According to data from the World Economic Forum, heavy duty trucks are responsible for 25% of global road emissions, despite only representing 1% of total fleet vehicles. Decarbonising heavy-duty transport is therefore a high priority and will necessitate a joined-up approach between technology developers, vehicle manufacturers, infrastructure providers and governments to create affordable and sustainable alternatives for this substantial and strategic market sector.
IAAPS is working closely with industry partners on electrification solutions as well as hydrogen technology to fast track the decarbonisation of heavy-duty transport in the race to tackle climate change.
Current projects include the delivery of technologies and R&I for electric trucks with the aim to improve efficiency, charging speed and drive performance.
