Review of decarbonisation policies for heavy-duty transport: recommendations for a successful transition

The ERCST project strongly supports the EU’s ambition to transition to a net zero energy system and vehicle sector by 2050. Zero emission vehicles are seen as the main technology destination to support this ambition. The project’s aim is to consider the proposed legislative pathways from today to reach this ambition. It seeks to assess the robustness of the current policies, the impacts on stakeholders, the economic, environmental, and social consequences of the policy and to explore multiple pathways to efficiently reach the target.

The first report sets the analytical framework and addresses the question: what influences the determination of pathways for mobility decarbonisation?

This second report analyses the current decarbonisation solutions for heavy duty road transport considering the new circumstances and recommendations for new pathways complementary and/or alternative to the existing ones.
