Heavy Duty Vehicles: Efficiency Opportunity, Options, Demonstration and Barriers - Presentation

• HDVs represent an opportunity to cost effectively decarbonise the UK energy system across a range of abatement and cost levels
• In the first instance, the ETI’s efficiency projects have shown that a 30% reduction in fuel efficiency across the UK fleet can be achieved with reasonable payback periods
• Properly sourced and managed natural gas when coupled to a low methane slip powertrain can provide further CO₂(equivalent) benefits
• As the UK transitions to a very low CO₂ energy system (circa 2040 to 2050), further ‘carbon priced’ HDV options could become attractive
• The marginal carbon price will be a function ofthe other technologies deployed in the energy system (e.g. CCS versus no CCS), but thresholds can be set using the ETI’s ESME tool
• Barriers exist in the uptake of fuel efficiency technologies and new tools, techniques and policies are required to overcome them –a subject for future work
