T-1B1a-TE-6 - Shift to electric light trucks
Background¶
IPCC WG3 definition: M-1A-12 - Electric Technologies.
Electric trucks cause no tailpipe emissions, thereby directly reducing both greenhouse gas emissions and particulate emissions. Electric trucks also produce less noise, helping to improve the general urban environment.Electric trucks cause more emissions in the production phase than internal combustion engine cars, but cause fewer emissions over the lifetime of the car.

Sustainability Category: Green¶
This transition element substantially contributes to climate change mitigation through significant greenhouse gas reductions, carbon sequestration, or enabling the transition to net-zero emissions. The transition element aligns with science-based pathways to limit global warming and should be prioritized for investment and expansion.
