Logistics major Geodis has called on European transport authorities to speed up the decarbonisation process for trucking in the EU.
The company has joined European Clean Trucking Alliance’s (ECTA) call to action alongside other European businesses and organisations to support the mission of decarbonising road freight in the European Union (EU).
“The deployment of low-emission vehicles and energy infrastructure is an essential requirement to enable the transport sector’s transition,” said executive vice president Philippe de Carné.
To achieve ECTA’s goal of making the shift to zero-emissions by 2030 and a carbon-neutral Europe by 2050, Geodis has set itself the ambition of reducing its CO2 emissions by 2030.
“To achieve this objective, Geodis has deployed a programme that focuses on four areas of progress: measuring; reducing its greenhouse gas emissions - in particular through lower fuel consumption and the development of alternative engines and energies; setting up partnerships with its main subcontractors; and developing "low-carbon" solutions for its customers,” de Carné said.
