After 20+ years scaling decarbonisation technologies I’ve developed a thick skin. I got used to be on the receiving end of statements such as: “Not in my backyard”, “This is not what Government does” and my all-time favorite: “EVs are small, slow and expensive”. After a while, you learn to keep your head down, stop listening and continue walking. However, every now and then -if you are persistent enough- a glitch in the matrix opens a door, someone listens, and massive progress takes place... Yesterday I visited TGE’s Bungarribee depot in Sydney. This world-class parcel freight facility -the largest in Australia- sorts up to 32,000 packages per hour. The highly automated 80,000 sqm facility is a beacon of hope towards decarbonising everything. Not only their current operations are Net Zero thanks to a massive solar array on the roof, but they are about to decarbonise their truck fleet. Plus, I got to catch up with some amazing people as well. Met old friends and made new ones Heather Bone, Julia Hinwood, Charlotte Twigg. What else could I ask for a Tuesday? TGE is well on track to become a Net Zero logistics supplier which is good news to anyone concerned with Scope 3 emissions. A reporting company’s scope 3 emissions from upstream transportation and distribution include the scope 1 and scope 2 emissions of third-party transportation companies. So, if you are trying to “Unlock your Net Zero Future” please give them a call. PS. Please label your parcels correctly ahead of the silly season, makes a big mess when you don’t!

From roads to seas, electrification has a fundamental role to play in decarbonising the world’s transport sector. In a decade driven by innovation, batteries on ships will continue to rapidly evolve. While the electrification of international cargo shipping is seen as a challenge, we are facing this head on by delivering a global charging network to ensure ports are ready for the future of the shipping industry. Take a look at this fascinating piece by David Brooks at Mewburn Ellis LLP, published in Ship Technology & Ship Technology Global, which dives deep into the battery innovations that are on the horizon for ships. https://lnkd.in/eq8TBY3X
Is the tide turning towards battery-powered ships?

Happy to have moderated a Reuters webinar focused on debunking myths about fleet decarbonisation and addressing concerns surrounding the electrification of road transport. A few key takeaways : ➡ Medium and Heavy Duty Vehicles (MHDVs) are key levers in the decarbonisation of road transport. While a technology mix is often at play within corporate fleets, the mainstream solution emerging is Battery Electric Trucks. They emit 63% less GHG than their diesel counterparts in Europe. ➡Things are moving fast, but the cost burden is falling disproportionately on fleets. Engaging in dialogues between OEMs, shippers and carriers is vital to ensure each actor in the ecosystem plays its role in accelerating the transition. ➡It's (almost) all about infrastructure. Anticipating the costs, dimensioning, and operation planning for charging are paramount to the success of a company's fleet electrification. Charging at depots is a big part of the answer but public infrastructure on the road needs to be further developed with the implementation of #AFIR and boosting innovative industry projects like Milence ! ➡ Corporate leadership, as showcased by Climate Group's #EV100 and #EV100+, is crucial for a successful transition. This, coupled with strategic roadmaps, targeted communications plans and training for drivers, is the winning combination. Find out more here: https://lnkd.in/gW5fy5sH Thank you Bekki Mistri and Thom Marx for the invitation, and to our great speakers for sharing their expertise and insights – Himanshu Raj from Ingka Group, Joseph Hurst from Nestlé and Tim Campbell from Campbell EV Consulting !

Here’s some good news for your morning coffee ritual: Truckers love driving electric trucks. Drayage (port trucking) operators love it when big shippers (think fortune 100 companies with lots of goods) pick them because electric trucking helps the companies meet their net zero targets. These same operators love Forum Mobility because they can switch over to electric, meet the state mandates, and do it all cost effectively. Win-win-win.
Forum Mobility makes the transition to zero emission trucks easy. But don’t just take our word for it. Hear it from our customer, Hight Logistics, Inc.: https://lnkd.in/eeZTWr8n Hight Logistics is launching a dedicated zero emission company, Hight Electric, and ordering additional electric trucks. BCOs are specifically seeking out zero emission freight services. Not a lot of drayage companies are growing right now, but Hight Electric is. Forum can make your transition to zero emission a one-stop shop. At our depots, we offer either charging only, or charging plus a truck together, for one monthly fee. We have decades of experience building electric infrastructure and dedicated on-site staff to deal with any charging issues that come up. We take on the challenges and costs of installing and operating the charging infrastructure, leaving you free to focus on your customers and your businesses. California Air Resources Board incentives for trucks and charging are still available, and we can help you navigate all the paperwork for up to $288,000 per truck. The future comes at you fast, and as any good driver knows, planning ahead is the best way of avoiding an accident. We would like to earn your business as we navigate to a zero-emission future together – we are taking reservations at depots in both NorCal and SoCal right now. Reach out to Robert Kelly and Ron A Hunt and they will get you set up your with electric truck solutions PS: Many thanks to the Port of Long Beach for the video footage inside the port. We appreciate the collaboration.

🚗 Early Stages of Fleet Electrification: A global shift from internal combustion engine vehicles to battery electric vehicles is key to reducing the transport industry's 25% carbon emissions contribution. While governments focus on public transport electrification, the real impact lies in accelerating the transition for private commercial fleets. Organizations recognize the strategic importance, but our research shows most fleets are in early stages or haven't started. Progress is notable in North America, but there's a significant journey ahead for fleets globally. ⚡🌍 https://lnkd.in/dC7B59Yk #charginginfrastructure #fleet #Mobilize 🚗♻️🔋 #PowerNewMobilities #MobilizePowerSolutions

Electric heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) are to be trialled across the UK in a new research programme to help freight operators decarbonise their fleets. Participating fleet operators, shippers and truck OEMs will develop a clear understanding of how electric vehicles and charging infrastructure can be deployed most effectively to do all of today’s logistics tasks and serve their business needs. They will share the costs of running the trial and share their learning experiences in a pre-competitive environment. Project JOLT (Joint Operator Logistics Trial), led by The Centre for Sustainable Road Freight (SRF), currently involves 10 logistics partners , both large corporates and family-run businesses, including John Lewis Partnership and Welch’s Transport. It also involves a number of truck OEMs, including Volvo and DAF, as well as Flexible Power Systems (FPS), Evyve and PragmaCharge, who are leading companies in vehicle charging and electric truck operations. See press release here: https://lnkd.in/ginXSmux The trial is open to further HGV operators who would like to become involved. They can participate either by running a shared set of battery electric vehicles and fast chargers, supplied by the project team; or by sharing data from their own electric vehicles. The learning from their part of the trial will be merged with information from all the other fleets, to build a comprehensive understanding of electrified road logistics. Organisations interested in joining Project JOLT should email SRF on vl270@cam.ac.uk or call Guy Grange at FPS on 01342 360240.
