“ Not only is the road freight industry responsible for close to 8 % of all global CO2 emissions – a number that will continue to grow if cost-effective change is not made today – but you also have a world that is more aware than ever before about the urgent need to shift to electric . I admire Maersk for its boldness in leading the way – for standing out in its commitments as a shipper to tangibly make the transition happen .”
