Manifesto for Zero-emission Trucks and Buses

Manifesto for Zero-emission Trucks and Buses

11 April 2024

Trucks and buses are not just bigger cars. They operate in a business-to-business market, serving a myriad of different uses and are mostly on the move.

Europe's policy makers must better account for these differences. That's why leading EU truck and bus makers have pioneered this Manifesto with five policy recommendations specifically for the truck and bus sector.

The #FutureDriven Manifesto for Zero-emission Trucks and Buses caters to the specific challenges and needs of Europe's truck and bus market. Complementing the #FutureDriven manifesto concerning all vehicles, it outlines specific policy recommendations for the business-to-business truck and bus market.  

Whether it's regulatory coherency, boosting market uptake, enhancing connectivity and automation, technology neutrality, or safeguarding global competitiveness, effective policies are integral to getting zero-emission trucks and buses on Europe's roads.

Europe's policy makers must better account for these differences. That's why leading EU truck and bus makers have pioneered this Manifesto with five policy recommendations specifically for the truck and bus sector.
