1st Sustainable Mobility Conference: Last Mile and Municipal Services

Autogas (LPG) is a low-polluting, lower-cost fuel that can carry Spain’s ECO label; BioAutogas is renewable (biopropane) with similar performance and infrastructure, offering significant CO₂ reductions vs. fossil fuels.

These options are already working in European cities and, on a life-cycle basis, could deliver bigger reductions than the ones discussed: 🔌 100% battery-electric buses and trucks (BEV). They have the lowest life-cycle emissions in Europe, and rollout is growing quickly in urban fleets. 🔌 Green-hydrogen buses (fuel cells). Zero emissions in use; with renewable H₂ they can reach footprints similar to BEVs. There are already hundreds operating in the EU (JIVE/UITP). 🔌 HVO100 renewable diesel (drop-in). Lets existing diesel fleets decarbonize without changing vehicles; some Swedish networks target “fossil-free” operations by combining HVO and electrics. 🔌 Biomethane/biogas for buses. A circular fuel from municipal waste/wastewater; for example, Stockholm fuels bus lines from its sewage treatment plants.

Yes—ANEPMA and partners bring the perspective of municipal enterprises, frameworks and practical deployment paths.

Yes. Euro VI-E engines and last-mile trucks powered by (Bio)Autogas are already commercial and designed for urban use-cases.
