Decarbonisation Power Players will drive the transport industry towards net zero

Less than a third of hauliers are optimistic the 2040 end-of-sale date for new diesel trucks can be met with almost two thirds wanting greater government support for the transition, according to a joint report from Bridgestone and Webfleet.

The heads of Europe’s largest truckmakers are set to announce plans to halt the sale of diesel vehicles by 2040, a decade earlier than originally planned.

Nestlé has switched 75% of its owned fleet of trucks from diesel to Bio-LNG in a move designed to help the company become net zero by 2050.
