12:00 – 13:00<\/span>\u00a0| PANEL | Fleet Sustainability in SA to grow the economy<\/h5>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”5px”][vc_column_text]The domestic truck and bus sector is poised for significant transformation in the coming years, driven by technological advancements, regulatory changes, sustainable initiatives and shifting customer demands. Maintaining competitiveness will require a concerted effort to navigate these challenges and to embrace opportunities for innovation. The transport sector enables economic growth and industrial development by facilitating the movement of people and goods, but the sector is a major emitter. As the main cost driver, fuel accounts for about 67% of commercial vehicle fleet costs. As the world seeks more sustainable transportation solutions, embracing electric and other alternative solutions vehicles is not just an option, it is a strategic move that can positively impact a company\u2019s bottom line, reputation, and contribution to a greener future. Transport in South Africa is the third-largest emitting sector, with more than 90% of emissions stemming from road transport. However, the current upfront purchasing price of alternative-power source vehicles is much higher than the ICE equivalent, and this remains a major hurdle before the lower running and maintenance cost benefits could be enjoyed. However, South Africa\u2019s future transport sector needs to be decarbonised, while simultaneously managing demand and improving the efficiency, reliability, and affordability of transport as a service. An encouraging trend is the increasing introduction of electric trucks in the country since 2022.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”15px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” css=”.vc_custom_1725273101617{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 22px !important;background-image: url(https:\/\/naamsa.net\/saaw2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/naamsa-bg-title.png?id=1100) !important;}” z_index=””][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
