The decarbonization of heavy-duty vehicles in EU can go much faster than projected, study shows
The EU 2030 climate plan is missing out on the potential reductions that can be achieved with heavy-duty vehicles. According to a new report by the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI), emissions could decrease by 24% between 2019 and 2030 instead of the 4% projected in a pathway aligned with the EU "Fit for 55".The road transport sector is one of the biggest emitters within EU and heavy-duty vehicles make up 27% of its emissions. In order to meet its climate targets and reduce emissions by 55% by 2030 and reach net zero by 2050, the EU needs to transform the transport sector. However,
