Public

FRIDAY, APRIL 29 AT 11:00AM PACIFIC. There are approximately 12 million medium-and heavy-duty vehicles (MHDV) in the United States, representing about 5% of all vehicles on the road and 30% of transportation-related greenhouse gas emissions. There are distinguishable differences between MHDV and light duty vehicles and the same carbon abatement strategies may not apply to both sectors.

The Fuels Institute commissioned Guidehouse Insights to establish a baseline framework for evaluating the emissions contributions of the medium- and heavy-duty transportation sectors and the potential viable solutions that could be applied. In this webinar, we would like to share the results of the report, which specifically sought to demonstrate the diversity and complexity of the medium- and heavy-duty sectors to help accelerate identification of emissions solutions that will yield the greatest benefit at the lowest achievable cost by enabling decision makers to consider the unique applications of each type of vehicle.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 27 at 10:00 CEST for this 90min long webinar. Drastic emissions reduction in road transport are needed to meet the EU transport goals in the next decades. Hydrogen-fuelled vehicles will be key to decarbonising the trucks segment, as these types of vehicles can provide major flexibility, fast refuelling and driving range expected by their customers to close the gap with current diesel alternatives.

The speakers will tackle both the opportunities and challenges of the technology, the complementarity that hydrogen will play in the road mobility sector with other zero-emission technologies such as battery-electric trucks, and discuss key enabling conditions such as the ambitious rollout of a hydrogen refuelling station network to ensure that these trucks can fully realise their zero-emission potential.

Confirmed speakers include

• Ismail Ertug, MEP, European Parliament
• Fernando Liesa, Secretary-General, ALICE
• Paul Karzel, Managing Director Germany and Head of Industry Relations, LifteH2
• Michele Ziosi, Senior VP Institutional Relations & Sustainability, IVECO Group
• Manfred Schuckert, Head of Automotive Regulatory Strategy, Daimler
• Fedor Unterlohner, Freight manager, T&E
• Jorgo Chatzimarkakis, CEO, Hydrogen Europe
