Germany Freight and Logistics Market Trends:
Launch of Electric Trucks
Germany is advancing sustainable transportation with several private trucking companies introducing electric trucks. For instance, Maersk, a leading innovator in integrated and sustainable logistics solutions, announced a new initiative to reduce GHG emissions in hinterland container transports by purchasing 25 state-of-the-art Volvo FH electric trucks in Germany. This strategic investment highlights the company's dedication to decarbonizing global logistics and achieving net-zero emissions by 2040 across all business areas and modes of transport. In addition this, Hamburg authorities announced an investment of 18 million euros into the city’s experimental autonomous vehicle programme for public transport. The investment came from the German Federal Ministry for Transport.
Rising Fuel Prices in Germany
German consumers experienced the fastest price increases, primarily driven by the sharp rise in energy and food prices following the Russia-Ukraine War. Moreover, Germany is one of the world's largest natural gas importers. According to an article published on Clean Energy Wire in October 2023, Germany is expecting a fuel price increase starting in 2027 due to the EU emissions trading system. The anticipated rise includes an additional 38 cents per liter of petrol and about 3 cents per kilowatt-hour of natural gas compared to 2026. Germany needs to devise a plan to address these potential price hikes as it transitions from its national carbon pricing for transport and heating fuels to the EU-wide emissions trading system (ETS II) in 2027. The European Union has decided to implement a second emissions trading system for the transport and building sectors, alongside its existing system for energy and industry. Germany will need to align its current national CO2 pricing scheme with this new system. The German system is set to transition from a fixed-price model to a trading system with capped emissions by 2026, but Agora is advocating for this change to occur earlier, in 2025, with an established price corridor.
