The shift towards sustainable transportation is accelerating in Europe, as evidenced by the remarkable growth of the e-bus market. In 2023, a staggering 6,354 e-buses were registered in EU27 + Norway, Iceland, and Switzerland, marking a remarkable 53% increase from the previous year. What's even more impressive is that over 42% of city buses were zero-emission, comprising Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) and Hydrogen buses. This surge represents a significant leap from just 15% in 2020, demonstrating a rapid transition towards cleaner and greener mobility solutions. The numbers speak volumes about the momentum behind alternative drivelines in the European bus market. With a total of 13,466 buses equipped with alternative drivelines registered last year, there was a notable 41% increase compared to the previous year. These figures, sourced from Chatrou CME Solutions, underscore the growing demand for environmentally friendly transportation options across the continent. The rise of e-buses and alternative drivelines reflects a collective commitment to combatting climate change and reducing emissions in the transportation sector. As cities strive to improve air quality and sustainability, e-buses emerge as a viable solution, offering zero-emission travel without compromising on performance. This exponential growth not only signifies a monumental shift towards greener transportation but also presents significant opportunities for innovation, investment, and job creation in the burgeoning e-mobility sector. With continued support and investment from policymakers, manufacturers, and stakeholders, the electrification of public transportation will undoubtedly play a pivotal role in shaping a cleaner, more sustainable future for Europe and beyond. #ebusrevolution #sustainabletransport #greenmobility

🌍 🚌 Today at the European ZEB Conference, Antoine Grange, CEO Europe of Transdev, shared his valuable perspective on the challenges faced in scaling up the deployment of #ZeroEmission buses in light of the revised CO2 emission standards for heavy-duty vehicles targeting all new city buses being zero tailpipe emission from 2030. Here are some of the key points underlined: ▶ On #AirQuality & #decarbonization: highlighting the pressing issue of deteriorating air quality in European cities and how it is driving the adoption of ambitious measures to decarbonize everyday mobility, with public transport playing a central role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. ▶ On investment in #LowEmission transport: local authorities are investing billions in low-emission transport modes, marking the sector's transition to low-carbon energy, albeit at significant cost ▶ On the balance between standards and support: the importance of setting standards that are not too restrictive for sectors such as public transport, while advocating support for local industries to reduce dependence on imported spare parts. ▶ On taking local needs into account: highlighting the need to take local characteristics and needs into account, promoting technological neutrality. Many authorities are opting for biogas as a transitional solution due to its cost-effectiveness and ease of deployment. Reflections that highlight the complex challenges and considerations in the journey towards zero-emission city buses. Collaboration and thoughtful planning are essential if we are to achieve our goals of lower emissions and more accessible public transportation! #SustainableMobility #EmissionsReduction #ZEB2023

In light of new CO2 standards for city buses to achieve zero tailpipe emissions from 2030, the mobility sector faces several challenges.    At the European ZEB Conference, I had the privilege of participating as a panelist to discuss these challenges in scaling up zero emissions. The main issues that stood out were air pollution in European cities, the evolving landscape of low-emission transport modes, the balance between standards and industry support, and the importance of assessing and meeting local needs.   To navigate this complex transition towards zero-emission city buses, close collaboration and thoughtful planning are crucial. Throughout this journey, we must not lose sight of our ultimate goal: providing carbon-free and accessible transportation solutions to all.   #SustainableMobility #EmissionsReduction #ZEB2023

Ever heard of VECTO?!https://lnkd.in/ejuQuege It’s the European Commission’s tool for measuring truck CO2 emissions, crucial for ensuring manufacturers meet emission reduction targets. Until recently, there were only volunteering commitments. Now EU has the tool to ensure these commitments materialise! As we push into the 2020s and 2030s, the spotlight isn’t just on truck manufacturers, who are already rapidly increasing electric truck production, but also on the urgent need for the RIGHT charging infrastructure. The lack of this infrastructure and the optimal operation of it, threatens not just the green transition but Europe’s edge in clean transportation. At DECADE, we echo European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA) Director General Sigrid de Vries: "Manufacturers are doing their utmost to decarbonize but rely on enabling conditions that are largely outside their control...". Decade Energy steps in here, offering custom solutions for truck managers to seamlessly adopt and benefit from electrification. We’re not just talking about a transition; we’re building the path for Europe to lead in sustainable heavy-duty transport. #charging #electrictrucks #lastmile

🌍 Exploring the Emission-Free Future of Bus Transportation at Flix 🌍 Is this the emission-free bus of the future? Hopefully! The discussions around achieving emission-free transportation are buzzing, and there's notable progress, especially in replacing buses on city commuter lines. However, as we forge ahead on short distances, long-distance solutions remain a challenge. At Flix, we're not idly waiting for a solution to magically appear. For months, we've been diligently working within our ecosystem on alternative fuels like hydrogen and electric power. This involves a lengthy and complex process: conducting research and development, producing initial prototypes, and running real tests on the road. But that's not all. We're actively transforming our fleet by introducing already available LNG and Biogas-fueled buses. Thanks to a recent deal with Scania, we're set to reduce carbon emissions by up to 80% compared to our already planet-friendly diesel-fueled buses. Soon, there will be 50 buses of this kind hitting the roads. Sure, we face challenges and occasional setbacks, but that's the nature of these tests. It's a time for learning, allowing us to discover reliable and efficient solutions for the future. While our plan for an electric bus test in Poland this year faced a setback due to a simple reason—no available buses at the moment—the key point is that our commitment to SBTi targets and achieving carbon neutrality in Europe by 2040 remains steadfast! We anticipated there would be ups and downs, but the direction is clear, and we're confident that the joint effort of Flix and our partners will pay off. Stay tuned for more updates! 🚍🔋 #SustainableTransportation #CarbonNeutrality #InnovationInMotion

Having presented at many an event over the years, this weeks Motor Transport's #RTX2024 Road Transport Expo Knowledge Zone will live in the memory. Why? Read on and I'll tell you (with the usual candour) On Wednesday in front of a standing room only crowd, I had the privilege of being #1 to take to the stage and share insights into what has been achieved by GRIDSERVE Electric Freightway team including multiple trucks on the road already due to this incredible project over the past year of advancement. The Zero Emission HGV & Infrastructure Demonstrator programme, delivered in partnership with Innovate UK is well under way. All 4 'competing' projects shared their journeys, challenges, aspirations and most importantly a willingness to #collaborate. A very well known two-lettered greenwashing oil giant exited stage left from one of the consortiums recently. Having orchestrated the usual deferment of perceived efforts, enabling more oil sales for a little longer whilst preventing ten of millions of taxpayers money from being injected positively into the sector by now, their work was complete and their shareholders no doubt delighted at a job well done. (slow clap) Nevertheless, the collective welcome of their departure has opened the door immediately for this #collaboration to happen. Angus Webb and Tom Williams have done an amazing job re-building Zen Freight to its new 2.0 status. David Langford and Michael Boxwell shared their project progress to date then we all sat and discussed ways in which together we can make a real difference, fielding more questions than we could answer in the time available. If you add the hours of debate spent after the session with audience members, this day is testament to the interest in this area of transport decarbonisation. Let's #deliver.

Rail reduces energy consumption by 50% ⚡ At CargoBeamer, we are not just focused on reducing CO2 emissions. Another great example of using rail instead of road for long-distance transport of semi-trailers is that the train only consumes half of the energy per unit compared to using the truck on the road. This is mainly due to a significantly lower rolling resistance rail tracks have compared to roads. 💡 In times where the demand of sustainable energy is a much discussed, intermodal therefore also helps to consume less energy in total than road transport would. For example, the total amount of energy CargoBeamer reduced through its operations in 2022 amounts to as much as 3,000 German citizens would consume in a whole year. 👨👩👧👧 Want to find out more about how we are reducing energy consumption?
