This equates to 10% of the fleet by 2025 and 35% by 2029 – whether electric or hydrogen. Taxi and chauffeur-driven vehicles are particularly targeted.

It also underlines the critical importance of cutting emissions in sectors that aren’t easily electrified, such as industrial manufacturing and related processes. "This sector accounts for about a quarter of global emissions,” the report says…
