Mobility Portal Europe’s Post

As top Vietnamese government leaders headed to Dubai to attend CoP 28 last week, Pioneer's CEO, Arthur Do, shared his thoughts on greening the commercial transport sector as an efficient way for Vietnam to achieve NetZero. Specifically, the article discusses the role of electric vehicles (EVs) in reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainable practices in Vietnam's commercial transport sector. It highlights the significant impact of commercial vehicles on carbon emissions and the potential benefits of electrifying this sector. By adopting electric trucks and buses, there is the potential for a remarkable 37% reduction in carbon emissions and a 94% reduction in PM2.5 emissions by 2030, aligning with Vietnam's commitment to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. Additionally, the article explores the growing demand for green mobility among consumers and businesses in Vietnam, leading to an evolving EV market in the country. In conclusion, the article presents thought-provoking ideas to reduce carbon emissions and promote environmentally friendly practices in the commercial transport sector, thereby facilitating more efficient progress towards achieving NetZero.

The sixth edition of the Fleet Sustainability Ranking has been published, examining how various industries are #transitioning to #emissionfree transport. Compiled by LeasePlan, the report compares the car fleets of eight industries across 22 #European countries, ranking them on the share of diesel, the share of battery electric vehicles (#BEVs), the share of #hybrids and the average grams of #CO2emissions per km. The data is drawn from the passenger cars leased from #LeasePlan by companies operating an international passenger car fleet. In order that the data is representative for each country, a total of at least 500 vehicles must be leased by at least 10 different companies in each industry. The industries were ranked 1 to 8 in all four categories and those results collated to provide an overall table. Coming out best was the #Technology industry (Companies primarily involved in the development of hardware or software products) while #Healthcare and #Pharma (Companies developing, selling or buying healthcare products – including pharmaceutical drugs) brought up the rear – mostly due the high share of diesel vehicles within the industry.  1. Technology  2. Financial & Professional Services 3. Energy & Chemicals 4. Industrial 5. Automotive 6. Consumer Goods 7. Construction 8. Healthcare & Pharma The report digs deep into each industry and reveals some unusual patterns. For example, in the Technology industry there are large differences per country in the pace of moving away from #diesel. In the #Netherlands 3% of vehicles were registered as diesel, whereas in #Austria this was 67%. There was even greater diesel disparity in the #Constructionsector, with the Netherlands and the #UK having a diesel share of 4% in 2022 while in #Germany the share was 87%. Also within construction, it’s interesting to see that the share of BEVs has grown from 4% to 14% in just two years – a lot of this down to #Finland whose BEV share has catapulted from 1% in 2020 to 30% in 2022. As LeasePlan point out, transport is the fastest-growing contributor to #climatechange, with road transport accounting for approximately 20% of CO2 emissions in the EU. Given that around 50% of vehicles on the road today are registered to corporate entities, those companies are important in leading the #transition to a more #sustainabletransport system.

The road transportation sector represents one fifth of the EU's greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. According to the IEA, to get on track for net zero emissions by 2050, CO2 emissions from the transport sector must fall by more than 3% per year to 2030. Industry largely relies on commercial fleets to transport goods, traditionally powered via conventional fuels. I am proud of the part we, at VARO Energy, play through our e-Mobility strategy, to help decarbonise commercial road transportation by accelerating the electrification of commercial fleets. A great example of this is the new e-truck charging hub - Antonie Bodaanweg (Waalhaven) - in the Port of Rotterdam, inaugurated earlier today. Initiated by the Port of Rotterdam and Truckparkings Rotterdam Exploitatie BV, this is the first of its kind in the heart of logistic Rotterdam and Europe’s largest port. VARO Charging is proud to have partnered with Truckparkings Rotterdam, a market leader in secured truck parking, to operate this charging site. Offering a 24/7 charging solution, we ensure a sustainable energy supply for all battery-electric heavy-duty trucks and coaches. This is enabled via the software of Road, a key e-Mobility European company in which VARO holds the majority stake. I would like to extend my thanks to the VARO teams that contributed to make this happen and especially to Sacha Konan, Country President Benelux, Florence Lebeau, our Brand Strategy Director and our e-Mobility colleagues Ruben Benders, Taco van Berkel, Stefan van den Bos. This is another milestone in our growing e-Mobility business which is playing a leading role in partnering with customers to decarbonise mobility.

Transforming Transportation: Embracing Sustainability with Electric Vehicles Exploring the Environmental Impact of Ground Transport and Logistics In developed nations, the logistics industry stands as a major contributor to carbon emissions, constituting over 33% of global carbon dioxide output. The prevalent use of fossil fuels, particularly gasoline, to fuel transportation assets significantly contributes to this environmental footprint. Whether as part of a logistics company's Scope 1 emissions with owned vehicle fleets or within Scope 3 emissions through leased or rented fleets, the shift towards electric vehicles represents a crucial step in mitigating this impact. #SustainableTransportation #logisticsrevolution #tatamotors #mahindralogistics #hyundaiindia #exide https://lnkd.in/gS74rxUx
