There is potential to reduce GHG emissions in the HDV sector through different powertrain options (electric batteries, fuel cell batteries, and combustion engines), and different fuel or energy choices (hydrogen, biofuels, natural gas). The climate impacts of these technologies and fuels vary over the lifetime of the vehicle model. From extracting and processing raw materials to operation and maintenance, some powertrain options are more energy intensive to build than their counterparts, and some fuel sources can produce higher emissions during their production or use. The study uses a life-cycle assessment to analyze the options to allow policymakers and manufacturing companies to compare which powertrain and fuel options provide the largest GHG emissions reductions.
The Government/Industry Meeting technical program is designed to provide an open forum to discuss the critical impacts that legislation has on vehicle design from R&D to customer acceptance.

The Euro 7 emission legislation proposal demands for more advanced system designs as well as technology improvements on both engine and catalyst side. Experience from full system programs show that there is potential to meet legislation with system based on different catalyst technologies. The selection of V- or Cu-based main technology will be discussed as this dictate some of the system boundary conditions. Recent developments of the different catalyst and filter coating technologies will be reviewed and their improved performance and durability will help widen the system boundaries and meet Euro 7.
