Decarbonising road transport and developing the necessary skills took centre stage at this week¡¯s Green Impact Expo & Summit in Morocco, where ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½laid out actionable strategies for a sustainable, skilled future in mobility.
At the Green Impact Expo & Summit in Casablanca, Morocco, this week, hosted by the F¨¦d¨¦ration Du Transport Et De La Logistique, ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½participated in two panels, presenting actionable solutions for decarbonising road transport through workforce training and sector professionalisation.
During the first panel, ¡°Decarbonisation of Transport: Strategic Framework for a Successful Energy Transition¡±, ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½showcased how its Green Compact ¨C a collective global action to achieve carbon neutrality in commercial road transport by 2050 ¨C is driving decarbonisation efforts.
ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½Director of Certification and Standards Patrick Philipp said, ¡°The ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½Green Compact study has shown that we can reduce 50% of road transport¡¯s carbon emissions through efficiency measures. These actions can be implemented today.¡±
The Green Compact¡¯s ¡°dual approach¡± to decarbonising road transport leverages both efficiency measures and alternative fuels.
Efficiency measures cover logistics (retiming, route optimisation and eco-trucks), vehicles (tyres, lightweighting and advanced lubrication), and drivers (eco-driving, skills monitoring and certification schemes). The second level of action focuses on building a robust, practical and economic transition to alternative fuels.
¡°Of the significant 50% reduction in emissions, 15% can be achieved through eco-driving training. Transport operators can lower both costs and emissions by improving driving efficiency,¡± highlighted Patrick Philipp.
