At last week’s conference held by the Association of European Vehicle Logistics (ECG) in Brussels, delegates discussed what the EU’s carbon neutral targets for 2050 meant for the sector
The demand is clear: a carbon neutral Europe by 2050. However, the complexities in achieving this target are myriad, especially for the vehicle logistics industry.
At last week’s conference held by the Association of European Vehicle Logistics (ECG) in Brussels, its president Wolfang Gobel talked about the pressures the sector was under in meeting the strict rules on decarbonisation. He asked who would fund the changes necessary to meet the targets and who would be left when operating under the new regime. However, it was clear that the finished vehicle logistics sector would be part of the carbon-free future.
