Electric vehicles and hydrogen fuel vehicles may be dominant, but the truck industry is also developing a green campaign

Controlling emissions is not necessarily all or all. Renewable diesel and natural gas can produce a "dual green effect", reducing carbon emissions and costs.
In the freight industry, discussions on sustainability are mainly focused on hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and pure electric vehicles: which one will dominate?
But this is not necessarily the future.
"No fuel or energy source can dominate the future like the diesel of the past 100 years. It will be open to many different technologies-and it should be."
Hugh Donnell said in a recent webinar on sustainable fleet status. He is engaged in business growth and development in the Cummins Westport joint venture.
Downer said Cummins has invested heavily in optimizing diesel and biodiesel products. It is also exploring fuel cell vehicles, pure electric vehicles, gasoline and natural gas.
Optimize diesel to achieve "dual green effect"
Controlling emissions is not necessarily all or all. There are several stages between zero emissions and a large-scale carbon footprint, which can be achieved through strategies applicable today.
Drew Cullen, senior vice president of fuel and facility services for Penske Transportation Solutions, said in the webinar that Penske worked with customers to reduce emissions while still using diesel. He did not mention the customer's name, but pointed out that the company has more than 20 trucks, some of which are more than 10 years old.
When talking about customers, Cullen said: "Due to various reasons, not just cost issues, their operations are really not suitable for any alternative fuel technology currently in use."
