Insightful discussion on the impact of the energy crisis on the transition to net zero in public transport, with several challenges and opportunities ahead. Ongoing ZE bus supply chain constraints and increasing grid congestion clear hurdles in keeping the transition pace at the moment. #PublicTransport #EnergyTransition

It will be very interesting to see how the panel discussion mentions Hydrogen ICE trucks for heavy haulage (which most OEMs have now committed to manufacturing, and many are!) and green hydrogen liquid wholesale fuel production (scheduled for Q1 2027) if not earlier, play an important part in the transport decarbonisation. From my experience many people have a base level knowledge, yet are not close enough to what the actual commercial model is, how progressed production facilities are and how same model is already successful overseas. Hoping there is an opportunity for Q&A!

San Bernardino County is making history with the arrival of North America's first hybrid hydrogen-battery train, the Zero Emission Multiple Unit (ZEMU). This groundbreaking train, which only emits water vapor, marks a significant step towards sustainable, zero-emission passenger rail. Developed over a decade of strategic planning by the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA) and built by Stadler in Switzerland, ZEMU represents a revolutionary leap in clean transportation technology. Slated to begin service this fall between San Bernardino and Redlands, ZEMU will enhance the regional transportation ecosystem while addressing air quality challenges. The commitment to innovative, eco-friendly solutions positions San Bernardino County as a leader in sustainable transit. #RailInnovation #ZeroEmission #SanBernardinoCounty #HydrogenTechnology

Arriving for the #ClimateWeekNYC today for critical conversations about the future of the Heavy Freight sector and our path to Zero Emission Vehicles (ZEV). 🚛🔋 It's not just an industry challenge—it's a call to action for us all to align with the Paris Agreement and build a sustainable, future-proof transport system. As I prepare for this discussion, I want to highlight 3 urgent asks to policymakers, fellow industry players, and our value chain partners: 1️⃣ Accelerate Charging Infrastructure Development: The "chicken-and-egg" problem is real. We need immediate investment in pan-regional, high-performance charging networks to support the growing fleet of electric trucks. Public-private partnerships are key to overcoming this bottleneck and fostering widespread adoption of ZEVs. 2️⃣ Commit to Radical Transparency and Accountability: To meet our climate targets, we must lead with full transparency—sharing both our successes and the gaps that still exist. Together, let’s drive more aggressive, science-based climate action by holding each other accountable through data-driven progress reports. 3️⃣ Close the Innovation and Scale Gap: No single company or entity can drive this transformation alone. We need deeper collaboration across sectors—energy, manufacturing, and policy—to support systemic changes that scale up grid investments, battery technology, and renewable energy capacity. The future of heavy freight is electric, and the time to act is now. Let’s transform together, with urgency and purpose. #Sustainability #ParisAgreement #ZeroEmissions #ElectricVehicles #ClimateLeadership #HeavyFreight TRATON GROUP

California's first #hydrogenpowered passenger train, manufactured by Stadler and powered by #fuelcells from Platinum Member Ballard Power Systems, offers a promising solution to the state's air quality challenges. This #zeroemission train, which began service to San Bernardino County in June, is part of a broader push to reduce transportation emissions. The train's adoption highlights #hydrogen's potential in decarbonizing #publictransport and #rail, providing a cleaner alternative to diesel-powered trains and paving the way for more #sustainable transit options across the state. Benefits include:   ➡️ Zero-emissions on non-electrified lines   ➡️ 18+ hours of operation and quick refueling   ➡️ Reduced noise and vibration for a smoother ride   ➡️ Lower maintenance and downtime Read more: https://lnkd.in/dNJYTpae

The ZEV TOUR - Clean Fleet Experience event in Sacramento, was such a great event, we had the chance to meet Hundreds of Fleet Operators, hear about the latest in California ACF regulations, Electric and Hydrogen Vehicles, Infrastructure and Energy Solutions, and the numerous opportunities available to fund with Incentives and Grants. ZeroMission is proud to be a #ZEVTour Sponsor and looks forward to upcoming events throughout California. If you were at this event or didn't get a chance to attend why not reached out to me to see how ZeroMission can help your business Kevin Christopher E: kevin.christopher@zeromission.io W: www.zeromission.io #zevtours #electricbuses #electricvans #electrictrucks #fleets #fleetmanagers #fleetoperators #evcharging #renewablefuels #zeroemissions #altfuelvehicles #rng #microgrids #offgridcharging #mobilecharging #fleetmanagement #zeromission #evsmarttools #evvehicleefficiency #europeanelectricvehicles #fleetmanagementsystem #fleetadvisory #emobility #evinnovativesolutions #fleets #fleetmanagers #logistics #supplychain #distributioncenters #lastmile #zeroemission #drayage #semitrucks #electrictrucks #hydrogentrucks #incentives #grants #evcharging #microgrids #infrastructure #utlility #autonomous

“Today’s announcement by the EPA is a keystone element of a comprehensive suite of federal and state policies which will spur generational investments in heavy-duty electrification, creating good American jobs while accelerating us into an electric future. However, there is much more work to be done at the state and local level to accelerate truck electrification, including efforts like Advanced Clean Trucks and expanding charging infrastructure for heavy-duty vehicles.” —Ben Prochazka, executive director of the Electrification Coalition #StopBurningStuff

Will the metals energy transition be better and cleaner than previous energy industries?  🤔 In Episode 1 of #EuropeOnTheMove video-series, Julia Poliscanova (she/her) walks us through the opportunities but also the costs that the electric mobility transition will bring to Europe. How can the EU ensure this transition is done in a truly just and fair way? ⚡ Julia Poliscanova is Senior Director of Vehicles and E-mobility at Transport & Environment (T&E). About #EuropeOnTheMove: #SustainableMobility has become a buzzword. But its opportunities and challenges are complex and evolving. What modes of transport are truly sustainable? What implications does sustainable mobility hold for the different regions, sectors and actors of society, particularly in the South of Europe, a key region in the EU's #decarbonisation plans. GEF has asked experts and activists working on a myriad of topics, from #Cycling to #ElectricVehicles, from energy system transitions to critical minerals mining, and from metropolitan to ultra-peripheric regions, about their views on how the #GreenDeal should ensure a just mobility transition for all. #EuropeOnTheMove is a video-series produced by the Green European Foundation with the support of the Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung European Union, Brussels. #JustTransition #ElectricVehicles #EV #RawMaterials #GreenDeal #SustainableMobility  https://lnkd.in/dcCcPwmY

https://lnkd.in/eE5zBH9V Brilliant! Here on the home comfort side of liquid fuels we promote "an all of the above, not an either or" approach when it comes to decarbonization. No matter the market, transportation, marine, rail, heating or sustainable aviation fuel we're here to stay. #cleanfuels #bioheat #renewablediesel #sustainableaviationfuel
