07/02/2023 (Agence Europe) – The NGO International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) published a study on Monday 6 February in which it highlights that battery-electric trucks and buses emit 63% fewer emissions over their lifetime than those using diesel. These results, the ICCT points out, are based on an average power system mix that is not entirely renewable. According to ICCT projections, emission reductions could peak at 92% in cases where the electricity used is entirely renewable. For trucks and buses running on hydrogen, the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions is between 15 and 33% compared to those running on diesel. If this hydrogen were produced solely from renewable electricity, emissions could be reduced by up to 89%. (TM)
