A unique alliance of brands and retailers – including Nestlé, Unilever, REWE Group and AB InBev – transport industry players and NGOs have called on the new European Commission to set sales targets for zero-emissions trucks and vans. In a letter, the 30 businesses, haulier companies and associations, and cities and regions told incoming EU climate chief Frans Timmermans that binding truck and van sales targets for 2025 and 2030 – as part of his European Green Deal – are needed to overcome a lack of supply of the clean vehicles they have been calling for.
