Advancing Zero-Emission Trucks and Green Ports

November 22, 2024

As global transport emissions continue to rise, the urgency for actionable solutions to mitigate environmental and health impacts grows. This report examines the challenges hindering the adoption of zero-emission trucks (ZETs), focusing on infrastructure, technology, operations, logistics, finance, and policy barriers. It proposes strategic approaches, including expanding EV charging infrastructure, investing in technological innovations to address interoperability, battery weight, and range issues, and diversifying supply chains. The study highlights the importance of R&D investment, innovative business models, and public-private partnerships to reduce capital barriers and attract investment. Clear regulatory frameworks are identified as critical to developing a cohesive roadmap for ZET adoption. With a specific focus on the role of ZETs in sustainable port logistics, this report offers a comprehensive analysis and actionable recommendations to accelerate the transition to a zero-emission transport future.
