Achieving A Low Carbon Future For Road Freight Transport

The drive to decarbonise is now at the top of the political agenda in many countries around the world and the transport sector, which is responsible for a substantial proportion of emissions, is only at the beginning of the decarbonisation journey. This is particularly challenging to road freight transport which still relies on the diesel-fueled internal combustion engine. Electric vehicles may not be the answer for heavy goods vehicles and innovation is required to develop workable solutions in this important segment.

Mark Bartholomew spoke to Simon Brewster and Nick Owen from Dolphin N2 about the alternatives to electric vehicles, including the recuperated split cycle engine being developed by their company and the potential contribution that such technology has to make in driving down carbon levels.
