The European Parliament has passed a law that mandates almost all new trucks sold in 2040 to be zero-emission, aiming to reduce CO2 emissions from heavy-duty vehicles by 62% by 2050. The law will also require manufacturers to progressively reduce emissions of new trucks and vocational vehicles by certain percentages in the coming years.
The European Parliament today approved a law that will require almost all new trucks sold in 2040 to be zero-emission. Green group Transport & Environment (T&E) said the law — agreed in negotiations between MEPs and governments — will help European manufacturers to compete with foreign electric truckmakers and is estimated to reduce the annual CO2 emissions from heavy-duty vehicles by 62% by 2050 (compared to 1990).
Manufacturers will have to cut the average emissions of new trucks by 45% in 2030, 65% in 2035 and 90% in 2040. From 2035, the targets will also apply to vocational vehicles such as garbage and construction trucks. Trailer manufacturers will also need to improve the emissions performance of truck trailers by 10% in 2030. By 2030, 90% of new buses will need to be zero-emission, reaching 100% by 2035
