Reuters IMPACT’s Post

This month's #CSDDD vote should hone the minds of Europe's #roadfreight and #logistics industry. Though many will not be directly affected by the legislation's roll out, it will affect their largest customers as leading multinationals increasingly look to clean up their #Scope3 emissions. The transition towards cleaner transport options will be key for operators looking to provide for their customers and claim a share of the new market. So, how can new operators finance the cutting-edge vehicles and how can new ownership models and longer buyer contracts assist? How can we separate the facts from the noise on issues like greeniums, total cost of ownership, residual value and #eHGV range? All of this and more will be in discussion in Amsterdam next September as we bring together the European Commission, Unilever, Mars, Volvo Trucks, DHL, FedEx, Geopost, IRU, CALSTART and many more for Reuters Events Sustainable Road Transport Europe: https://lnkd.in/dGg7gxeW (Don't miss our exclusive sale!)

Major firms back EU truck emissions rules Top firms including DHL Group, Nestlé, IKEA, and others are calling on the European Union to adopt new regulations that would result in a 90% reduction in emissions from new trucks by the year 2040. The European Parliament will vote on the standards, which would impact trucks and coaches weighing more than 7.5 tons, on 10 April. Many of the companies calling for passage of the EU regulation have already committed to more ambitious CO2 reduction targets to transform their own fleets due to the related operational, economic, jobs, climate and competitiveness benefits. The companies note that a strong policy signal from the EU will help rapidly increase the number of zero-emission trucks available on the market, while also bringing down technology costs and vehicle prices, putting their goals within comfortable reach.

Every ton-mile of freight transport comes with a carbon price tag. This might seem like a minute detail, but these numbers are the bedrock of environmental accounting, revealing the true cost of business logistics. Take, for example, a medium-duty truck emitting 0.170 kg of CO2 per ton-mile. While seemingly small, when scaled to the size of global logistics, the impact is colossal. Yet, the rail alternative slashes emissions by nearly eightfold, an eye-opening figure showcasing the power of green logistics. This data isn't just for ledgers and balance sheets. It's a compass guiding companies toward greener practices. By shifting freight from road to rail or investing in cleaner technologies, firms can significantly reduce their carbon footprint while paving the way for a more sustainable future. In the coming years, expect a transformative shift in transportation. Businesses leading the charge will not only contribute to a healthier planet but also to a reshaped economy where sustainability is a cornerstone of value creation. #GreenTech #SustainableBusiness #CarbonFootprint #FutureOfFinance #ESGInnovation #EconomicsinBusinessNewsletter Source: David Jaber Terra.do
