This event was Hybrid.

The ERCST project aims to analyse EU policy pathways for decarbonizing heavy-duty road transport, and propose, if necessary and appropriate, complementary and/or alternative policy pathways. They will be underpinned by the EU objective of climate neutrality stemming from the EU Climate Law.

The project’s first report established an analytical base, exploring factors that influence mobility decarbonization pathways, identifying key outcomes, and suggesting necessary adjustments in light of changing economic, political, and social dynamics.

At a public event, ERCST presented its second report, assessing existing legislative measures for heavy-duty vehicle decarbonization and proposing new or supplementary strategies. This analysis focused on significant policy impacts on the sector, including CO2 emission reduction, EU energy independence, economic resilience, and societal effects like job creation and mobility affordability.

Panellists and participants reacted to the ERCST presentation and more broadly, to the decarbonisation pathway for HDVs. The results of these discussions will serve to pave the way to future developments on the ERCST mobility workstream.
