One eHGV Could Save 1000 Tonnes of Carbon

Hitachi ZeroCarbon and GRIDSERVE have today published the fourth report from the Electric Freightway project, revealing that a single electric heavy goods vehicle (eHGV) could cut approximately 1,000 tonnes of carbon emissions by 2034, when compared with a diesel equivalent – an amount that would take 50,000 trees a year to absorb. The findings highlight the significant role electric trucks can play in decarbonising road freight, drawing on insi…

Electric Freightway project highlights big carbon savings

A single electric heavy goods vehicle could cut around 1,000 tonnes of carbon emissions by 2034 compared to a diesel equivalent, according to new research. The findings in Hitachi ZeroCarbon and Gridserve’s fourth report from the Electric Freightway project, highlights the role electric trucks can play in decarbonising road freight, drawing on insights gathered from real-world operations across the UK. The Electric Freightway project is part of …

Hitachi ZeroCarbon and GRIDSERVE have published the fourth report from the Electric Freightway project, revealing that a single electric heavy goods vehicle (eHGV) could cut approximately 1,000 tonnes of carbon emissions by 2034 compared with a diesel equivalent – the same amount of CO₂ that would take 50,000 trees a year to absorb. The findings underscore the potential of electric trucks to play a central role in decarbonising UK road freight, …
