Prime Mover: VIC backs zero emissions freight push amid fuel pressure
The Victorian Government is moving to align with a global framework aimed at accelerating the transition to zero-emission trucks.
THE PROGRAM
Drive to Zero is working to accelerate the decarbonization of commercial vehicles through global partnerships, innovative tools, groundbreaking research, and education.
Although they are a relatively small portion of vehicles, diesel trucks and buses pack a big and devastating punch when it comes to pollution— including climate pollution.
We, and our partners in Colombia, are helping top global government officials and private sector innovators reach an ambitious goal of 100% new zero-emission medium- and heavy-duty vehicle sales by the year 2040 under the Global MOU.
