COP28 Progress Update

At COP27, Breakthrough Agenda governments called on the leading initiatives to continue working toward setting common and coordinated zero-emission vehicle transition targets and to send a global collective market signal in support of a Paris Agreement-aligned future. They nominated the Accelerating to Zero Coalition to coordinate across the initiatives and to review and communicate progress at COP28.

Highlights

Progress Toward a Paris-Aligned ZEV Transition

Countries representing 13% of global LDV sales, have set voluntary ZEV targets or proposed policies for LDVs

Countries representing 17% of global LDV sales, have adopted binding policies for LDVs

Countries have adopted binding policies for MHDVs

Countries representing 20% of global MHDV sales, have set voluntary ZEV targets for MHDVs

EV100

Commitment:

Transition signatory-owned and contracted van and MDV fleets to zero-emission by 2030 (100% of vehicles weighing less than 3.5 tons and 50% of those weighing 3.5 tons to 7.5 tons). Establish charging infrastructure for employees and customers.

Impact: Annual reduction of 6.24 million tCO2e is anticipated once all committed vehicles are electrified by 2030.

EV100+

Commitment:

100% ZE-MDV (weighing 7.5 tons to 20 tons) purchases for owned and contracted vehicles. 100% ZE-MHDVs for owned and contracted operations by 2040.

Impact:

Over 90,000 trucks will be zero-emission vehicles by 2040.

First Movers Coalition — Trucking

Commitment:

Trucking owners and operators commit to making at least 30% of their purchases of new heavy-duty trucks, along with 100% of their purchases of new medium-duty trucks, zero-emission by 2030.

Impact:

50% EV sales by 2025; transition to complete electrification, wherever feasible according to market conditions

Fleet Electrification Coalition

Commitment:

Leading shippers and fleet owners commit to deploying 50,000 electric trucks by 2026, adding enough scale to the market so that at least 30% of sales of new MHDVs are electric by 2030 in the U.S., Europe, China, and India.

Global MOU on ZE-MHDVs

Commitment:

100% zero-emission new truck and bus sales by 2040 with an interim goal of 30% zero-emission vehicle sales by 2030

Impact:

Cumulative 7.8 Gt CO2 will be avoided from 2023 to 2050 through new ZE-MHDVs if ambitions of current signatories are achieved.

Zero-Emission Government Fleet Declaration

Commitment:

100% ZEV civil government-owned and -operated light-duty fleets, and acquisitions of ZE-MHDVs, by 2035.

Zero Emission Vehicles Declaration

Commitment:

100% ZEV sales for cars and vans by 2035 in leading markets and 2040 globally

Impact:

Cumulative 9.2 Gt CO2 emissions will be avoided between 2023 to 2050 if the ambitions of current signatories are achieved.
