Transport Leaders call on the Energy Community to deliver common clean energy goals

Charging transport decarbonisation A message from the International Transport Forum 2023 Summit to the 2023 Clean Energy Ministerial to Partner in Accelerating Transport Decarbonisation From: Supporting Transport Initiatives, below To: the Energy Domain The transition to decarbonise transport has begun. [...] We hope to build on the results that proactive collaboration between transport and energy Ministries are already delivering and call on all administrations and initiatives the world over to further the combined transport and energy agenda by acting to accelerate the transition to decarbonised transportation. [...] An accelerated uptake of ZE medium and heavy-duty vehicles is pivotal to bring the emissions of freight transport in step with the Paris Agreement, deliver cost and health benefits, and strengthen energy security. [...] Policy ambitions for a swift transition are strongly voiced by manufacturers, fleet owners and national governments, reflected in the growing number of signatories of the Global Memorandum of Understanding on Zero-Emission Medium and Heavy-duty Vehicles: with 27 country signatories and over 80 endorsing sub-national governments and companies, jointly setting the ambition of 30% sales of new zero-e. [...] Close collaboration between energy and transportation policy is needed to ensure that the infrastructure is deployed in a timely and effective manner while maintaining an efficient use of resources and continuing to ensure grid stability.
