Zero-emission freight ¨C from long-haul to last mile: IRU-POLIS webinar 1

online | ·¬ÇÑÊÓÆµevent

POLIS and ·¬ÇÑÊÓÆµare co-hosting a webinar series focusing on the decarbonisation of road freight transport, connecting long-haul and last-mile operations. 

This series of three panel discussions will offer a forum for cities, regions and the European freight industry to identify what is needed to maintain efficient goods transport in (peri-)urban areas and across long distances while creating a high living standard in Europe. 

POLIS and ·¬ÇÑÊÓÆµinvite you to register for the introductory webinar on 13 February 2024, from 15:00 to 16:00 CET.

Both organisations are convening a diverse group of entities in three online meetings to discuss the EU roadmap towards climate neutrality by 2050. 

·¬ÇÑÊÓÆµand POLIS will highlight different aspects of zero-emission logistics. Exchanges between industry leaders, cities and innovative EU-funded projects will share zero-emission freight solutions and information on the full spectrum of road freight transport. 

The webinar series will also provide an opportunity for EU-funded projects to present preliminary results, based on real-world piloting of physical and digital equipment for heavy-duty vehicles.

The first webinar will introduce the challenges of decarbonising the European road freight industry, while limiting the current negative externalities of heavy-duty vehicles in (peri-)urban areas and on the European road network. 

POLIS and ·¬ÇÑÊÓÆµhave set up these three webinars as roundtable discussions between industry, cities and European projects to discuss innovative concepts, policy proposals and decarbonisation strategies to reach climate neutrality by 2050.

·¬ÇÑÊÓÆµand POLIS invite you to the second and third webinars.
