Truck manufacturers have the power to prevent these future impacts and use their vast resources and influence to accelerate a just transition to 100% zero-emission vehicles worldwide. By working together, they can protect workers’ rights, develop fossil-free supply chains, protect human rights, and sustain their businesses for the future.
The Idle Giants campaign shines a spotlight on Volvo Group and Daimler Truck—the world’s largest truck manufacturers by revenue—for their significant influence over the trucking industry and its policies, their insufficient and misplaced investments, and their efforts to stall or delay the shift to clean technologies. These actions contradict their stated commitments to change. Closely aligned in strategy, alliances, and investments, Volvo and Daimler have the ability, opportunity and responsibility to lead the industry— driving the transition through their investments, sales, and advocacy.
