Accelerating ZET Deployment: Complementary Demand-Side Measures to Strong CO₂ Standards
Road freight decarbonization is at a critical stage, with zero-emission trucks (ZETs) essential to meet EU climate targets. Despite strong supply-side regulation, ZET adoption remains slow due to high upfront costs, delayed infrastructure, and fragmented policies. Targeted demand-side measures, aligned policies, and focus on TCO-viable use cases are needed to accelerate uptake. Collaboration across shippers, carriers, policymakers, and industry coalitions is key.
Empowering Shippers: How Book and Claim Plus a Clear Action Plan Can Unlock Heavy Road Freight Decarbonization
Road emissions account for two-thirds of global freight transport emissions. This White Paper explores how the book and claim model can support credible procurement of low emission transportation services (LETS) in road freight, overcoming data and network limitations to accelerate fuel deployment, ensure verification, and enable shippers’ decarbonization goals. Authored by SFC with contributions from Procter & Gamble, Normec Verifavia, and Gruber Logistics.
From Awareness to Action Regional Perspectives on BETs
As part of a pan-Indian effort to accelerate the deployment of Zero Emission Trucks (ZETs), Smart Freight Centre, India hosted a series of regional workshops that were held under NITI Aayog’s e-FAST initiative - ‘Accelerating the Shift: Transition to Zero Emission Trucks’ witnessed the participation of a remarkably diverse set of over 700+ stakeholders across 11 cities. The engagement spanned more than 35+ city and state-level departments, reflecting strong institutional involvement. The workshops also brought together over 40+ logistics service providers, 20+ shippers, and 10+ financing institutions, highlighting the broad industry interest in zero-emission freight solutions. Additionally, the presence of 10 associations, 7 original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), and 12 charge point operators (CPOs) underscored the multi-sectoral collaboration essential for building a robust ecosystem for Zero Emission Trucks in India.
