Berlin\/Warsaw, 21 May<\/strong>. A new report from the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) reveals a major cost-saving opportunity for Poland\u2019s freight industry. Leveraging a provision under the European Union\u2019s Renewable Energy Directive (RED III), truck operators could significantly reduce costs and accelerate the shift to electric vehicles in Europe\u2019s top goods transporter by volume.<\/p>\n

The provision, which is pending implementation by the Polish government, allows entities supplying renewable electricity to electric vehicles to earn tradeable credits. These credits can be sold to fuel suppliers to use towards renewable energy use targets.<\/p>\n

The study estimates that, by 2030, the total cost of ownership (TCO) of a battery electric truck in Poland\u2014including the costs of purchase, maintenance, and operation\u2014could be reduced by up to 10% through the use of electricity credits, representing significant savings for fleet operators in a sector with narrow margins.<\/p>\n

\u201cCrediting the charging that occurs at depots would help Poland’s heavy-duty vehicle sector cut costs and accelerate fleet electrification<\/em>,” said Chelsea Baldino, Lead of the ICCT Fuels Program. “Policymakers now have an opportunity to strengthen this critical sector of Poland\u2019s economy by crediting the charging happening at depots, including those privately owned, during national implementation of the RED III<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

With added short-term incentives, electric trucks could become even cheaper to own and operate than diesel trucks. For a model year 2030 truck, with crediting in place, the battery electric trucks have a 24% lower TCO than their diesel counterparts.<\/p>\n

Poland, one of Europe\u2019s largest freight transport markets, has yet to fully implement RED III provisions. Extending credit eligibility to depot charging\u2014including at privately owned sites\u2014could strengthen both the environmental performance and economic competitiveness of the country\u2019s logistics sector.<\/p>\n
