Trucks, responsible for 10% of global CO₂ emissions, highlight the importance of decarbonizing heavy-duty transport. While progress has been seen in electrifying smaller commercial vehicles, challenges remain for medium and heavy-duty transport. The transition requires substantial investments and supportive regulations. The global climate crisis and societal pressure are pushing companies towards sustainable operations, with customers and investors demanding green solutions. Challenges include limited grid capacity, availability of green electricity, and inadequate charging infrastructure, hindering the rapid transition to electric vehicles. DHL faces these issues, especially in the Post & Parcel division. Innovative solutions and investments are crucial to advancing electrification, including expanding grid capacity, accelerating charging infrastructure, and securing green energy sources. Transitional technologies like biogas, advanced biodiesel, and battery-electric trucks with range extenders can help reduce emissions. Alternative fuel infrastructure regulations are crucial, requiring swift implementation. Battery-swapping systems, as seen in China, offer efficient operations and downtime reduction. Europe could adopt these systems with standardized batteries and government support. While transitioning to zero-emission propulsion will take time, implementing transitional technologies can reduce emissions today.
