INDUSTRY REPORT
Create a snowball
effect
Build conditions for
success
To deploy zero-emission vehicles at
scale, fleet owners, infrastructure
providers and OEMs should launch joint
truck and infrastructure pilots in highvolume clusters and corridors. Demand
for alternative technologies needs to be
further stimulated by shippers putting
greater emphasis on emissions in
transport procurement, and by financiers
creating green products – aimed at
smaller fleet owners in particular.
Through technology partnerships for
example, with fuel-cell and battery
producers OEMs can accelerate the
commercialisation of trucks. And novel
revenue models could reduce the risk
for fleet owners by creating secondary
market certainty. More trucks on the
road means more reliability, lower cost
and yet more infrastructure, which in
turn creates incentives to invest further.
In parallel, the sector should give
stakeholders incentives to move to
widespread adoption of zero-emission
trucks. Regulators will play a key role
here, expanding incentives for OEMs,
energy companies and truck owners,
clarifying
regulatory
pathways
and creating joint-city campaigns.
Especially in the early stage of the
transition, the role of regulatory
incentives will be important because
“we will need to invest in new trucks
long before the market demand for
green trucks scales. We need help
to bridge that timing gap,” in the
words of one technology provider.
Regulators will also work with energy
companies and industry bodies
to set standards for battery charging
and hydrogen fuelling. Standards
and certification programmes can
also be set up by industry bodies to
assess the carbon intensity of fleets
and serve as a reliable metric in
transportation tenders.
Scale
As demand and supply grow, the
sector will focus on mass production of
trucks and fuels, ensuring maintenance
capability and integration with other
technology roadmaps.
The timeline
Reducing emissions
“The next 10 years will be critically
important for the road freight
sector to introduce zero emission
vehicles into the global fleet, and
it is very encouraging that road
freight leaders have already begun to
align on a technology pathway,”
said Carlos Maurer, Executive
Vice President of Sectors and
Decarbonisation at Shell.
Solutions can be started
immediately, using existing
technologies, leading to
significant short and mediumterm reductions in emissions.
The sector should focus on
reducing emissions from the
current fleet through proven cost
saving technologies.
