Project Abstract

Full decarbonisation of the Irish road freight sector requires a shift to new technologies and energy carriers, such as electric vehicles, electric roads/e-highways, hydrogen or fuel cell trucks and power-to-liquid options along with renewable liquid fuels. This project will review international and European best practices and benchmark the Irish HDV fleet in order to reach the goal of Net Zero Emissions by 2050 (NZE2050).
