Towards a more sustainable transport system
Transport underpins our society. It connects people, cities, countries and economies, fostering growth and employment. Nevertheless, transport remains a major source of environmental pressures in Europe, accounting for more than a fifth of greenhouse gas emissions, most of which are generated by road transport.
Greenhouse gas emissions from heavy-duty vehicles — trucks, buses and coaches — have increased in the European Union almost every year since 2014, mainly due to increasing demand for freight transport.
