Green hydrogen, made from renewable electricity, can be used as part of a sustainable energy system to provide grid balancing services and to decarbonise a wide range of 'hard to reach' end uses. Once such end-use is the long-haul, heavy-duty trucking sector, where hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are able to provide the long range and fast refuelling required by end users. The deployment of hydrogen trucking must start now and ramp-up quickly if the ambitious emissions reductions targets of net-zero by 2050 are to be achieved. This will allow the sector to scale-up green hydrogen and truck production volumes, and cost reductions to be realised

Reshoring to replace offshoring—an era of sustainability? Recent results from our five-month survey with internationally active Tier 1 automotive suppliers have shown that CEOs and Heads of Operations and Sustainability are starting to rethink their global footprint. Every supplier involved in our study has a global production network, has previously offshored manufacturing activities to low-wage countries, and is thus exposed to reshoring and sustainability decisions.

The Covid-19 pandemic, plant shutdowns, delays at borders and transportation bottlenecks have all come together in a perfect storm to create an unprecedented level of disruption in global supply chains. Torpedoed delivery schedules and material shortages have become the norm rather than the exception. All these factors have highlighted the importance of effective supply chain management to keep global commerce moving. Importantly, they have also accelerated the widespread adoption of best practices that are integral to a sustainable supply chain.

Demonstrating compliance for a variety of regulations and requirements can be a relatively challenging process. It usually begins with data collection, followed by a comparison against regulatory and industry requirements before companies conduct an assessment using comprehensive test and analytical protocols. However, substance regulations do not typically reference comprehensive and standardized testing protocols explicitly, which poses additional challenges and requirements for manufacturers and their downstream partners.

While remarkable progress has been made with technological, operational and behavioral improvements in the century-old, automotive-based transport systems used around the world, rapid technological changes are occurring that could amount to a reset in outcomes for transport users. The convergence of connectivity, automation, electrification and on-demand services suggests a transformation in transport safety, community access, traffic efficiency, emissions and energy use.
