The coalition of major international companies joined to accelerate the energy transition in transport and logistics unveiled their first seven concrete steps and welcomed three new members.
The Coalition for the Energy of the Future was launched in late 2019 with the goal to accelerate the development of future energies and technologies to sustain new green mobility models and reduce the impact of transport and logistics on climate change.
In order to achieve technological breakthroughs with tangible results by 2030, the Coalition set three main goals that include unlocking a more extensive portfolio of clean energy sources, decreasing the energy consumption per kilometer-equivalent of goods mobility, and reducing the proportion of emissions linked to transport and logistics.
