Meeting - Pathway development - Zero Emission Truck Taskforce - 9 February 2023

Agenda

Welcome

• Minutes and actions of the last meeting

Pathway themes identified at January workshops

• Are these the right themes to build an HGV Decarbonisation Pathway around?
• Is anything missing?

HGV Decarbonisation Pathway working groups

• How does the Taskforce wish to organise the working groups which will develop these themes into concrete actions?
  • Are the areas proposed the right areas of focus? What is missing?
  • Are elements relating to TCO and business model best explored separately or as an integral part of other workstreams? Does this differ for BET and FCET?
  • Should the deepening of international partnerships be explored within agreed workstreams or as a separate focus?
  • Is increasing the supply of ZE HGV into Scotland an area for focus (eg though demand aggregation), or is this primarily dependent upon energy infrastructure being put in place?
• What do you want the working groups to bring back to the Taskforce?
• Are there particular issues that the working group should seek to resolve or produce options for?
• How do you want to resource the working groups - will you take on the work yourself or bring in people from your organisation?
• How should working groups report progress to the Taskforce in March?
• Will the final HGV Decarbonisation Pathway benefit from being more or less detailed?

Timeline to finalise the Pathway

• Discussion around what is required to finalise the Pathway, eg sign off processes etc.
  • Are additional dates required for Taskforce meetings? If so, at which point(s)?

Next meeting

• 30 March 2023 - 9.30
• The Minister for Transport will chair the next meeting - how would the Taskforce like to use the time with her?
