WASHINGTON, DC, Sept. 21, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As leaders gather in New York during Climate Week NYC, given the scale of the challenge and the rich diversity of the global energy economy, all decarbonization options for transportation in Systems and transport requirements are considered.
“There is no doubt that the opportunities for zero-emission commercial vehicle technology are increasing, particularly in the United States and Europe. At the same time, the benefits of these technologies are comparatively remote, but the short-term reduction in CO2 emissions is considered extremely important to meet the internationally declared CO2 reduction targets. This is an important opportunity to leverage the most advanced generations of internal combustion engines and the vast body of existing vehicles and equipment through the use of clean fuels that work for everyone,” said Allen Schaeffer, executive director of the Diesel Technology Foruma non-profit educational group.
“Today, diesel engines deliver significant benefits to society in the form of efficient and clean energy, and they can do much more. A Recent study Evaluation of options for commercial truck fleets in ten northeastern states found that by 2032, a three-fold reduction in carbon emissions at 25% of the cost of electrification can be achieved by accelerating the transition of older trucks to new diesel models with advanced technology and low-carbon use , renewable biodiesel fuels across the fleet.”
“Even with some of the most aggressive moves toward zero-emission vehicles, diesel trucks are expected to dominate the trucking sector for well over a decade, as 80% of truck sales will still be diesel by 2030. New and more efficient commercial diesel trucks on the road in the US since 2007 have already saved more than 20 billion gallons of fuel and eliminated more than 202 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions (2007 and 2020).
