Reducing emissions in transport - prospects, opportunities and constraints
Reducing the carbon footprint in the TFL industry is not an easy undertaking even for companies which have incorporated such measures into their strategy. Although technological developments are incredibly rapid and support positive change, decarbonising road transport requires facing technical as well as systemic challenges. One of these is certainly the draft of a new EU regulation which envisages achieving very ambitious reduction targets in heavy transport over the next 16 years. Its entry into force could have a positive impact on reducing emissions. However, the effectiveness of legal solutions will depend on the capacity and availability of support infrastructure and the readiness of the whole sector to change.
