Highlights: Electric trucks, the solution to making road transport greener?. Just like the car, the heavy goods vehicle will sooner or later have to say goodbye to the thermal engine. Avere (National Association for the Development of Electric Mobility), in collaboration with the UFE (French Electricity Union), wants to highlight all the advantages that this technological solution would present. According to the Ministry of the Environment, heavy goods vehicles, buses and coaches emitted 22% of greenhouse gases from the transport sector, behind private cars.


Just like the car, the heavy goods vehicle will sooner or later have to say goodbye to the thermal engine. On the occasion of the Transport and Logistics Exhibition


What better opportunity than an International Transport and Logistics Exhibition (SITL), the 41st edition of which is being held in Villepinte (Seine-Saint-Denis) from March 19 to 21, to sift through the small and large approximations that are circulating on the electric truck?

Developed by Avere (National Association for the Development of Electric Mobility), in collaboration with the UFE (French Electricity Union), a document in the form of a true-false, which will be published this Tuesday and that we were able to consult, wants to highlight all the advantages that this technological solution would present.

First of all, for the environment, but also, says the association, for the road transport sector.

Regarding cars, the regulatory timetable is clear: their marketing, when they are equipped with a thermal engine, gasoline or diesel, will no longer be authorized from 2035. Heavy goods vehicles, on the other hand, currently benefit from a exemption.

But for how long ?

“That’s the whole question,” asks Clément Molizon, general delegate of Avere.

The CO2 PL regulations (

for heavy goods vehicles

) already impose a 90% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from 2040 compared to 2019. And to prevent the sector from finding itself sooner or later faced with an impassable wall, it is better so take the lead now.

If only to support the government in the objective it has set for itself, that of dividing its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by five by 2050." According to the Ministry of the Environment , heavy goods vehicles, buses and coaches emitted 22% of greenhouse gases from the transport sector, behind private cars, in 2022.
