Creating a market for medium and heavy-duty zero emission vehicles

EV100+ is Climate Group’s new global initiative that builds on the success of our initiative for passenger and light-duty vehicles, EV100. It brings together companies committed to kickstarting the transition to zero-emission medium and heavy-duty vehicles (MHDVs). EV100+ will support these businesses in sending a strong demand signal to the market by creating a platform for knowledge sharing, and joint policy engagement.

Overview

MHDVs are a disproportionate source of global greenhouse gas emissions. Representing just 4% of global road vehicles, MHDVs produced over 5% of the total global CO2 emissions in 2019, which is predicted to increase to over 11% by 2050 if action is not taken.

Decarbonising MHDVs offers a major solution. To achieve the objectives of the Paris Agreement, MHDVs must be completely decarbonized with all new trucks sold in the world’s major markets needing to be zero-emission by 2040. EV100+ members will lead the way by committing to decarbonising their owned and contracted fleet by 2040.

By joining EV100+, business leaders will shape the EV policy and market landscape for the future.
