Drive to Zero helps nations tackle climate change and

urban pollution while spurring innovation

• Freight fuel consumption and GHGs are forecasted to grow four-fold through 2050.

• Urban regions suffer the worst impacts of air pollution in an increasingly urbanized world.

• Despite being relatively small in number, HDVs represent a disproportionate share of

energy consumption and emissions.

• Technology innovation can spearhead industrial development.

Drive to Zero is a strategic international initiative to

catalyze the growth of zero-emission MHDVs

2025

Beachhead near- and zero-emission

applications for MHDVs are commercially

viable and cost-competitive in target global

markets.

2040Zero-emission MHDVs dominate in their

segments.

Our “beachhead” strategy targets vehicle segments

where zero-emission technology is likely to succeed

Momentum in e-buses creates first steps for commercial vehicles

Electric technology is highly transferable, speeding

production across vehicle types

BYD energy storage modules transferable

across range of bus, truck and grid backup

applications. Inverters, controllers and

voltage distribution units have a high degree

of transferability between bus and truck

platforms.

• Same power train in autonomous electric dump trucks, marine system

Drive to Zero focuses on the “HOW”

TARGET ACTION

• Target first-success beachhead markets where electrification works now. Typically urban applications where vehicles travel along known routes and return to base for charging.

BUILD ECOSYSTEMS

• Build supporting “ecosystems” of success in key first-mover regions made up of aligned policies, incentives, infrastructure, and pilot projects.

COLLABORATE

• Work concurrently and collaboratively between regions and industry worldwide to encourage global supply chain of critical components and manufacturers.

EXPAND

• Expand to succeeding success markets as supply chain grows, costs decrease, and business case expands.

Program was launched last September and has gained incredible momentum

Official Partner event of

Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM 10)

Global Stakeholder Workshop:

Vancouver, Canada – May 28

Canada was the first national government to officially support Drive to Zero

60+ organizations worldwide have signed the Pledge

The Pledge

Cities, governments, manufacturers,

fleets and fuel suppliers agree to:

- Work together to accelerate early

markets for zero- and near-zero

emission trucks, buses and

equipment.

- Share information with peer

regions.

- Access best tools, research,

assistance, data.

Actions underway

RECRUIT. Recruit new partners and strengthen engagement with current partners.

YEAR 1 YEAR 2 YEAR 3

DEVELOP. Expand and share tools to enable partners to take action.

MOBILIZE. Implement leadership structure, and integrate the strategy into the world influencer’s

plans and existing networks.

COMMUNICATE. Disseminate materials, tools, and expertise.

SUPPORT. Support and grow capability of partners in key segments and regions.

MEASURE. Measure progress, adjust course (and accelerate

action).

Drive to Zero is becoming the guiding strategy for organizing partner networks,

and regional partners are being developed in first-mover regions
