Next week the European Parliament will vote on the CO2 standards for 🚚&🚌. There's been a big push to include the role of alternative fuels, just like we saw in the car and van standards last year. I wrote in Euractiv explaining why this would be such a bad idea euractiv.com/section/road-t…

Curbing CO2 emissions from #trucks will depend on the economic performance of the technologies and #fuel options in the market. 🚚💨 🚨Our new study compares the total cost of ownership of various truck pathways to cut emissions in Europe. A🧵to explore our 3⃣ key findings.👇

The European Parliament has just voted on the CO2 standards for 🚛&🚌 in the EU. It now means that trucks will emit: ⬇️ 45% less CO2 in 2030 ⬇️ 65% less CO2 in 2035 ⬇️ 90% less CO2 in 2040 It also increases the scope to cover more vehicles, like refuse trucks and light trucks.

The zero-emission market for trucks and buses in Europe is evolving rapidly. To keep pace, we've started to publish a more regular market monitor, every quarter We've just published data from Q1 of 2023, with Q2 and Q3 to soon follow theicct.org/publication/eu…

I discussed the mirage of guilt-free flying with BBC Future: "Even if SAF does replace an increasing proportion of fossil fuels for aviation purposes, the overall benefit could be wiped out by the rapidly growing airline industry" bbc.com/future/article… The ICCT UCC Ireland

Are real-world #CO2 emissions of new European cars converging or diverging with official values under the WLTP test procedure?🚗🚐💨 Fuel consumption data reported by consumers shows real-world emissions were 8% higher than official values in 2018 and 14% higher in 2022. 🧵👇

🚛🚨 Germany will vote IN FAVOUR of the EU's CO2 standards for trucks, a government source told Euractiv, which comes under the condition that a new category of vehicles for trucks running exclusively on e-fuels will be created. Vote today at 14:30, says an EU diplomat.

🚛 Today, Ambassadors confirmed a provisional agreement on lowering CO2 emissions from trucks, buses and trailers, the so-called heavy-duty vehicles (#HDVs). Its aim is to further reduce CO2 emissions in the road transport sector & to introduce new targets for 2030, 2035 & 2040.

The demand for zero-emission #trucks and #buses is shifting market dynamics in Europe. 🚚🚌 EU-based manufacturers have dominated the market from 2013 to 2023, but new players have entered the market in recent years. All details in our market monitor: theicct.org/publication/ra…

A broad coalition of transport companies, shippers, and industry stakeholders are calling EU policy makers to adopt revised CO2 standards for trucks. On 10 April, MEPs will vote on the new regulation. Find out why they should vote in favour 👇
