#EU #Transport Commissioner Apostolos Tzitzikostas visited MAN Truck & Bus in Munich to discuss electrification, automation, and digitalisation in road freight. MAN CEO Alexander Vlaskamp welcomed the EU's action plan but called for faster expansion of charging infrastructure and a rethink of CO2 regulation, which could impose harsh penalties on manufacturers. MAN is committed to reducing emissions with a portfolio of electric trucks and buses. Since 2024, MAN has offered electric trucks with ranges of up to 800 km, saving 400 tonnes of CO2 with a fleet of 120 eTrucks. Vlaskamp emphasised the need for 50,000 charging points by 2030 to meet EU climate goals. MAN is part of a joint venture with Volvo and Daimler Truck to install 1,700 charging points by 2027. The company is also working on autonomous hub-to-hub transport, with a test permit for Level 4 autonomous trucks in Germany.

#Transport for #London (TfL) has had its greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), in line with the Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C limit. For the first time, #TfL has set targets across all areas of its business, aiming for a 90% emissions reduction by 2030.

TfL is transitioning to zero-emission vehicles, including over 1,900 of London’s 9,000 buses, and improving energy efficiency across its estate, with plans for solar farms and LED lighting. It aims to source 100% of its electricity from renewables by 2030.

TfL is also reducing carbon in construction, targeting low-carbon materials and emission-free deliveries by 2030. These efforts support London’s goal of becoming a carbon-neutral capital by 2030. The SBTi’s validation confirms TfL’s leadership in climate action.

Cabinet minister on the Today Programme a few minutes ago said that “anyone who has any transport needs will benefit from the freeze in fuel duty”. I wish this was his idea of a funny April Fool, given the 50% increase in single bus fares a couple of months ago, 4.6% rise in rail fares last month, and impact of the driving encouraged by a(nother) duty freeze on pedestrians and cyclists. But while if asked the government will say it “doesn’t think that transport is just cars and really wants a to encourage more sustainable transport” I think he was serious.

A new Bill in #Wales aims to transform local bus services, making them more reliable, affordable, and integrated. The Bus Services (Wales) Bill proposes one network, one timetable, and one ticket across Wales, coordinated nationally with local input. It seeks to improve service delivery via franchised contracts with private, public, and third-sector operators. The Bill tackles issues like poor reliability, unaccepted tickets, and lack of integration with other #transport modes. Benefits include better service, easier transitions between #buses and #trains, and reinvested ticket revenue. The reform will start in South West Wales in 2027, with full implementation across the regions by 2030.

For the past five months this stretch of Bree Street in #CapeTown has been car free on Sundays – a street experiment encouraging residents and visitors to reimagine this city street as a more accessible and people-friendly mixed public space.

The weekly event regularly featured the Silent Book Club, free rental bikes, skateboarding, a community sewing project, art sessions, markets and more

A new Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the #IsleofMan and #Liverpool City Region aims to strengthen #economic, cultural, and political ties. The agreement focuses on areas such as business, #tourism, #transport, #health, #energy, and public services. The regions share a long history, enhanced by the opening of a new Isle of Man #ferry terminal in Liverpool, which generated £3.2m for the local economy. This MoU is seen as a significant step towards fostering growth and development through increased collaboration. Both Mayor Steve Rotheram and Isle of Man Chief Minister Alfred Cannan highlighted the importance of closer economic ties and mutual benefits. The agreement also includes an annual conference, alternating between the two regions, and will be reviewed regularly to expand cooperation. With strong business links, including £2bn of annual trade, the partnership aims to open new opportunities for innovation, investment, and community development.
