EU policy framework & transition to zero emission commercial vehicles
European Commission has proposed the revised version of CO2 regulation for heavy-duty vehicles in February.
We’ll be taking a stock of the regulatory framework and of the technological achievements, trying to highlight the challenges operators and OEMs are dealing with, involving organizations, industry players, leading carriers.

The framework
Concerning public transport, the Clean Vehicles Directive is in place since 2021, with quotas for zero emission buses in public tenders. In the truck field, the definition of Euro VII standard is underway and poses specific challenges to the sector.
From the technological point of view, is the zero emission commercial vehicles market growing at the expected pace? Is still mileage the main concern and the main topic? Where are we standing concerning infrastructure‘s deployment? What about gas-drives? Is retrofit going to really play a role in the transition of public transport?
Format and organizers
Giving a clear picture of the subject in an agile video reporting with involvement of key stakeholders. This is the goal of the just-launched VideoSpotlight format. Our proposal is a deal: you’ll get a clear explanation of the subject in less than one hour. From the live voices of the most relevant organizations and players, able to identify challenges, opportunities, insights.
In doing so, we are partnering with our fellow-platform Sustainable Truck&Van, also belonging to the editorial platform of the publishing house Vado e Torno Edizioni. Sustainable Truck&Van is an international website fully focused on low- and zero-emissions trucks and vans as well as sustainability in the field of heavy-duty and commercial vehicle transport.
