Sustainability is a very important topic globally and in the EU. In the Fit for 55 programme the Commission outlines all measures to reach the goals for 2030. These goals are ambitious, but it is important for all of us to keep the global warming within the famous lines of 1,5 degree warming. The use of LONGER AND HEAVIER VEHICLES can be seen as an innovation which is directly applicable as a measure.
