🚛⚡Charging electric trucks in Europe is the next big milestone for clean freight. ICCT finds overnight depot charging will power most trucks, so public megawatt chargers will be critical but far fewer than expected.

10 years ago today, the #Dieselgate emissions scandal broke—uncovered by ICCT research. 🚗💨
Real-world testing revealed diesel cars emitted up to 35× the legal limits of nitrogen oxides (NOx), exposing widespread use of defeat devices. It became a pivotal moment for the global auto industry.

Good news for Europe’s main truck manufacturers: the first-ever CO₂ target is within reach.
This year, EU CO₂ standards require a 15% emissions reduction from new heavy-duty vehicles compared to 2019 levels. Our new study assesses manufacturers' progress and additional efforts needed 🚚 ⬇️

The success of the #FuelEU Maritime and #ReFuelEU aviation policies hinges on getting the technologies to scale up. The #CID points in a few encouraging directions. But the upcoming Sustainable Transport Investment Plan #STIP can't come soon enough.
Europe's Clean Industrial Deal can help decarbonize maritime shipping and aviation by supporting low-GHG advanced fuels by unlocking funding, providing capital support, and reducing risks. 🚢 ✈️
