Shipper Policy Engagement to Accelerate Road Freight Electrification

Published on June 29, 2026

Our latest publication on Shipper Policy Engagement to Accelerate Road Freight Electrification explains why shipper involvement in policy is essential and how it can drive real progress. It shows how supply side regulations (SSRs) can unlock vehicle supply, reduce total cost of ownership, and help shape charging and grid readiness. It also highlights the critical role shippers play in providing operational insights, clear demand signals, and the economic influence needed to make policies effective. Most importantly, the publication demonstrates why supply and market demand must move together to accelerate the transition to zero-emission freight at scale. It also outlines how GPN strategically engages logistics actors in policy discussions, maps priority regions, and proposes a sequenced, ecosystem-wide approach to accelerating zero-emission transport (ZET) adoption.
