The objective of the project is to analyse the current pathways emerging from EU policy for decarbonisation of heavy-duty road transportation including links to the other transportation modes 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. In comparing various decarbonisation option, the project will take due account of the full Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of GHG emissions and the cumulative reduction of CO₂ emissions over time.

The deliverables of the project are intended to support the discussion on decarbonization of transport in the next policy cycle.

The first deliverable of the project addressed the following question:

A) What influences the determination of pathways for mobility decarbonization?

1. Identify the desired outcomes (KPIs) that were used in defining the current pathways for mobility decarbonization
2. Outline changes in social environment (COVID, energy crisis, geopolitical, etc.)
3. Determine new desired outcomes (KPIs) that need to be considered under current circumstances
