Road freight accounts for around 7% of the UK’s total CO2 emissions, with long haul and regional deliveries responsible for 70% of this figure. The Task Force on Fuel Efficient, Low Emission HGV (heavy goods vehicle) Technologies is a joint industry/Government initiative aimed at promoting the use of fuel efficient, low emission road freight technologies. The Task Force’s objectives include identifying measures for reducing greenhouse gas emissions without detriment to air quality, and making suggestions on how to implement these measures in a way that would minimise burdens to industry. This report identifies typical HGV duty cycles, their share of CO2 emissions and which technologies and alternative fuels (excluding liquid biofuel) could best reduce these emissions. It then examines the opportunities to overcome the barriers to uptake of these low emission technologies and fuels that offer the greatest potential greenhouse gas savings for different duty cycles.
