📣 A world first: Transdev, Tallano Technologies and IVECO BUS present a solution for recovering fine particles generated by bus braking systems. 📊 Studies and tests of this anti-pollution device are underway, with a view to real-life testing in the fall of 2024. The system works in 4 stages: ▪ Suction: thanks to a groove created in the brake pad ▪ Retention: over 70% of fine and ultra-fine particles are captured ▪ Particle filtration ▪ Recycling of collected particles ✅ European legislation provides a framework for environmental standards for combustion engine emissions. Between now and 2030, it will be supplemented by a section on "non-exhaust" particulate emissions, i.e. those coming from braking systems in particular. The innovation developed and tested by Transdev, Tallano Technologies and IVECO BUS aims to offer a solution that will meet these future requirements. ➡ Find out more: https://lnkd.in/e6_BBQfZ #innovation #SustainableMobility #TheMobilityCompany

🚗 The European Parliament adopts Euro 7: Moving towards stricter standards for cleaner vehicles! 🌍💨 A step has just been taken with the European Parliament's adoption of the agreement on the #Euro7 regulation. This agreement maintains the current Euro 6 test conditions and emissions limits for passenger cars and commercial vehicles. However, stricter limits will be applied for buses and trucks, both in the laboratory and under real driving conditions, while retaining the current Euro 6 test conditions. 🚚 Euro 7 also incorporates caps on particulate emissions from brakes and tires, with thresholds set at 3 mg/km for fully electric vehicles, 7 mg/km for most internal combustion engines, including hybrid electric and fuel cell vehicles, and 11 mg/km for larger internal combustion engine vans. At #ActBlue France, we are closely monitoring the application of this standard. We have optimised and effective solutions to support vehicle and engine manufacturers.

Truckmakers are very clear and united in their messages: Zero-emission vehicles are ready and the offerings will expand further. But it takes much more to get them on the road: sufficient depot charging and a dense public charging infrastructure network suitable for heavy-duty vehicles are largely missing; green energy and a comprehensive policy framework in all Member States that encourages and supports transport operators to switch, ... No doubt: Many stakeholders are working actively on solutions across the value chain, but much more must be done quickly to enable this transition. The #enablingconditions determine the pace of this transition! European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA) Harald Seidel 👇👇👇

By loading cars vertically into specially designed railcars, this innovative method maximized space efficiency, allowing up to 30 cars per boxcar compared to the conventional 18, ultimately reducing freight costs by up to 40%. 𝗚𝗠 𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿𝘀 spearheaded the development of the Vert-A-Pac, implementing unique oil baffles to prevent spills, customized carburetors and batteries, and plastic spacers to safeguard the powertrain during transit. This pioneering approach not only ensured cost savings but also guaranteed the secure delivery of vehicles, marking a significant milestone in car transport efficiency. The Vert-A-Pac stands as a testament to 𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆, showcasing how 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝘀, 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 and out-of-the-box thinking can lead to groundbreaking solutions that revolutionize logistics and drive cost-effectiveness. #Innovation #Transportation #AutomotiveIndustry

Three days ago European Parliament adopted some decisions related to heavyweight vehicles emissions and what is essential- #durability of #batteries. Now it is essential that new regulations meet new alternatives potential. We must do everything to make electronic mobility #affordable so that #green trully becomes #affordable and #available. https://lnkd.in/dAcjBP7m

The first Renault Trucks E-Tech T is now up and running with Welch’s Transport, and it's paving the way for greener, more sustainable logistics! This electric powerhouse boasts zero tailpipe emissions, with six 90 kWh batteries and three electric motors, delivering up to 490kW of continuous power and 2400Nm of torque. Coupled to our Optidriver 12-speed automated gearbox, the 42-tonne E-Tech T is ready to handle Welch’s general haulage and pallet distribution across Greater Cambridge and beyond. This milestone marks a significant step in the decarbonisation of road freight transport, as part of the eFREIGHT 2030 consortium’s Zero Emission HGV and Infrastructure Demonstrator (ZEHID) Programme and is funded by the Department for Transport in partnership with Innovate UK. Together, we’re driving the future of zero-emission transport! ✅ #ElectricMobility #GreenTransport #ZeroEmissions

By 2040 there will no longer be the option to purchase new diesel-powered HGVs, yet many of our customers tell us they’re struggling to define their strategy to tackle Scope 3 emissions. Join us on Wednesday 6th November at DIRFT for the Decarbonising Logistics Showcase and discover what options are available now to help your business transition to net zero. Meet our exhibitors: Freightliner Group Ltd, Gasrec, Volvo Trucks UK, Project JOLT, The Malcolm Group Find out more and register here: https://hubs.ly/Q02R2Q-Z0 Each exhibitor will be taking the same approach: - Introduction to BEV, Gas and Rail - Examples of where it works well (FMCG) and what the benefits are - Limitations and constraints – what are the watch-outs (e.g. weight, infrastructure) - What is available now and what is expected within the next 24 months - How the lifetime cost compares with current diesel options and how you can achieve the optimal return on investment #supplychain #logistics #greenlogistics #sustainablelogistics

NO U-TURNS // 🚗⚡ The UK Government's unwavering commitment to the Zero Emission Vehicle (#ZEV) mandate is a pivotal step towards a sustainable future. Despite industry pressures, the government has upheld its targets, requiring 22% of new car sales to be electric this year, with plans to increase this to 28% in 2025 and 80% by 2030. This steadfast approach underscores the essential nature of these targets in achieving our nation's net-zero goals. At WeVee, we're dedicated to supporting this transition through our #EcoMute programme. By offering electric vehicles via #SalarySacrifice schemes, we empower businesses and employees to reduce their carbon footprint and embrace sustainable mobility. Together, we're driving the change towards a cleaner, greener future. 🌍 WeVee Together we're electric ⚡ https://lnkd.in/e4hDadsg #ZeroEmissionVehicles #SustainableMobility #EcoMute #TogetherWereElectric
