ECG President applauds Spectaire's vision following keynote address at Copenhagen Conference 2023

Watertown, MA - November 1, 2023 - Founder and CEO of Spectaire, Brian Semkiw, took center stage at the 2023 ECG Conference held in Copenhagen on the 12th and 13th of October. His compelling message resonated with the audience, highlighting the crucial balance between compliance and air quality improvement targets. Semkiw stressed the significance of rewarding companies that achieve measurable on-road emissions reduction, a topic of increasing global importance.

Spectaire, a pioneering company, offers the world's first solution to realize the vision of EURO 7 for Real Drive Emissions (RDE) through their AireCore™ platform. This revolutionary technology extends emissions measurement beyond stationary testing, providing real-time on-road emissions data.

In his address to the ECG Conference attendees, Brian Semkiw emphasized the growing influence of public and private policies aimed at enhancing air quality and reducing emissions. Semkiw expressed his pride in speaking at the ECG Conference to underscore the importance of not only setting targets but also measuring progress and, more importantly, rewarding those who achieve reductions. 

Mr. Semkiw stated, "Governments and major corporations worldwide have set ambitious targets focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions. All improvement starts with measurement, not with the current practice of educated guessing through online calculators and stationary emissions testing." His call to action urged businesses and policymakers to embrace a data-driven approach to emissions reduction. 

Wolfgang Göbel, President of The Association of European Vehicle Logistics (ECG), fully endorsed Brian's vision, stating, "Spectaire's AireCore™ Emissions Management Platform empowers companies to assess the effectiveness of their emissions reduction efforts, transforming emissions mitigation from a cost into a profit center. Progressive logistics providers, including trucking companies, are eager to measure emissions accurately to differentiate themselves and showcase their environmental impact reduction initiatives.” 

Mr. Göbel continued, "As trucking companies embrace the challenge of emissions reduction, we challenge policy makers to support these efforts with recognition of achievement. Spectaire provides a platform to deliver accurate on-road emissions results, enabling well-informed decisions for future greenhouse gas policy.” 

The ECG Conference 2023, held at the Hangar Congress Center within the Clarion & Comfort Hotel at Copenhagen Airport, was a resounding success, with nearly 500 delegates in attendance. The event offered a stellar lineup of industry leaders and experts, fostering thought-provoking discussions and presentations that left attendees with valuable knowledge and inspiration. This year's conference exceeded all expectations, reaffirming its status as a premier gathering in the Freight Vehicle and Logistics (FVL) industry.
