Government will need to work hand in hand with the road haulage industry, as the country moves towards a zero-emission future
Minister of State for Transport, Environment & Climate Action, James Lawless, made the admission as FTA Ireland launched its impressive report entitled Decarbonising the Road Freight Sector.
Minister Lawless commented: “The heavy goods road freight sector in Ireland today is almost exclusively fuelled by diesel. But this is going to change as we transition to a zero-emission future. Government and industry will need to continue to work together to overcome the challenges faced in achieving the ambitious targets set. I am impressed with the analysis presented in the FTA Ireland report on Decarbonising the Road Freight Sector and I agree that government investment to support the transition will be critical.
