L’Union européenne a fixé l’objectif d’atteindre la neutralité carbone à l’horizon 2050, impliquant la décarbonation totale des transports terrestres. L’UE impose aux constructeurs de camions une réduction des émissions de CO2 des poids lourds neufs de 30 % par rapport à 2020. Dans ce contexte, le concept de routes électriques (electric road system) est sérieusement étudié comme moyen efficace pour diminuer les émissions carbone du transport routier longue distance. Le sujet a été abordé lors d’une conférence à Solutrans. 26 November 2021 La transition énergétique au cœur du salon Le salon Solutrans, du 16 au 20 novembre à Lyon, a résonné de tous les enjeux des transports routiers, de la digitalisation au recrutement, en passant par la transition énergétique : centrale, cruciale, fortement débattue… Le salon s’est ainsi ouvert sur la présentation de l’étude Vision’Air, qui imagine les motorisations de demain pour boucler la semaine, vendredi, sur l’annonce, par le ministre des Transports, de 115 millions d’euros aides pour l’électrique. 26 November 2021 Nouveau tracteur de parc chez Kamag 26 November 2021 Indicateurs Journal of Commerce | Port News 29 November 2021 Vancouver port faces slow recovery amid new rainfall [caption caption="As of Monday, there were 10 container ships at anchor awaiting berth at Vancouver, according to AISLive, a sister product of JOC.com within IHS Markit.
