Webinar on zero-emission heavy duty vehicles

NextETRUCK, TNO and POLIS invite you to attend our upcoming webinar on zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles , which will take place on 20 February, from 14-15:00.

Road freight is one of the highest polluting sector in Europe, which is currently underperforming in it effort to decarbonise in order to reach the EU climate targets. Whereas the uptake of electric private passenger cars is surging in many EU member states, battery- and (fast-) charging technology are currently the limiting factors for heavy duty vehicles.

Significant advancement in the above-stated technologies were made in recent years, which allowed the major truck OEMs to bring eHGVs on the market. Thus, the state-of-the-art of these vehicles are going to be highlighted in the joint webinar by TNO and POLIS.

What are the main aspects of the NextETRUCK webinar?

• Latest developments of the zero-emission freight sector
• Newest models of electric- and hydrogen trucks
• Current and potential future use cases of these newly developed vehicles

I am not representing an entity that is directly involved in the logistics-, production- or charging sector of zero-emission HGVs and specifically electric trucks, why is the topic relevant for me?

Whether you are representing a city, region, institution or the private sector – the decarbonisation of road freight is essential to achieve climate targets and requires significant investments from cities related to energy- and charging infrastructure. Furthermore, cities and businesses should be aware of the challenges and current limitations of heavy-duty vehicles that are not propelled by an internal combustion engine.

Knowing the current state-of-the-art, one could potentially answer these questions:

• How can goods enter urban areas without noise- and air pollution?
• What investment strategies should be taken?
• What are the cost of decarbonising the road freight sector?
