Due to the climate change transport technologies also progress in a more environmentally friendly direction, which leads to a transition from conventional fossil fuel technologies to climate-neutral ones and therefore creates new challenges to handle in order to substitute the previous drivetrain systems with new concepts. These can cause e.g. difficulties or limitations regarding energy storage and driving range. This study investigates the energy demands of commercial vehicles to create a guideline for a drivetrain concept. In order to represent as many different application profiles as possible, it considers the additional weights, secondary consumers and typical route types of commercial vehicles.

P6-04 Impact of variable driving terms and additional consumers on the driving range and energy consumption of light commercial electric vehicles

Reducing emissions from the transportation sector is one of the fastest ways to combat climate change. 

Electrifying mobility is propelling new technologies, empowering consumers to take concrete action and is demanding politicians to take swift and concrete action.

What will the future of electric mobility look like? And what are the biggest challenges for realizing zero emission transport on the road, at sea and in the air? 

The 13th-15th June, people from all over the world will travel to Oslo, the world’s leading player in electric transport, to participate in this year’s biggest EV conference.
