In recent years, the global conversation around sustainability and environmental impact has significantly shaped industries across the board. In Scotland, the government’s latest move to decarbonise the haulage industry reflects a bold step towards a greener future for the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The announcement has unveiled ambitious plans to decarbonise the haulage industry, aiming to provide transport firms access to a wide range of zero-emission trucks up to 44-tonnes by 2029.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Developed in collaboration with the logistics and energy sectors, the HGV Decarbonisation Pathway outlines key challenges posed by transitioning to zero-emission trucks: infrastructure, financial models, confidence in technological and commercial change, and workforce skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The partnership between the government, road haulage, manufacturing, energy, and commercial finance sectors is crucial in accelerating the transition towards zero-emission trucks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cabinet Secretary for Transport, Fiona Hyslop, emphasises the significance of this collaboration in overcoming hurdles to transition and driving collective action towards a greener future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The government’s roadmap envisions a future where operators of all sizes have confidence in the technical and financial options available for zero-emission trucks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
