1. Low carbon trucking the road to 2030 and beyond Stef Cornelis
Safer and Cleaner Truck Officer

2. T&E: 27 COUNTRIES 49 MEMBER & SUPPORT GROUPS

3. Context

4. 2030 climate package – 40% GHG cuts by 2030

5. Non-ets targets - No time to waste

6. Truck trends
Increasing demand, reverse modal shift and insufficient fuel efficiency improvement
“Freight will replace passenger traffic as main source of CO2 emissions from surface transport” (ITF + ICCT)
For trucks the picture is quite different
Fastest increasing subsegment of road transport, a lot faster than cars or vans
Key drivers demand growth & no progress on truck fuel efficiency

7. Non-ets targets for the nordics
Situation in Denmark
Member state
Effort-sharing target (vs. 2005) by 2030 EU
-30%
Denmark
-39%
Finland
Norway
-40%
Sweden

8. The way forward

9. A. Truck co2 standards – the first step
‘This Commission will, therefore, speed up analytical work on design options for carbon dioxide emission standards for such vehicles and will launch a public consultation to prepare the ground for a proposal during this mandate.’

10. Still lots of potential
Commission: -35% with 2-3 year payback periods
ICCT -40% by 2030 with 2-3 year payback periods
New EU research: on-going
For trucks the picture is quite different
Fastest increasing subsegment of road transport, a lot faster than cars or vans
Key drivers demand growth & no progress on truck fuel efficiency

11. Cleaner and safer trucks
New designs allowed from 2020
For trucks the picture is quite different
Fastest increasing subsegment of road transport, a lot faster than cars or vans
Key drivers demand growth & no progress on truck fuel efficiency

12. Yes we can

13. B. WHAT ABOUT BIOFUELS?
Phase-out support for 1st generation biofuels and target
Ethanol: ILUC emissions and scalability
Major share in transport is biodiesel
Rather support advanced biofuels (sustainability criteria)
Cannot bring the longterm savings we need

14. C. Electrification for longterm objectives
Different initiatives on national level
Possibility to make the grid clean
Which way forward (eHighway, hydrogen, PtX, ...)
Time for an EU Low Carbon Trucking Strategy
Renewable electricity of gross consumption in 2030 (%)
EU28
42.5
Denmark
71.4
Finland
46.3
Sweden
68.9

15. conclusions
Trucks big part of Europe’s climate problem – growing emissions
Diesel will play major role in near future – truck CO2 standards can bring the biggest savings here
Longer term perspective – advanced biofuels bring limited savings
Electrification to reach the 2050 target - strategy needs to be developed
