Technology catalogue for commercial freight and passenger transport
On this page, you will find two technology catalogues with descriptions and data for shipping and heavy-duty road transport. A separate Technology Review has been prepared for the aviation sector, providing an overview of the industry as well as future fuels and technologies.
These technology catalogues with accompanying data sheets contain descriptions and data for respectively heavy-duty road transport (trucks and buses) and shipping (cargo ships and ferries), based on different propulsion technologies. In addition, a technology review on aviation provides perspectives on technologies and developments in the aviation sector.
The catalogue for trucks and buses includes three fuels: 1) diesel, 2) battery electric and 3) hydrogen electric. There are three vehicle categories for trucks and two for buses, with 15 data sheets in total.
The catalogue for cargo ships and ferries includes five propellants: 1) marine diesel, 2) battery electric, 3) hydrogen electric, 4) methanol and 5) ammonia, with a total of 21 data sheets. There are three vessel categories for cargo ships and four for ferries.
The review on aviation includes chapters on 1) conventional aviation, 2) sustainable aviation fuel, 3) battery electric/hybrid electric aircraft and 4) hydrogen (both combustion and fuel cell electric). No data sheets are provided with this report.
The technology catalogue for heavy-duty road transport was first published in May 2023.
The technology catalogue for shipping was first published in January 2024.
The technology review on aviation was first published in April 2025
