Decarbonisation of freight transport: which energies should I choose?
If you want to decarbonise your transport activity by removing diesel vehicles from your fleet, there are several solutions and energy types available to you.
You can choose natural gas. This solution is mature and gives immediate decarbonisation results because it is easy to adapt an existing fleet to this. However, these savings are negligible when the gas used comes from fossil-based methane: only 2% of CO2 emissions saved compared to diesel. The biogas solution reduces CO2 emissions further but engines still release nitrogen oxides (Nox) and will be banned from city centres in the medium term.
Another option is biodiesel. This is less expensive and easier to use, and it reduces emissions by 75% but there are still obstacles to its development. These include the need for a specially-adapted tank and the consideration that the production of vegetable oil is mainly reserved for the agrifood sector and this is expected to still be the case in the coming years.
The third option: hydrogen, its "energy performance" is also dependant on its origin. This is very interesting from an environmental point of view if it is "blue" or "green", that is to say with the capture of the CO2 released during its production, it is much less so if it is of fossil origin. The production of blue hydrogen remains prohibitively expensive and it will not be viable for use in road transport for at least a decade.
Finally, the last solution, and the most effective, is electricity. Electrical technology, boosted by the automobile industry, has made significant progress in recent years. Again, performances in terms of decarbonisation depend on the origin of the electricity. When the electricity comes from renewable or nuclear sources like in France, CO2 emissions savings are 82%. It is not the case when it comes from sources with high CO2 emissions such as coal or gas. However, the trend in European countries is a policy for the decarbonisation of electricity, and emissions linked to the production of electricity could be halved by 2040. In terms of cost, the expectation is that, in 2030, it will be more advantageous in terms of TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) to drive electric trucks rather than diesel ones.
1. Knowledge and understanding of the decarbonisation options
"What are the different options for lowering CO2 emissions?"
"Are battery electric trucks the right choice for me?"
This is the first phase of our 360° support. Our teams take the time to understand your needs and constraints, all contextualised in your ecosystem and activity. We also discuss your decarbonisation objectives with you. We offer you our expertise and our knowledge to advise you what is available on the market to decarbonise your activity.
2. Diagnosztika: Javasoljuk az Ön igényeinek legmegfelelőbb megoldást.
"Hogyan érhetem el a CO2-csökkentési céljaimat?"
"Hogyan tudom biztosítani, hogy a flottám évek alatt alkalmazkodjon a következő szabályozásokhoz?"
"Biztos, hogy az autonómia elegendő az útvonalaimhoz?"
A diagnózis második szakasza, amely az ügyfél tevékenységének pontos ismeretén alapul, beleértve a flotta és az útvonalak elemzését, valamint a telephelyek elektromos berendezéseinek elemzését. Ez magában foglalja a szimulációs eszközök használatát, amelyek segítik az ügyfeleket a döntéshozatalban és a tevékenységük nyomon követésében, mint például a szén-dioxid-kibocsátás csökkentésének szimulátora és az autonómia-szimulátor. A diagnózist követően a Renault Trucks részletes ajánlást ad az ügyfélnek, amely tartalmazza a bevezetési ütemtervet és a CO2-kibocsátás csökkentésének előrejelzését a következő évekre.
3. A megoldás megtervezése: Mi vagyunk az Ön projektjének tervezői
"Kipróbálhatom a járművet valós körülmények között egy ideig?"
"Tudja-e Ön a teljes megoldást megtervezni az összes szükséges partnerrel együtt (töltés stb.)?"
Ezután egy olyan szakasz következik, amelynek során a Renault Trucks a dekarbonizációs projekt építészévé válik, és az ügyféllel együtt építi ki az új elektromos mobilitási ökoszisztémát. A megoldás magában foglalja a finanszírozást, figyelembe véve a helyi vagy kormányzati támogatásokat, a teljes teherautó meghatározását és beállítását a felszereléssel és a karosszériával, a helyszíni töltőberendezéseket, a karbantartási szerződéseket stb. Ebben a fázisban a Renault Trucks egy elektromos teherautót bocsát az Ügyfél rendelkezésére, hogy azt valós munkakörülmények között tesztelhesse.
4. Implementation and operation of the proposed solution
"Can you manage my project through to completion, including all stakeholders?"
"Can you help my drivers, who are a little anxious, get to grips with these new trucks?"
"During the operational phase, can you help me with monitoring and coaching for increased efficiency?"
Renault Trucks acts as the project manager for your decarbonisation solution and is your preferred contact. We work on all of this project's stages together and bring all the stakeholders together so that your fleet of electric vehicles works properly and meets all your targets. We ensure compliance with quality standards.
Optifleet can be used to track your trucks on a daily basis. Our fleet management solution is perfectly adapted to tracking electric trucks and provides special reports on battery use and its range in real time.
We can also help with training your staff in these new practices, along with your drivers. The driving of electric vehicles is rather specific. By applying the principles of economical driving and by knowing the specificities of an electric vehicle, a driver can increase the range of their vehicle considerably.
Finally, we manage the second life of batteries once their first life in your trucks is over. They will be collected by our network to be reconditioned and then reused. At the end of their second life, we recycle them and reuse the components.
