Sustainable Logistics Solutions: Overcoming Zero-Emission Trucking Barrier with Renewable Diesel and Electric Fleet

Hermann Services explains that sustainable logistics and zero-emission trucking have become operational priorities as companies face pressure to reduce emissions and meet sustainability goals. The article compares renewable diesel—which cuts CO₂ by ~65% and works with existing diesel engines—to electric trucks, which offer true zero emissions but come with significant challenges including limited range (typically ~200–230 miles per charge), long charging times, and higher upfront costs—often about three times that of diesel trucks without subsidies or incentives. Successful adoption requires advance infrastructure planning (charging locations, grid capacity), driver training on range management and regenerative braking, and route optimization based on charging and fuel availability.
