Accelerate Europe’s Road Freight Decarbonisation
Despite constituting 2% of road fleets, heavy-duty vehicles contribute over ¼ of climate emissions in European road transport. The European Commission’s proposed CO2 emission standards to combat this:
- Crucial deadline as early as 2030
- Incremental targets leading to climate neutrality by 2050
Aligned with customer’s net-zero targets for Scope 3 emissions by 2050, the transition to sustainable fleets is inevitable for the European heavy transport industry.
With financial incentives, a lower total cost of ownership, and improved technology, switching to sustainable vehicles offers scalable benefits. Those making the switch now will not only meet European standards but will actively spearhead a greener tomorrow whilst enhancing profitability.
“The road transport industry has evolved in recent years as we’ve seen a shift in customer needs and priorities, and I’m excited to see how we can continue to evolve our business and the industry to meet those needs. Further investment in sustainable technologies, alongside increased digitalization and advancements in data, are going to be crucial to supporting further growth and successes.” Alastair Shooter, Vice President, Global Head of Transport, DHL Supply Chain
“I am looking forward to the event where we can exchange and learn how to jointly accelerate the decarbonisation journey” – Christoph Wolff, CEO, Smart Freight Centre
