The European hub for sustainable heavy-duty transport leaders – where innovation meets action.
Heavy-duty vehicles (HDVs) may be only 2% of the road fleet, but they pack a punch, contributing to 27% of climate emissions in European road transport.
As the European Commission’s proposed revisions on CO2 emission standards set a crucial deadline of 2030 and hauliers’ customers set ever more ambitious Scope 3 targets, road freight executives like yourself are on the cusp of paradigm shift.
We understand decarbonisation cannot be achieved alone, which is why Reuters Events: Sustainable Road Transport Europe 2024 is the only event uniting senior practitioners from across Shippers, Transport & Logistics, Government, OEM Manufacturers, Policy Makers, Utilities, Technology and Finance, so together you can achieve change. Be at the forefront of sustainable transport and join 200+ transport leaders this September in Amsterdam.
