Transport in Europe accounts for around 25 per cent of the continent&#8217;s carbon emissions. A significant proportion of that comes from heavy-duty haulage vehicles. Goods transportation isn\u2019t something we can live without &#8211; unless we want empty shops and supermarkets. But how can we reduce the environmental impact of haulage? Euronews Green spoke to Swedish vehicle manufacturer Scania to find out more about its quest to solve this problem.<\/p>\n<p>A truck produced right now is expected to last for around 15 &#8211; 20 years which means there are lots of pretty old trucks driving around Europe. It\u2019d be practically impossible and impractical for a variety of reasons to take all the old vehicles off the road and replace them with the newest and most efficient trucks. \u201cWe&#8217;re exploring all sorts of options and looking at solar powered trucks was one of those options,\u201d Eric Falkgrim, technology leader for vehicle design at Scania, tells Euronews.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd for me personally, it was more thinking about the battery electric trucks that we have right now. Ten to 15 years ago they were too expensive but with increased energy density and lower costs, all of a sudden it became interesting. \u201cAnd so the thought was similar with solar power &#8211; that if the efficiency increases and the costs keep decreasing, at some point it&#8217;ll be worth it. And that&#8217;s what we&#8217;re trying to explore.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usu.edu\/today\/story\/move-over-blitzen-geese-outpace-reindeer-impacts-on-arctic-ecosystems\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><br \/>\nSource: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2023\/12\/15\/could-the-worlds-first-solar-power-truck-be-the-answer-to-decarbonising-haulage\">Euronews Green<\/a> <\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/122656\/\">Could the world\u2019s first solar power truck be the answer to decarbonising haulage?<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,959,1332,848,1118],"class_list":["post-119647","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-power","tag-solar","tag-sweden","tag-truck"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119647","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=119647"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119647\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=119647"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=119647"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=119647"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
