German, French economic advisors champion battery-electric trucks to decarbonise freight transport
Economic experts in Germany and France are calling for the two countries to coordinate strategies in the decarbonisation of road freight transport. In a joint statement, the Franco-German Council of Economic Experts and France’s Conseil d'analyse économique (CAE) said policymakers should focus support on boosting the use of battery-electric trucks (BET). “While numerous solutions for decarbonising road freight transport may become technically viable in the long run, not all are equally practical in the short to medium term,” they state. “BET have emerged as the most promising solution for rapid decarbonisation, particularly in short and medium-distance freight transport, where they already offer cost advantages and operational readiness.”
