  4. EU27 reference scenario: tonne-km Source: PRIMES modeling for Commission Impact Assessments

  5. How can related GHG emissions be addressed? More efficient vehicles – new engines and designs Cleaner energy – new fuels and propulsion systems More optimal use of transport networks – information and communication systems

  6. Which policy tools? No one solution Broad mix of policies will be required Technical innovation May not be able to contribute all improvements Regulation Where market failings occur Price signals Generic and/or specific?

  7. Emerging HDV strategy Mix of policy instruments Engine technologies, aerodynamics etc. Eco-driving Pricing Measurement methodology Baseline necessary

  8. Conclusion Freight transport is necessary for society and economic growth The challenge is reconciling these necessities with a CO2 reduction target of 60% Innovation and technical development is key but will not alone achieve stated goals Parallel policy instruments are also needed
