Accelererated transition towards emission free long haul truck transports (E-Charge 2)

Research Project, 2024 – 2027

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.

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.
