Empower

The European Commission has funded the EMPOWER project in response to the ambitious new CO2 emissions targets proposed for new heavy-duty vehicles (HDVs) from 2030 onwards. With road transport accounting for one fifth of the total greenhouse gas emissions in the EU and showing an increasing trend, it has become crucial to address this sector’s impact on the environment.

The EMPOWER project aims to provide new emission standards that contribute to the broader context of increased EU climate ambition by 2030 and the ultimate goal of EU climate neutrality by 2050, promoting the shift towards zero-emission mobility.
