Hydrogen Europe Position Paper February 2023 CO2 Emission Standards for Heavy-Duty Vehicles
Hydrogen Europe welcomes the intention to revise existing CO2 emissions standard limits for heavyduty vehicles as the road transport sector is rapidly moving towards cleaner and zero-emission propulsion systems.
Hydrogen Europe Position Paper February 2023 CO2 Emission Standards for Heavy-Duty Vehicles
As the Call for Evidence for an Impact Assessment states, “[…] current standards will not be a sufficient incentive for the investment in zero-emission vehicles that are necessary to reduce emissions in this sector”.1
In the context of the proposed revision, high ambition should go together with a technology-neutral approach.
Ahead of the publication of the new proposal, Hydrogen Europe would like to stress the following:
• Maintain a definition that allows all eligible hydrogen-powered solutions to contribute to clean mobility. • Include all vehicle types in the scope and set dedicated targets for trailers and semi-trailers.
• Work on enabling conditions: a dense, pan-European hydrogen refuelling network, robust supporting schemes, and favourable road tolls are just a part of what is needed to make hydrogen-powered heavy-duty vehicles more affordable and attractive to end users and fleet operators

Lithium-Ion Battery Breakthroughs
There is certainly room in the lithium-ion battery market for a design that offers substantially higher energy density than standard LiIon batteries, and the first subject of this post, NanoGraf, certainly offers that.
