Truck electrification is one of the most effective strategies to decarbonize road freight. In addition to strong regulations in Europe and North America, front-runner shippers are a critical driver to truck electrification. In this session, we will discuss how stakeholders are joining forces in collaborative initiatives to accelerate vehicle supply, charging infrastructure, and finance.

This session will also discuss current and upcoming opportunities for electric truck projects in various regions including North America, Europe, China, and India. It seeks to identify and overcome barriers hindering these projects' progress while extracting lessons across regions to launch, scale, and replicate such initiatives. The session will also provide insights into the role of private sector involvement and policy leadership to advance electric truck pilots globally.

Attendance allowed by invitation only.

While zero emission truck application offers many benefits, uptake and investments are relatively low. Zero emission trucks are seen as a new asset class with which many investors seem partly unfamiliar also due to the lack of real time use data and experience. This session aims to enhance the understanding of zero emission trucking as a solid asset class enabling a more solid understanding as a basis for a consideration of a stronger and scaled up engagement in specific opportunities for zero emission truck investment. At the session the Bloomberg/SFC report on zero emission trucking as asset class will be presented.
