SEGMENT TWO

Clean Mobility Solutions in the United States Densely Populated Cities
A Focus on MDHV

The future of transportation is electric. As the number of PEVs surpasses 1.4 million and charging stations exceed 61,000, the U.S. is leading the way. Join us to explore the latest trends and technologies shaping the future of clean mobility. With $735 million in EPA funding for 2,400 new clean heavy-duty vehicles and a 9% shift towards biofuels in medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, the future of sustainable transportation is here.

MHDVs & EV CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE

To accelerate the clean energy transition in transportation, the U.S. must expand charging infrastructure, invest in fast-charging technologies, promote biofuels, and explore e-fuels. These measures will significantly reduce emissions and pave the way for a sustainable future.
