Non-Road Transport
Transitioning cars, vans and trucks to electric, hydrogen or biofuels is only part of the picture. Vehicles used in construction, agriculture, marine and aviation must play their part too, and as the red diesel rebate is phased out across sectors, the financial pressure to find low emission alternatives is growing.
It’s not yet clear which technology, or combination of technologies, will power these vehicles beyond 2030. Battery electric, hydrogen and biofuels such as HVO could all play a role, and each sector brings its own operational challenges. Real-world technology demonstration is critical to validate what actually works before committing to a technology at scale.
The technology that decarbonises a truck won’t necessarily decarbonise an excavator or a marine vessel. Each sector needs its own evidence before it commits.
Questions we help you answer
- Which low emission technologies suit our non-road vehicles and equipment?
- How does the phase-out of the red diesel rebate affect our costs and options?
- What’s the real-world performance of alternatives like HVO, hydrogen or electric in our sector?
- How do we trial new technology before committing to it at scale?
- What infrastructure would we need to support a transition away from diesel?
- What can we learn from how road transport sectors have approached this?
