Purpose and goal
The purpose of the project is to contribute to an accelerated transition to a future logistics system that meets the national requirements to reduce emissions from domestic transportation. The project will describe, build and demonstrate the transport ecosystem consisting of electrified long-distance (or energy-intensive) truck transports that require high-power charging in order to understand and develop a basis for how Sweden can accelerate the transition to an emission-free logistics system.
Expected effects and result
The project has the ambitious goal of putting 200 trucks in electrified long-distance transport in commercial operation as early as 2027, which is a prerequisite for the continued rollout towards 3,000 vehicles in 2030. It will contribute to the expansion of critical MCS charging infrastructure and results and effects are expected to have a wide geographical scope. Over time, the results and effects will contribute to the development of sustainable transport solutions on a global scale.
Planned approach and implementation
The project adopts a systems engineering approach and is structured with vertical and horizontal work packages. A large number of logistics actors will develop, demonstrate and validate efficient electrified logistics flows. Experiences from these arrangements are then utilized in horizontal work packages with the goal of developing, in collaboration with all project parties, documentation regarding FFI´s five system dimensions in order to prepare the market for these types of vehicles.
