The majority of the so-called German Council of Economic Experts is certain about which technology the German government should promote to decarbonize freight transport: electric trucks. „We recommend focusing government support on the development of a charging infrastructure,“ said Monika Schnitzler, Chair of the German Council of Economic Experts, on Wednesday. The technology has reached a „high level of market maturity, even in heavy goods traffic.“ She said there are many synergies with developing a charging infrastructure for cars, and this technology could significantly affect climate action by 2030.
