Heavy-duty vehicles CO2 targets 2030: Which drivetrain technology will win?

After the passenger car market has been driven by regulation to ever greater CO2 optimization over the past ten years, it is time for the EU’s second-largest cause of greenhouse gas emissions in road traffic: heavy-duty vehicles (HDV) like commercial trucks or buses. In this article, fka give a brief insight into the legislation before taking a closer look at the starting position of CO2 emissions at HDV. Then, the alternative technology strategies and their dependence on specific fields of application are presented. In a conclusion, fka shares their thoughts around the direct implications on the value chain.
