Download an informative presentation from Jim Arthurs of the Transport Project that provides a detailed look at the challenges faced by the trucking industry to successfully deploy zero emission heavy duty trucks, including:

• The supply chain of minerals to support vehicle electrification;
• Expansion of the electric grid and charging capacity, or expansion of hydrogen fueling capacity;
• Trucks that effectively do the work required.

He describes how the realities of achieving true net zero are not likely what is envisioned and prescribed by the rulemaking authorities, and that the prescribed path is unlikely to achieve the desired result.

In addition, he shows how embracing Renewable Natural Gas as a carbon-reducing technology, in addition to electric technologies, provides a lower risk, lower cost, faster path to reducing GHG emissions for HD trucks.
