Did you know that 7% of global carbon emissions come from road #freight transportation? 🚚

And that @Tesla's Semi truck has almost 2x the range of its competitors?

A short🧵 on the up-and-coming disruption of trucking courtesy of @elonmusk Image
1/ Trucking needs disruption 🚚💥

7% of global carbon emissions come from road freight transportation, aka trucking.

This is comparable to that of the global aviation industry, and arguably much easier to #decarbonise.

2/ Tesla are NOT the first 🥇

Improvements in battery #tech have gone leaps and bounds, to the point where traditional trucking companies like:
@freightliner
@VolvoTrucks
@KenworthTruckCo

and new ones:
@BYDCompany
@nikolamotor

have all released their own electric trucks ⚡🔋 Image

📣Record boxship deliveries forecast for 2023 and 2024 Image
2 of 6
The global container ship #orderbook has continued to creep up since midyear, despite a weakening market sentiment. While container lines are still highly profitable, #freight rates and charter rates are now on a downward trajectory, indicating the market has peaked. Image
3 of 6
Both freight and #vessel time charter rates are still high historically, but the general feeling is that the market is about to correct itself and normalize some time in 2023. Across many trade lanes, #cargo volumes are weakening, and spot rates are coming down swiftly.

Thanks to @GeoffCutmore, @cnbcKaren & the #SquawkBox team for having me on this morning's show.

We discussed #bonds & #centralbanks, touched on #supplychains & talked of #Growth's vulnerability, #commodities' appeal.

Slide deck follows:-

1/14
Is your box still backed up in port? How much does the onward haulage cost? What happens to #freight rates after #LNY/#Beijing2022?
2/14
The bet is that #energy cannot *possibly* rise as far and fast this year as last, but what about all the other inputs? To what extent are these and other costs yet to be passed on?

#PPI #CPI

Thanks to @steve_sedgwick & @cnbcKaren for having me on #CNBC #SquawkBox this AM.

What did we discuss? Well, #inflation of course!

I prepared some slides for the show which I'm happy to present in this thread.

Are people in denial or is the #centralbank money flood just drowning all the signals?

#inflation
#Commodities, #freight, #carbon - and a whole lot besides - sure do cost a lot more, these days.

🌎 It's time to start a new tweetstorm to monitor global trade rebound, which should be larger than exp. in 2021.
*The drag from #Covid_19 restrictions in 🇺🇸 🇪🇺 will ease.
*Uncertainty linked to trade tensions ⬇.
*Leading sectors (semis and autos) already point to a sharp ⬆.

@OPAgarWRI @iChiragGajjar @teriin Transport #emissions are currently, at 10% of total emissions and 13% of energy emissions. #Transport sector in India is the fastest growing amongst G20 countries, which affects the goal of reducing emissions intensity of GDP: RR Rashmi, @teriin
#sustainable #Freight
@OPAgarWRI @iChiragGajjar @teriin There is no one silver bullet for all of the transport sector's emission woes. There needs to be an integrated approach to #decarbonizing India's booming #Transportation sector: RR Rashmi, @teriin
#sustainable #Freight #electricmobility #decarbonization #climateaction
@OPAgarWRI @iChiragGajjar @teriin Electrification of #transport sector, modal shift from road to rail for #freight, changes in urban planning are necessary for moderating the sector’s contribution in emissions: RR Rashmi, @teriin

“HS2 is just 20 minutes quicker to #Birmingham” is a well-trodden myth. #HS2 will transform the UK with the 3Cs: More CAPACITY across the country’s #rail network. A low CARBON #transport network. Better CONNECTIVITY in the #Midlands and #North. Image
Capacity: #HS2 will add vital capacity to our overcrowded #rail network by placing long distance services on their own pair of tracks. This will create thousands of extra seats and space for more local, commuter and #freight services on the existing #railway. Image
Carbon: #Rail is the low carbon option for long distance travel, with #HS2 taking cars and lorries off the road. HS2 emits 17 times less carbon than the equivalent domestic flight and 7 times less carbon than the equivalent car journey.

The channel disruption is now extending into Belgium! @FEBETRA colleague Isabelle de Maegt explains how much this is costing hauliers. vrt.be/vrtnws/en/2019… @newsfromfta #Calais #Brexit
This was the scene this morning on the A16 between Dunkirk and Calais. Road haulage not moving at all. #Brexit #Calais
It must also be highlighted that the drivers of these vehicles had no apparent access to sanitary installations such as toilets. And people ask why #freight industry faces such a #skills shortage when conditions such as these can appear overnight.
