MEPs adopt stricter CO2 emissions targets for trucks and buses https://lnkd.in/gDTjjb7c Setting targets alone is beneficial, but it's not enough to make a significant impact. The automotive industry and other stakeholders would benefit from the EU creating a clear policy roadmap and providing support. Addressing issues like charging infrastructure and managing the supply chain are crucial steps in moving forward. Vocational vehicles like garbage trucks, tippers, and concrete mixers, as well as new urban buses, could benefit from stricter CO2 reduction targets. However, long-haul trucks are a significant source of CO2 emissions, and the EU must develop a clear roadmap specifically for this segment to address the issue effectively. #electrictruck European Commission Daimler Truck AG Scania Group DAF Trucks NV MAN Truck & Bus SE TRATON GROUP Stellantis Iveco Group #electricvehicle #electricbus

POLITICS TRUMP REALITY Biden Set to Crack Down on Auto Emissions to Accelerate EV Sales When the Country Simply Isn’t Ready - Learn More: https://hubs.la/Q02pGR8n0 The Biden administration is preparing to roll out the toughest-ever limits on pollution from the nation’s cars and light trucks after making changes likely to mollify some automakers. Emissions limits set to be finalized by the Environmental Protection Agency within days would propel electric vehicle sales well beyond current levels. The EPA has projected that to meet proposed mandates, electric models would need to make up roughly two-thirds of car and light truck sales in 2032 — up from less than a tenth last year. #evs #electricvehicles #automakers #emissions #joebiden #bidenadministration

With 750,000 diesel trucks on Australian roads, it’s interesting to think about how much of an impact Low and Zero Emission Trucks (LZETs) could make to our emissions over time. But as more organisations make a commitment to sustainability, it’s no surprise to see an increased interest in LZETs, as the local market becomes more familiar with their capabilities and applications.

Today, EPA finalized a new regulation aimed at reducing emissions from heavy-duty vehicles and supporting the transition to zero-emission freight. This is a step in the right direction to encourage investments in the transportation sector and spur growth in the U.S. commercial vehicle industry as the market for zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles expands both domestically and abroad. “EPA’s new heavy-duty vehicle standards represent a step toward reducing emissions and advancing the transition to zero-emission freight, providing a necessary signal for investment in charging infrastructure and bolstering U.S. manufacturing to meet 2030 climate goals,” said John Boesel, CEO of CALSTART. “This regulation will spur investment and innovation that will result in accelerated growth of the domestic zero- emission commercial vehicle industry. In the long term, this regulation will create and protect jobs, while making the air cleaner and healthier for all.” Read More about the recent ruling here: https://buff.ly/3PFdrVC #CleanerTrucks #HeavyDuty

EU - MEPs adopt stricter CO2 emissions targets for trucks and buses. EU Parliament has adopted new measures, already agreed upon with the Council, to strengthen CO2 emission reduction targets for new heavy-duty vehicles (HDVs). CO2 emissions from large trucks (including vocational vehicles, such as garbage trucks, tippers or concrete mixers) and buses will have to be reduced by 45% for the period 2030-2034, 65% for 2035-2039 and 90% as of 2040. By 2030, new urban buses will need to reduce their emissions by 90% and become zero-emission vehicles by 2035. Emissions reduction targets are also set for trailers (7.5%) and semi-trailers (10%), starting from 2030. https://lnkd.in/gPXRxiNM

In a significant development, the EU has established provisional CO2 targets for heavy-duty vehicles. These targets are set to gradually phase out the sales of new diesel trucks by 2040. Manufacturers will have to achieve a 45% reduction in the average emissions of new trucks by 2030, followed by 65% in 2035 and 90% in 2040. This decision reflects the EU's commitment to reducing carbon emissions and transitioning towards more sustainable transportation solutions. If there's a solid and timely support structure in place, the #Hydrogen and #EV ongoing projects could be the game-changer the sector has been waiting for. It's all about giving it the push it needs!

UN adopts a more robust method to detect particle emissions from diesel vehicles UNECE’s World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations (WP.29) has adopted an amendment to the United Nations Rule No.1 of the 1997 Agreement that allows for the introduction of a more robust test procedure to measure exhaust particle emissions during periodic technical inspection tests for all diesel light-duty vehicles (passenger cars and vans) equipped with diesel particulate filters. The new procedure is performed using a particle counting instrument (PN-PTI), which provides a more accurate assessment of exhaust emissions and can thus better identify high emitting vehicles that are responsible for the majority of air pollution from traffic in urban areas The PN-PTI test replaces older methods based on smoke measurement (smoke opacity tests) that are not sensitive enough for modern diesel engines. The test is applicable to diesel vehicles with filters meeting the Euro 5 and 6 emission standards, and has recently been deployed in Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland, where it has proven its cost effectiveness and efficiency in detecting high emitters. https://lnkd.in/gtKfHjhZ

🚨 Europe’s lawmakers have just agreed to the world’s most ambitious CO2 standards for trucks and buses.    After a long year of negotiations, the #European Commission, #The Council of the EU, and the #European Parliament have provisionally agreed to new rules that will significantly reduce the emissions of almost all of Europe’s trucks and buses.     These vehicles will now have to curb their emissions by:  ⬇ 45% in 2030  ⬇ 65% in 2035  ⬇ 90% in 2040    🚌 City buses go a step further and 90% of sales will have to be zero-emission by 2030, increasing to 100% by 2035.    🚚 Vocational vehicles, like garbage trucks and concrete mixers, will also be regulated for the first time starting in 2035.    All combined, these new targets move Europe’s heavy-duty sector into a world-leading position for low-emission vehicles and bring us one step closer to achieving climate neutrality.    https://lnkd.in/ej3NCWU2 

A while ago, we posted a guide about the EU CO2 reduction target goals for vehicles. In it, we wrote about the European Commission revising regulations for trucks to further curb emissions. We are very glad that on Wednesday, the EU Parliament adopted these new measures 🙌 . This means that CO2 emissions from large trucks will have to be reduced by 45% before 2030, 65% before 2035, and 90% by 2040. We are now one step closer to net-zero ⚡ If you want get quick overview of the regulations, check out our guide! We also added the press release in the comments if you're curious #ev #electrification #netzero
