Transport represents almost one-fifth of the world’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Moreover, air pollutants are now considered the world’s largest environmental health risk, and a major cause of premature death and disease. The world needs rapid action on reducing harmful emissions.
We want to accelerate the world’s transition to electric mobility. Sustainability is at the core of our mission.
The average lifespan of a bus or truck is between 10 – 25 years, with huge upfront costs. For companies to replace their entire fleet with brand-new electric vehicles (EV) would not only involve a large investment, but it would also be environmentally damaging. That is why we have designed a product that allows anyone, especially municipalities, public transport operators, and bus/truck manufacturing companies, to change their existing fleet without incurring the financial or environmental costs of complete replacement.
We have made it economically rational to be environmentally friendly.
pepper’s core product is a kit that enables the conversion of diesel buses and trucks to electric vehicles.
Key sustainability features of pepper’s solutions:
* Bio-diesel is used in the Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) system of our buses, when it is not electrically powered. Added to that, the air conditioning coolant has a low CO2 impact..
** Tier A are those suppliers most relevant to the production of our electrification kit.
In addition to our kit, we develop software solutions in-house to manage the EV’s charging infrastructure. Through these smart solutions, our clients can not only regulate their power consumption and keep costs low, but also forecast their energy demand and usage.
Our product is aligned with the EU’s Paris Conference of Parties (COP) commitment to reduce the bloc’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by at least 55 percent by 2030 compared to 1990 levels.
In addition to the EU, we are in line with the German government’s goal of increasing the use of clean road-transport vehicles. Owing to ambitious German and EU-targets as well as regulatory support, we see huge potential in market growth for the deployment of our low- and zero-emission vehicles.
Detailed info and further links to the mentioned guidelines and topics can be found in our sustainability strategy.
The CO2 reductions of a bus repowered by pepper are 68 tons per year compared to a new diesel bus.*
