Panel:
The need to reduce emissions from heavy duty transport is immense, and now the focus on electrifying trucks is growing globally. How difficult is it to do and how fast can it happen? Will even long-haul trucks be electric and will we manage to build the necessary infrastructure? Meet Man Trucks, one of the innovators behind heavy duty vehicles and hear from front runner ASKO, Norway’s largest grocery wholesaler, about their bold move towards full electrification. They will be joined by Green Transport Norway which is a public-private partnership involving the entire transport value chain to reduce emissions in Norway.
