Niche Vehicle Network

The Niche Vehicle Network (NVN) is a UK-based, government-supported initiative that provides grant funding and support for small and medium-sized enterprises in the niche vehicle sector. It is a free-to-join network that runs collaborative R&D competitions focused on developing and demonstrating zero tailpipe emission vehicle technologies, with an emphasis on vehicle electrification and lightweighting. The network is supported by the Department for Business and Trade, Innovate UK, and the Advanced Propulsion Centre (APC). As of July 2025, its operations will transition from being managed by Cenex to the APC.
