Fireside Chat: Rethinking Transport for a Net-Zero Europe
Decarbonising the road fleet through the combined deployment of two key technologies can reduce risk and lower infrastructure costs compared to a scenario relying solely on battery electric vehicle (BEV) infrastructure. Beyond cost, political and technological choices about the future of mobility must also address the growing risks of resource scarcity. This session will focus particularly on the automotive and trucking sectors, where large-volume offtake will determine the success or failure of clean mobility solutions. As major drivers of demand, these sectors will play a pivotal role in shaping the scale and speed of the transition.
