T-1B1b-TE-1 - Shift to gas heavy trucks
Background¶
IPCC WG3 definition: M-1A-11 - Alternative Fuels for Vehicles.
TBD
Sustainability Category: Amber¶
This transition element has only moderate climate impact but may be necessary for maintaining urban needs, with a clear pathway to decarbonization. While not aligned with net-zero targets, this transition element is actively improving the emissions profile and represents intermediate performance on the path to sustainability.
