Electric vehicles are growing in popularity – small cars, SUVs, even pickup trucks. But what about electric long-haul tractor trailers?

It’s true that, owing to the size of the batteries required, electrification of heavy-hauling trucks is a difficult task. However, disruptive innovators have capitalized on this gap in the sector. Thanks to groundbreaking electrification solutions, one customer was able to drive 265,000 kilometers over two years without ever re-charging his trailer battery!

In this episode, we speak to Abdullah Jaber, CEO and Managing Director at Trailer Dynamics, and Roland Duquesne, Director of Key Accounts for the EMEA Region at Thermo King.

We’ll discuss game-changing trailer technology, and how the electrification of long-haul transportation not only reduces carbon emissions, but also helps truckers get to their destinations faster.

The cause of global warming isn’t a mystery: we’ve been reliant on burning fossil fuels for centuries. Our carbon emissions are a big problem, but what if carbon could be part of the solution?

There are many solutions that can contribute to reducing our emissions footprint, from the transition to renewable energy, to sustainable consumption, production, and building practices. And for the first movers in the sustainability space, the opportunities for innovation are endless.

In this episode, we speak to Cal Krause, Operational Impacts Program Manager at Trane Technologies, and Nollaig Forrest, Chief Marketing and Corporate Affairs Officer at Amrize.

We talk about embodied carbon in the built environment, strategies for reducing scope 1 and 2 emissions, and the next generation technologies that could turn buildings into carbon sinks, batteries, and more!

Buildings are responsible for more than a third of global energy consumption and emissions, with much of that energy use attributed to day-to-day heating and cooling needs. The challenge to meet ambitious sustainability targets means addressing the impact of the buildings. But, could they present the biggest opportunity of all? 

In this episode, we speak to Jose La Loggia, Group President EMEA at Trane Technologies, and Stan Van Hastenberg, Sustainability Lead at Organon, a global pharmaceutical company focused on women's health. 

We discuss the ins-and-outs of thermal management systems, the complexities of energy transitions, and how sustainable heating and cooling innovations can contribute to a net-zero future.
