Europe's commercial vehicle manufacturers have concluded that by 2040 all new trucks sold need to be fossil-free to reach carbon neutrality by 2050. They say that this will only be possible if the right charging/refuelling infrastructure is built and a coherent policy framework is put into place, including comprehensive CO2 pricing to drive the transition.As part of a new cooperation with the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK), the leaders of DAF, Daimler, IVECO, MAN, Scania, Volvo Group and Ford Trucks of Turkey have signed a new joint statement. It says: "Climate change is the most fundamental challenge of our generation, with greenhouse gases from fossil fuels being the main cause of the problem. At the same time, the raging COVID-19 pandemic has put the spotlight on the crucial role road transport and logistics play to ensure that food, medicines and other essential goods are available to those who need them. If road freight transport is to maintain its role in serving society, it must decarbonise quickly. |
