Transport accounts for 12% of Colombian GHG emissions (CO2, CH4, N2O), half of which corresponds to heavy trucks and buses (Pulido, et al., 2016). The GIRO ZERO project catalyses the adoption of low emission technologies and better environmental practices within the Colombian Road Freight Transport (RFT) sector.
The project focuses on five dimensions for change: (i) fleet configuration, (ii) fleet management, (iii) logistics optimisation, (iv) efficient driving practices and (v) regulation and public policy. The project studies the technical, financial, political, and cultural feasibility of better practices and technologies within each of these dimensions. GIRO ZERO works on the pillars of capacity building, pilots, statistical analysis, analytical modelling, and qualitative research.
The project objectives are to:
1. Close the gap between COP21 and the emerging COP26 targets and the current credentials of the Colombian Road Freight Transport (RFT) sector by developing action towards /accelerating the adoption of green practices within the sector.
2. Develop capacity in the RFT sector for the acquisition and operation of low-emission truck fleets.
3. Provide tools for monitoring and enhancing the green credentials of truck fleets and RFT operations in Colombia.
4. Contribute to establishing a policy framework and public sector programmes (i.e. fleet renewal and voluntary reporting) to reach the set zero-emissions targets.
