In mid‑July 2026, logistics firm Dachser Iberia detailed released a corporate roadmap to cut its direct greenhouse‑gas emissions by 42 % by 2030. The plan for Spain and Portugal hinges on 2030 through fleet electrification, low‑carbon fuels such as HVO100, route optimisation, digital tools and on‑site renewable generation, with annual reviews to adapt to technological and regulatory changes. A week later, the reviews. The Spanish government issued Council of Ministers approved a royal decree (Real Decreto 611/2026) on 21 July, establishing the first regulatory framework for transport‑fuel emissions through framework to 2040. The decree mandates a 17.6 % cut in fuel‑related emissions by 2030 and 30 % by 2040, and requires advanced biofuels, biomethane and renewable non‑biological fuels to reach 8 % of fuel energy in 2030 and 22 % in 2040, and introduces an 2040. An e‑credit system for allows renewable electricity used at EV charging points. Together, points to be converted into tradable certificates for fuel suppliers. An Ernst & Young analysis highlighted that Spain’s rapid expansion of wind and solar toward its 2035 renewable target will rely heavily on pumped‑hydro storage (5.5 GW operating) while battery capacity lags behind approved projects, creating strategic supply‑chain risks. The decree does not set a deadline for phasing out gasoline stations or banning combustion‑engine cars, offering industry certainty as the fuel mix gradually shifts. Together, Dachser’s corporate initiative plan, the new regulatory framework, and the national policy broader energy‑storage context illustrate a coordinated push to decarbonise the Iberian transport sector. in Spain and Portugal.
