<\/span><span style=\"\">The European <\/span><span>Commission unveiled new measures set to slash emission levels from the freight sector, including potentially amending the size of trucks for the first time in 30 years, <\/span><span style=\"text-decoration-skip-ink:none;-webkit-text-decoration-skip:none;\"><a

style=\"font-weight:400;\">. The commission also aims to fill the gap in ESG and emissions reporting with a new regulation, the newswire adds. The measures propose that the size of heavy duty vehicles be changed to accommodate the weight of batteries and encourage the purchase of zero-emission trucks. The measures also seek to streamline cross-border discrepancies and restrictions and mandate the use of built-in road detectors to reduce pollution, according to Reuters. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700;\">ALSO WORTH KNOWING-<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight:700\">Israel<\/span><span style=\"\">-based box booking platform <\/span><span style=\"-webkit-text-decoration-skip:none;font-weight:700;text-decoration-skip-ink:none\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freightos.com\/\" style=\"\">Freightos<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight:700\">will lay off 13%<\/span><span style=\"\"> of its employees <\/span><span>to cope with <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:700\">\u201cpersistently weak market conditions.\u201d <\/span><span>(<\/span><span style=\"text-decoration-skip-ink:none;-webkit-text-decoration-skip:none;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/splash247.com\/freightos-to-axe-13-of-its-workforce-amid-persistently-weak-market-conditions\/\" style=\"\">Splash<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">) <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight:700\">Boeing <\/span><span style=\"\">delivered <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:700\">60 airplanes <\/span><span style=\"\">and secured <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:700\">orders for 288 new aircraft <\/span><span style=\"\">in <\/span><span>June.
