MAN wants to reduce fleet emissions
MAN Truck & Bus is aiming to be neutral by 2050. For the first step, the target is to save 70 per cent of emissions compared to 2019 levels across all the company’s locations around the world by 2030.
MAN joined the SBTi in 2021 to face up to its responsibility to limit climate change. By becoming part of the initiative, MAN has undertaken to define binding and science-based goals to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions that harm the climate. SBTi is a partnership between the CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project), the United Nations Global Compact, the World Resources Institute (WRI) and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). The initiative supports companies with setting targets that are in line with the Paris Climate Agreement adopted by the United Nations in 2015. The Agreement states that global warming should ideally be limited to 2°C, or preferably 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.
Greenhouse gases include CO2, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, sulfur hexafluoride and nitrogen trifluoride - with CO2 being MAN's most relevant greenhouse gas.
