Trucks have a major impact on global warming, the air we breathe, and the safety of pedestrians, cyclists and other road users.
While only accounting for 2% of the vehicles on the road in the European Union, trucks are responsible for 22% of road transport CO2 emissions and 15% of road collision fatalities, which is 4,000 EU citizens a year.
Road freight transport is projected to increase by 56% between 2010 and 2050. This means Europe needs to tackle truck emissions urgently to decarbonise transport.
The good news is that the EU is acting and that technology is developing rapidly too. Europe’s first truck CO2 standards were agreed upon in 2019. In another first, Europe also agreed a ‘direct vision’ standard for trucks in 2019, along with design changes to enable truck-makers build safer and more aerodynamic cabs. But much, remains to be done.
Beeuda is using the power of cryptocurrency to engage in the EU’s vision of bringing more eco-friendly trucks to the road. We hope to build new trucks that are not only eco-friendly but also road-safe for cyclists and people.
