Under the Global Memorandum of Understanding (Global MOU) on Zero-Emission Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicles (ZE-MHDV), leading nations are now working collaboratively to enable 100% zero-emission new truck and bus sales by 2040 with an interim goal of 30% zero-emission vehicle sales by 2030. MOU organizers and facilitators the Netherlands and CALSTART’s Drive to ZeroTM are hosting a series of invitation-only discussions with MOU nations. The goal is to share data and connect countries with leading technology and business experts who can support the signatories in advancing their ZE-MHDV ambitions.
Our fifth discussion will center on innovative financing and what countries can to do stimulate the flow of capital to help accelerate the ZE-MHDV segment. *Invitation only.
Key Findings
- Innovative financing methods like ‘trucking/charging as a service’ (operator leasing vehicle and/or charging infrastructure) can support diverse business models and help knock down entry barriers for fleet operators by providing solutions that are less capital-intensive and can help aggregate demand to catalyze early market development.
- Tailored mechanisms like loan loss reserves, residual value guarantees, and credit enhancements can help fleets overcome the cost difference between diesel trucks and zero-emission alternatives and attract private capital by reducing the risk associated with investments.
- Public sector support in reducing early adopter risk could be valuable to accelerate the uptake of innovative financing models.
