In this episode of GreenChat, we discuss vehicle technology choices for decarbonising the transportation sector.
While some form of electric vehicle technology is becoming the go-to solution for light duty segments such as passenger cars and smaller vehicles, there are several evolving options for more energy-intensive transportation segments such as heavy duty vehicles, aviation, and shipping. We discuss the options available and the considerations for making informed decisions to decarbonise these segments.
