As industrial activities expand and urbanization accelerates, the demand for off-road machinery in construction, agriculture, mining, and other sectors continues to rise. However, the environmental impact of conventional diesel-powered equipment remains a significant concern, contributing to air pollution and carbon emissions. In response to these challenges, there has been a growing global momentum towards the adoption of zero-emission trucks and off-road machinery powered by electric, hydrogen, or alternative fuels.

The ICCT, in collaboration with government partners worldwide, has embarked on a series of international symposiums dedicated to advancing the deployment of zero-emission off-road machinery. The 2023 Beijing symposium and the 2024 Oslo symposium has successfully united a comprehensive set of stakeholders with a common goal: advancing the adoption and proliferation of ultra-low or zero-emission equipment to combat climate change and drive sustainable development.

This year, the 2025 symposium is scheduled on September 8th & 9th in San Francisco, CA, USA. The symposium will draw a distinguished audience, including national- and city-level government authorities from China, U.S. and Europe., alongside major zero-emission trucks and off-road machinery manufacturers, construction companies, operators, rental firms, industry associations, energy suppliers, academics, research institutes, and NGOs.
