As transport plays a critical role in the transition to a low or net-zero emissions economy, we are investing heavily in research and development, and through partnerships to implement a multipronged approach to meet our customers decarbonisation needs. Just as heavy vehicles are used for a diverse range of applications and freight tasks, multiple technologies and fuels will be required for the transport sector’s decarbonisation journey.
