📌 #Freight transport and #logistics are not sufficiently addressed in the NDCs’ and LTS’ mitigation measures. 📑 Second-generation NDCs focus more on passenger than freight #transport (split of 5:1), a decline compared to the first generation of NDCs (4:1). Yet, it is not possible to attribute to either passenger or freight transport two thirds of the transport actions that are featured across #NDCs and #LTS. 🔖 Read the analysis by SLOCAT produced in cooperation with Kuehne Climate Center and learn more➡️ https://shorturl.at/C1pLf

🚚 🚝 ⛴ #Combined #Transport: Shifting #freight #transport from the roads to #rail, inland waterways or the sea will reduce its negative effects - #CO2 and #air #pollutant #emissions, #accidents, #noise and #traffic #congestion (“external costs”). Therefore, #CombinedTransport (CT) by rail or ship plus short distances by truck is becoming increasingly important in terms of supply chains and #sustainability. By revising the CT Directive 92/106/EEC, the #EuropeanCommission wants to increase the #competitiveness of #combined #transport compared to #road freight transport. However, our analysis of the Commission's proposal COM(2023) 702 for amending the CT Directive shows that there is still room for improvement. ➡ Centrum für Europäische Politik: https://lnkd.in/ea7FHz5J

Policy intervention and commercial pressures have helped push decarbonisation to the top of the shipping industry agenda. Writing in The Loadstar, HFW shipping decarbonisation expert Alessio Sbraga and Trainee Violet O. explain that making decarbonisation a realistic target requires an understanding of both the scope and scale of the change required, and an acceptance that at least part of the cost of the transition is likely to be passed down the physical transport chain to the end consumer. You can read their article here: https://lnkd.in/e6x5hqMU To discuss these issues, please speak to Alessio or your usual HFW contact. #Shipping #ShippingIndustry #Decarbonisation #SustainableMaritimeFuels #EUETS #FuelEU

We're conducting a survey with Department for Transport (DfT), United Kingdom to gain insights into the impact fuel and cost-saving measures implemented by operators in the #RoadFreight sector have had on fuel consumption and emissions.

Are you in the road freight sector? I know we are all suffering from survey fatigue 😴 but we really do need to learn more on how we can help you. #roadfreight #netzero

Today the EPA issued more rule making that does not align with the achievable limits of technology and does not take in too account the over 1 trillion of infrastructure spend required on top of the cost of the trucks. No where has the effect on consumer costs been looked at. More regulation vs working with the industry on smart logical goals.
The EPA released its heavy duty truck GHG Phase 3 final rule this morning. The timelines in the rule are not attainable for large segments of the HD commercial vehicle industry. Our press release summarizes the basis for our opposition to the rule. The CFC will continue to advocate for sound policies that promote a sustainable and affordable transition to ZE trucks/buses that protect the nation’s supply chain. This rule does none of that. https://lnkd.in/eDyXGX5N

Latest on International Trade Magazine: DP WORLD's Incentive to Switch from Road - Rail DP World, a provider of global end-to-end supply chain solutions, is increasing its financial incentive by almost 50 per cent for customers taking advantage of its ‘Modal Shift Programme’. The scheme was introduced in September last year and is designed to increase the attractiveness of intermodal rail for customers through carefully considered financial incentives. The Modal Shift Programme, which is being trialled at DP World Southampton for 12 months, initially offered £70 to customers who move import-laden containers via rail to a railhead within 140 miles of the Southampton logistics hub. The programme has the potential to prevent an estimated 30,000 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide being emitted per year, more than three times the total emissions of DP World’s logistics hub at Southampton. With January’s incentive increase, DP World is encouraging supply chain partners to explore, trial and transition to rail as a lower carbon alternative for their UK supply chains. Early indications show that up to 4,000 tonnes of CO₂ have been mitigated so far through the increase in rail usage. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/esr35GkS #Freight #SupplyChain #Logistic...

End-to-End Supply Chain Management | Integrated Business Planning | Project Management | 25+ years of cross-cultural and cross-functional leadership experience
The series of ship attacks by Houthi rebels in the Red Sea could curtail global shipping capacity by 20% in a fresh blow to supply chains that could reignite inflationary pressures. To add on that…the extended time spent on the water for vessels which are rerouting around the southern tip of Africa not only absorbs fleet capacity, but will also lead to heightened carbon emissions. This could be challenging for ship owners because, starting January 1st 2024, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) will require all ships to meet the new Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) requirements. This system is designed to evaluate ships’ carbon emissions and apply corresponding financial rewards or penalties. To adhere to these standards, numerous vessels are planning to operate at reduced speeds. However, the longer journey necessitated by rerouting around Africa might compel ships to increase their speed to compensate for delays, potentially contravening emission targets. Additionally, a 2020 mandate from the IMO stipulates the use of very-low-sulfur fuels (VLSFO) or the installation of emission scrubbers on ships. This regulation restricts fuel choices for vessels that haven’t invested in scrubbers and limiting the options for ships trying to refuel in overwhelmed ports. As of now, there’s no official statement from the IMO or other regulatory authorities regarding any potential suspension or modification of these carbon-related mandates in light of the new routing challenges. #supplychaindisruptions #carbonemissions #globaleconomy

Today is Earth Day, a great day to remember that rail is the most sustainable way to move goods long distances over land. Though modern rail transportation is sustainable by nature, one of the many technologies working to continue to improve BNSF's sustainability drive even more is our fleet of Tier 4 locomotives. These locomotives are designed to meet rigorous emissions standards. They bring improved fuel efficiency, along with lower operating costs and greater tractive effort compared to earlier models. For more about how these locomotives work, check out this informative Rail Talk article https://lnkd.in/g72DPf-R . #EarthDay #sustainability #freight #rail
BNSF takes sustainability seriously, and that’s why we've committed to achieving a 30% reduction in greenhouse-gas emissions by 2030. One of the ways we’re working to achieve this goal is by continuing to improve the fuel efficiency of our locomotives. In honor of Earth Day, we look at our Tier 4 locomotives, the newest and cleanest-burning locomotives in North America.
