While medium- and heavy-duty vehicles make up only 4% of total fleet vehicles, they are responsible for a disproportionate 36% share of fuel consumption and respective greenhouse gas emissions. That’s why Drive to Zero, alongside our partners and allies in the ZEVWISE coalition, launched an initiative to advance the development of at least Ten Green Corridors globally by 2026. Read more about the mission to stand up the Corridors and catalyze vital vehicle and infrastructure policies in our August newsletter: https://buff.ly/3ACyofm #electricvehicles #transportation #freight #trucking #decarbonization

We're excited to highlight Global MOU endorser SIDBI(Small Industries Development Bank of India), which has received approval for $215.6 million in funding from the Green Climate Fund. SIDBI will create a corpus of $1 billion for Financing Mitigation and Adaptation Projects (FMAP) to support micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). The fund will provide a FMAP facility for MSMEs, for projects such as renewable energy, energy efficiency, energy storage, and e-mobility. At a recent SIDBI capacity-building workshop, "Evaluating Green Finance Opportunities," Drive to Zero's Joseph Teja shared insights on the global e-mobility landscape and opportunities to empower small fleet owners and operators in India. Exciting progress for green finance and MSMEs! #GreenFinance #Sustainability #MSMEs #renewableenergy #emobility Dr Ravindra Kumar Singh Rajiv Kumar Pawan Kumar Bharti

Expansion of public charging infrastructure is crucial to the #zeroemission transition. In this article from Mobility Portal Europe, Drive to Zero Europe Director Sita Holtslag and Program Manager Adrian Serna Tamez share their thoughts on the policies and innovation needed to advance the broader deployment of ZE fleets and enable expanded charging networks. Read on to learn what's creating momentum - including our Global MOU community.
🌍 Although Europe already has 15,000 electric trucks, their distribution and that of their charging infrastructure is uneven. What are the reasons for this, and how could the market be promoted to become more “uniform”?
