I have been on a personal journey over the years from frontline environmental activism in the 1990s and then into journalism in the early 2000s. I am currently a research analyst and feature writer in logistics, though still love to write about transport decarbonisation.
EVs have won in cars
For many years I was a leading electric vehicles writer, focusing on electric cars. That war is won, though there are still some holding desperately onto hydrogen as a future.
My focus is now on logistics decarbonisation – how to get aircraft, trucks, trains and ships off fossil fuels and onto zero carbon emissions technologies. This is the last redoubt for transport emissions.
At the same time I am a research analyst for a leading logistics consultancy, and look at every aspect of the logistics industry, from financial to the nuts and bolts of companies operations.
EVs and the Future…
Today I see economic opportunities to help divert from climate change. If you can appeal to someone’s base instincts that they can make money from saving the planet then you can bring aboard even the hardest climate change deniers.
Electric vehicles enable us to use renewable energy to power our energy intensive lives. Light electric vehicles (e-bikes) give older people greater mobility and can extend their healthy lives, as well as enabling even giant logistics companies to stop choking cities with their vehicles’ fumes in e-cargo-bikes.
