20 and 21/22 and yes, it is indeed for the National scheme (applications from businesses).
Yours sincerely,
Mrs Poulton
To Mrs Poulton,

You also requested the beneficiaries of the scheme and I’m afraid we would
not be able to share this information with you as we do not have the
beneficiaries’ permission to share their data externally.
Kind regards,
Rachel
