ECTA - European Clean Trucking Alliance’s Post

The fuel saving potential in Heavy Duty vehicles are up to 43% according to this study from International Council on Clean Transportation. In fact the reduction potential for EU panel vans, rigid trucks and tractor trailers was estimated in 43.6%, 31.5%, and 33% respectively."

Accelerating the change by bringing demand and supply together is important. But equally important is to do it right. This whitepaper is outlining the current state and path forward for book&claim in Road Logistics. Let’s flick the switch together!

🚚 Flick the switch in road electrification 🚚 I've been in the past in numerous discussions where Book and Claim for Road emerged as a key tool to speed up decarbonization in the road freight industry. To delve deeper into this subject, Kuehne+Nagel has crafted a comprehensive white paper that elucidates the principles of Book and Claim and advocates for its broader acceptance. We also stress the distinction from traditional offsetting practices and how Institutions like GHG Protocol and SBTi have a unique chance to support transport in-time decarbonisation -especially supporting SME carriers- by formalizing Book and Claim. When the world just recorded its hottest year on record in 2023, meaningful change can happen in road transportation with Book and Claim 🌍📈 #Sustainability #Logistics #Decarbonization #RoadFreight #BookAndClaim

Check out our free white paper in which John De Dryver shares his expertise on Book and Claim for #roadlogistics, zooming in on how it can help to accelerate the electrification of trucking.

Alternative heavy vehicle fuel technology faces an uncertain immediate future, so can Australia's nationwide net zero goals be helped by the improvement of road freight efficiency using traditional fuels? The Australian Trucking Association thinks so.

To improve air quality, U$1.5 billion is being directed towards the adoption of zero-emission vehicles for freight transportation. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will receive U$1 billion to replace heavy-duty vehicles, like delivery trucks, and develop charging infrastructure. Of this total, U$400 million will focus on mitigating air and noise pollution. The Department of Transportation will allocate U$400 million to improve air quality for truck drivers, port workers, and neighboring communities, to reduce pollution. The Department of Energy will provide U$72 million for a SuperTruck: Charged program, demonstrating integration between vehicles and grids for cost-effective recharging and greater grid resilience. States like California and Texas will receive funds for port improvements and rapid deployment of electric vehicles (EVs). Companies such as Schneider National and Daimler Truck North America, among others, are investing in electric vehicles and charging infrastructure to comply with emissions laws. The maritime and air transport sectors are also committed to transitioning to green fuels, while railroads are exploring hydrogen-powered locomotives. #SupplyChain #WhiteHouse #ZeroEmission #Sustainability #Logistics #Freight #Digital #CNILINK

🚨 Report Alert! 🚨 Excited to share our latest study on battery electric and hydrogen fuel cell technologies in long-haul trucking across Canada! Regional haul applications for these technologies are growing, and vehicles are becoming increasingly ready for long-haul applications. This progress shows great potential as we continue gathering data and refining these solutions. Both technologies require ongoing infrastructure investments, with opportunities for collaboration between the private sector and utilities / hydrogen distribution companies. Infrastructure initiatives along key corridors will be essential to scaling viable long-haul applications in the near future. #CleanEnergy #SustainableTransport #ElectricVehicles #HydrogenFuelCell #ZeroEmissions #Class8Trucks #ZEV #GreenTech #ClimateAction #Canada

The path to net zero is full of opportunity, especially when it comes to Canada's long-haul freight systems transitioning away from using diesel-powered trucks. We're thrilled to release our study findings on the technology and market readiness of zero emission long haul freight, in collaboration with Mobility Futures Lab and Delphi. Understanding where we are is the key to creating a clear path for transition -- this information will be helpful in identifying ways to decarbonize long-haul trucking through battery electric and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.

🚛 New EPA Emission Standards for Heavy-Duty Trucks - Phase 3 🚛 “Greenhouse Gas Emissions Standards for Heavy-Duty Vehicles – Phase 3,” that sets stronger standards to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from heavy-duty (HD) vehicles beginning in model year (MY) 2027. -US Environmental Protection Agency The trucking industry is committed to achieving zero emissions, but the goals need to be feasible and investment in infrastructure is needed. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently proposed new emission standards for heavy-duty trucks that would require them to cut their greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2050. The proposal is part of the Biden administration's plan to reduce U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030 and reach net-zero emissions by 2050. The trucking industry is one of the largest sources of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States, so reducing its emissions is critical to meeting the Biden administration's climate goals. However, the EPA's proposed standards are ambitious and would require a significant investment in new technology and infrastructure. One of the biggest challenges to achieving zero emissions for heavy-duty trucks is the lack of a nationwide network of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. Currently, there are only a handful of EV charging stations available on long-haul trucking routes, which makes it difficult for truckers to operate EVs without having to make long detours. The EPA's proposed standards would require heavy-duty trucks to be equipped with either battery-electric or hydrogen fuel cell powertrains. However, battery-electric trucks are currently much more expensive than diesel trucks, and hydrogen fuel cell trucks are still in the early stages of development. In order to make zero-emission trucks a reality, the trucking industry needs a significant investment in infrastructure, including EV charging stations and hydrogen fuel production facilities.
