Scania, Mercedes-Benz, MAN The Only EU Truck Brands On Track To Decarbonise — New Study
of truck brands’ readiness to transition to 100% zero-emission sales¹. Mercedes-Benz Trucks, Scania and MAN all aim to sell only electric or hydrogen trucks by 2040. But green group Transport & Environment , which compiled the ranking, warned that four major European truck manufacturers lag far behind and risk losing market share to the American and Chinese challengers unless EU truck CO2 standards are tightened.
Volvo Trucks, the current market leader in zero-emission truck sales in Europe and the US, finishes only mid-table. Despite its ambitious public commitment to reach 70% zero-emission sales by 2030, the company lacks a 100% zero-emission sales target and is investing in gas and biofuels — which still emit CO2. Trailing behind, Renault Trucks aims for half of its sales to be zero emissions by 2030, but it too is hedging on gas and biofuels.
California’s 2036 diesel truck sales ban and the US Inflation Reduction Act could lead to truckmakers prioritising vehicle and battery production investments in America, the report also warns. This might result in truckmakers’ current voluntary commitments being changed or delayed. T&E said the EU needs to use the revision of its CO2 emission standards for heavy-duty vehicles to signal investment certainty in Europe and ensure truckmakers’ commitments are not abandoned.
Set a CO2 reduction target of -65% in 2030, in line with what leading manufacturers have already announced.
