Is the end of the combustion engine approaching even for trucks? If the transportation sector wants to make a greater contribution to climate protection goals, commercial vehicles must emit fewer pollutants. Given the dominance of diesel, this seems like a tall order from today’s perspective. But the market is moving, and DHL Freight is already testing various drive concepts in practice. We provide an outline of the most important alternative truck drive systems: https://lnkd.in/eM4yjtdy

People around the world rely on trucks to deliver the goods they need, and so-called long-haul trucks play a critical role in those supply chains. In the United States, long-haul trucks moved 71 percent of all freight in 2022. But those long-haul trucks are heavy polluters, especially of the carbon emissions that threaten the global climate. According to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates, in 2022 more than 3 percent of all carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions came from long-haul trucks.The problem is that long-haul trucks run almost exclusively on diesel fuel, and burning diesel releases high levels of CO2 and other carbon emissions. Global demand for freight transport is ...

Friends in the Industry - I would like to give a huge shoutout to the BC Trucking Association, which has secured another $1,000,000 in rebates for fuel-saving technologies through the latest CleanBC Heavy-Duty Efficiency Program intake. The update was recently shared in another excellent Today's Trucking article, which I encourage you to read here: https://lnkd.in/gD8HsteS As our collective industries progress in fuel-saving technologies and ultimately reduce our emissions, organizations benefit when they align themselves with the experts who can help navigate the complex emission reduction requirements. The BCTA has done an incredible job over the last 6+ years, encouraging and empowering organizations to implement fuel-saving technologies into their organizations. I applaud their efforts. #IndustryAdvocates #BCTA #SuccessInTransportation #GrowthMindset #EmissionReduction #FuelSavings

Höegh Autoliners has unveiled plans to build the world’s largest car carrier, capable of transporting up to 9,100 vehicles at once. The vessel, a RoRo (roll-on/roll-off) ship, will be designed to operate on #zeroemission fuels such as green ammonia and green methanol, a significant step forward in reducing the shipping industry’s environmental impact. The #shipping sector accounts for around 3% of global CO2 emissions, surpassing the emissions of entire countries like Germany. Traditionally, large ships have relied on bunker fuel, a cheap but highly polluting form of diesel containing up to 3,500 times more sulfur than road diesel. Höegh Autoliners new car carriers represent a significant shift towards cleaner shipping practices. The vessels’ ability to run on green ammonia and green methanol, produced from green hydrogen, promises to reduce #CO2 emissions by 70-95% over their lifecycle compared to oil-based fuels. Scaling Clean Technologies Höegh Autoliners has committed to ordering 12 of these #zeroemission car carriers, with deliveries scheduled to begin in 2024. The company aims to transition its entire fleet to green ammonia by 2027. Industry-wide Efforts Höegh Autoliners is not alone in its pursuit of a greener shipping industry. The company is part of the #FirstMoversCoalition, a group of leading companies committed to scaling clean technologies by pledging to purchase and invest in them. This collaborative effort aims to increase the availability and affordability of clean technologies, enabling entire sectors to #decarbonize. Höegh Autoliners #Sustainability Goals - Höegh Autoliners has set ambitious sustainability targets, aiming to reduce its fleet’s #greenhouse #gas #emissions by 30% by 2030 and achieve net-#zero #emissions by 2040. The company’s commitment to zero-emission car carriers and its participation in the First Movers Coalition demonstrate its leadership in driving a #sustainable #shipping #industry.

The Biden administration has initiated a national strategy aimed at identifying the most crucial freight hubs and corridors. The strategy outlines a 15-year plan for establishing 30 necessary charging stations (including hydrogen fuelling stations) to transition the nation's 20 million short haul vans/trucks, and eventually long-haul semi trucks away from fossil fuels. Another positive step towards Biden's 2050 net zero emissions target.

There should be incentives promoting hydrogen powered trucks, trains and automobiles at same time to accelerate adoption
