- Carbon Tracker and Transport & Environment will co-host a 60-minute online briefing on 29 September 2026 (15:00–16:00) on Carbon Tracker's recently published report "Trucking's Tipping Point" and an Investor Statement on zero emission freight.
- The session draws on the University of Exeter's FTT model and Carbon Tracker's market and asset data to argue that heavy-truck electrification is becoming an economic rather than a regulatory decision.
- The briefing will assess how exposed European incumbents are to faster-scaling Chinese competitors in heavy-truck electrification.
- Transport & Environment coordinated the Investor Statement on zero emission freight, which will be introduced in the context of the current EU CO₂ standards review.
- For investors, the briefing raises a pointed question over whether automotive and industrials portfolios carry transition risk that is not yet being priced in.
Why it matters: With the EU CO₂ standards review underway, the briefing frames heavy-truck electrification as an economic inevitability rather than a regulatory mandate, casting faster-scaling Chinese competitors as a direct exposure for European incumbents. Investors attending will weigh whether their automotive and industrials holdings already price in that competitive shift.
