Not every autonomous vehicle needs to hit the motorway. In fact, some of the most successful deployments are small, electric shuttle buses operating in confined environments like ports, airports, and Urban City Circulators

While self-driving vehicles often grab headlines, it’s the infrastructure that determines whether they succeed. From smart intersections to sensor-rich roadways, future mobility depends on foundations many cities have yet to build.

Cities across the UK are changing fast — and so are the ways businesses move goods. As congestion, emissions regulations, and delivery demands grow, cargo bikes have emerged as a practical, low-impact alternative to vans for last-mile transport. But for many operators, the upfront cost of building a cargo bike fleet can be a barrier. That’s where cargo bike fleet finance comes in.  At Avro Finance, we help UK businesses finance e-cargo bikes and related transport assets, supporting a greener, more efficient future for urban logistics.

As self-driving vehicles edge closer to real-world deployment, the UK transport landscape is preparing for a shift. Autonomous public transport is no longer a futuristic concept but a near-term reality. Across the country, pilot schemes for autonomous shuttles and buses are demonstrating real potential to reshape how people move in both urban and rural areas. But while the technology is progressing rapidly, the financing models that underpin these advances must also evolve. 

Across the UK, businesses that depend on transport are facing a critical question: how to reduce their carbon footprint without compromising productivity. Whether you run a travel company, manage a logistics operation, or operate a taxi fleet, the shift toward zero emission fleets is quickly moving from a “nice to have” to a necessity. At Avro Finance, we’re helping businesses of all sizes finance this transition with tailored packages that make adopting electric and low-emission vehicles accessible and affordable.

With fuel costs rising, low-emission zones expanding, and competition increasing across the UK’s private hire sector, fleet owners are under pressure to modernise. But upgrading your vehicles — especially to electric or hybrid models — can be expensive. That’s where tailored taxi fleet finance can make a real difference.  At Avro Finance, we help taxi companies access flexible, affordable finance to grow and futureproof their fleets, no matter their size or credit history.
