The disclosed round sizes show a clear concentration with one major outlier: Arrival closed a $400M round on 2020-11-18, far above the rest of the listed transportation companies, where disclosed amounts largely sit under $60M (for example, Sherbet Electric Taxis at $54M on 2025-09-14 and HIVED at $42M on 2025-07-03). On stage labeling, the data is mixed: 11 of 30 rows carry “Series Unknown” and 3 of 30 list “undisclosed” amounts, so disclosed deal size comparisons often have to contend with missing structure.
Temporal and geographic patterns are also visible. The most recent window runs from 2025-12-02 (4PL Solutions) back through 2020-11-18 (Arrival), and the latest 6 entries all fall between 2025-07-03 and 2025-12-02, suggesting clustered activity near mid-to-late 2025. London dominates the locations, appearing repeatedly across multiple funding dates (e.g., Sherbet Electric Taxis on 2025-09-14, HIVED on 2025-07-03, Ameba on 2024-10-02, and Zapp Electric Vehicles / Packfleet on 2024-03-25 and 2024-03-11).

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round in this UK transportation set, and how extreme is it versus the rest?
Arrival’s $400M round on 2020-11-18 is the only disclosed amount in the hundreds of millions, dwarfing the next-largest disclosed rounds such as Sherbet Electric Taxis at $54M (2025-09-14) and HIVED at $42M (2025-07-03). Most other disclosed rounds shown cluster well below those levels, frequently in the $1M–$10M range (e.g., Smart Green Shipping at $1M on 2024-10-22, Zedify at $5M on 2024-07-02).
Are there notable date clusters among the most recent rounds?
Yes. The last 6 rows are tightly grouped between 2025-07-03 (HIVED, $42M) and 2025-12-02 (4PL Solutions, $5M). Outside that, disclosed financing appears less concentrated in immediate succession, with earlier points like Zapp Electric Vehicles ($10M on 2024-03-25) and Packfleet ($10M on 2024-03-11) creating local peaks in March 2024.
Does any city appear more often than others?
London is the clearest hub: multiple rows list London, England, UK (e.g., HIVED $42M on 2025-07-03; Ameba $7M on 2024-10-02; Zapp Electric Vehicles $10M on 2024-03-25; Packfleet $10M on 2024-03-11; One Moto $40M on 2023-07-16). Other cities appear once or twice at most (e.g., Cambridge shows SuperSharp $7M on 2024-07-22 and Zedify $5M on 2024-07-02).
What does the stage and disclosure mix look like for analysis and deal-size comparisons?
Stage labeling is incomplete and amounts are sometimes missing. “Series Unknown” appears in 11 of 30 rows (e.g., Smart Green Shipping on 2024-10-22 and KleanDrive on 2024-09-24), while “undisclosed” amounts appear in 3 of 30 rows (e.g., Diamond Logistics on 2024-10-09; Angel Trains on 2024-03-26). This means ranking by amount is reliable only for the rows with numeric disclosed figures (e.g., Arrival $400M and OX Delivers $21M on 2022-06-17).
Which entries are worth calling out as unusually small or missing amounts?
The smallest disclosed amount is $0K for SLANT Sustainable Technologies on 2024-05-10. Several other deals also lack a numeric disclosed value, including Diamond Logistics (undisclosed on 2024-10-09), Angel Trains (undisclosed on 2024-03-26), Rapid Repair Network (undisclosed on 2024-02-20), and others; these are outliers in terms of comparability rather than magnitude.
