Nairobi, 22 February 2024 – While heavy-duty vehicle (HDV) exports represent a modest 3.6% of the global automotive trade's total value, their associated CO2 emissions have surged by over 30% since 2000, with trucks contributing 80% to this increase. Moreover, HDVs participate substantially to environmental pollution, accounting for over 40% of on-road nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions, over 60% of on-road particulate matter (PM 2.5), and more than 20% of black carbon emissions, as revealed in the latest report by the UN Environment Programme (UNEP).
