The post Towards Net Zero: Exploring Pathways for Heavy Duty Vehicles in India appeared first on International Council on Clean Transportation.

Financial incentives have been a cornerstone of governmental efforts to promote zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs). As the market has grown, incentive programs have evolved in an effort to promote a just transition and make the best use of limited funds. In 2024, many incentive programs for passenger vehicles are now being scaled back or discontinued, while incentive programs for heavy-duty trucks are being created or expanded.

This ZEV Alliance webinar will summarize findings from a new report which surveyed financial incentives for light- and heavy-duty ZEVs across the world’s leading markets and identified opportunities to maximize the social and environmental benefits of incentives. It will also feature presentations and Q&A with two ZEV Alliance governments — Austria and New York state — on how they have designed and adapted their incentive programs and what might come next.

• Samantha Eigner, Analyst, AustraTech
• Adam Lomasney, Program Manager, New York State Energy Research and Development Authority
• Alexander Tankou, Researcher, International Council on Clean Transportation
• Dale Hall, Senior Researcher, International Council on Clean Transportation (moderator)

We recently published a white paper that examines the fuel efficiency technology potential for heavy-duty vehicles. In this webinar, we will speak to policymakers and other stakeholders on the potential benefits and costs of fuel consumption reduction technologies and provide evidence of technical and economic feasibility to support a future, more stringent fuel consumption standard for HDVs in India.

The post Unlocking fuel efficiency potential in India’s heavy-duty vehicles appeared first on International Council on Clean Transportation.

This webinar features maritime decarbonization experts discussing the unique opportunity the US has regarding a part of its domestic fleet, the Jones Act ships, and their future in zero-emission shipping.

Presenters:

Elise Sturrup, ICCT – Decarbonizing the US domestic fleet: The future of the Jones Act

Elise Sturrup is a Researcher on the ICCT Marine Program team. She supports research on zero-emission vessel alternatives and addresses impacts on marine protected areas from shipping activity. Her focus is the United States and Canada, looking into the unique opportunities these countries have regarding maritime shipping and a hydrogen economy. Elise’s research includes green corridor feasibility, hydrogen-based fuels for maritime, shipping efficiency measures, and water pollution caused by ships.

Jonathan Lewis, Clean Air Task Force (CATF) – The relationship between Jones Act vessels and regional clean hydrogen hubs

Jonathan Lewis is the Director of Transportation Decarbonization for Clean Air Task Force. To address climate change, he works with companies, governments, and citizen groups on state, national, and international initiatives. Much of Jonathan’s work focuses on fuels: he leads CATF’s effort to bring about a fully decarbonized global transportation sector by the midcentury, and he works with the Advanced Energy Systems Program to promote the development of zero-carbon fuels for transportation, power generation, and industry.

Madeline Rose, Pacific Environment (PE) Domestic Green Corridors: California’s Role in a West Coast Corridor

Madeline Rose leads Pacific Environment’s climate campaign, directing strategies to end industrial, transportation, and port pollution, with an initial focus on zero-emission shipping. She brings over 10 years of crisis mitigation and management, global campaign management, and public policy design to Pacific Environment. An accomplished public policy professional and global strategist, Madeline joined Pacific Environment after a decade of service in the humanitarian sector where she built and led local-to-global campaigns to reduce global levels of violence and alleviate human suffering.

This webinar provides an overview of the real-world performance, including energy consumption, range, and charging pattern of battery electric passenger cars and heavy-duty vehicles in China based on a large set of real-world data. It also highlights opportunities for policymakers to narrow this gap and boost consumer confidence.

More than one million zero-emission trucks and buses will be on the roads by 2030, requiring large-scale deployment of public and private charging infrastructure. The ICCT will share its assessment of county-by-county charging needs in 2025 and 2030, along with the projected size of publicly accessible charging depots along the National Freight Highway Network. This work supports utility, state, and federal policymaking that will shape the pace and scale of infrastructure investment to come.
