Public event: Round table on the financing of zero-emission trucks

Although zero-emission trucks (ZETs) have gained substantial momentum in recent years across the EU, fleet owners and operators still face significant barriers to their adoption, including the high upfront investment costs and the uncertainty surrounding the residual value of ZETs. Financing mechanisms and innovative business models for ZET adoption must address the high upfront capital cost of both vehicles and their infrastructure since many fleet owners, particularly Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), lack the financial capacity to make large capital investments.

At the occassion of the publication of study on the financing zero-emission trucks and their infrastructure, the European Clean Trucking Alliance organised a round table on 21 March 2024 in Brussels to discuss about existing solutions and practical experiences as well as explore possible ways forward to improve access to financial mechanisms for companies purchasing zero-emission trucks.
