SUMMARY:Powered by Renewables: Zero-Emission Freight Corridors for a Global Transition
DESCRIPTION:Decarbonizing trucking and urban freight is essential to meeting national and global climate goals. Freight and urban delivery corridors—critical arteries of trade\, logistics\, and daily life—offer powerful opportunities to accelerate this transition by aligning infrastructure\, finance\, and policy along shared routes. \nThe EV100+\, the Global Green Road Corridors (GGRC) initiative and the Zero Emission Vehicle Emerging Markets Initiative (ZEV-EMI) bring together governments\, industry leaders\, and financiers from over ten countries to design and implement real-world zero-emission freight corridors\, demonstrating how long-haul and urban transport can be powered by clean\, renewable energy. These corridors serve as living laboratories for implementation\, where clean energy\, logistics planning\, and public-private finance converge to reduce fossil fuel dependence\, strengthen energy security\, and unlock new economic opportunities. Together\, these initiatives are turning ambition into action—linking urban and regional systems to make electric\, renewable-powered transport the new normal by 2030. \nThis session will explore innovative finance and implementation models for zero-emission freight corridors and cities\, including total cost of ownership (TCO) insights and blended-finance approaches. It will highlight progress from Mexico and discuss the potential to decarbonize Australia’s Hume Highway\, a flagship opportunity to demonstrate scalable\, renewable-powered freight and urban logistics transformation. \nThis event will feature announcements on:\n\nMexico Collective action & investment partnership to scale light and heavy-duty vehicles on the northern Mexico corridor and in selected cities\nThe Hume Highway\, Australia’s first Global Green Road Corridor (GGRC)\, with early deployments planned for COP31 under the Sydney–Melbourne Powered by Renewables Truck Corridor\nHow corridors leverage renewable energy\, infrastructure\, and policy alignment to accelerate zero-emission freight\n\nFeatured Experts:\n\n\n\nSita Holtslag\, Europe Director\, CALSTART / Drive to Zero \n\n\nAlicia Bárcena\, Secretary of Environment and Natural Resources (SEMARNAT)\, Mexico*\n\n\nNic Dorward\, Director\, Government Relations\, Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA)\n\n\nAndreas Kammel\, Vice President\, Sustainability and Regulatory Affairs\, TRATON GROUP\n\n\nRainer Knobloch\, Co-Founder & Chief Strategy & Operating Officer\, NewVolt\n\n\nConcepción Boo Arias\, Head of Global Partnerships & Enablement\, Maersk\n\n\nSimon Henzell-Thomas\, Global Director\, Climate & Nature\, IKEA*\n\n\nDiane Holdorf \, Executive Vice President\, World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD)\n\n\nSebastian Salter\, Director\, International Climate and Energy Division Department of Climate Change\, Energy\, the Environment and Water\, Government of Australia
