To explore a future sustainable road freight based on battery electric and hydrogen fuel cell electric trucks, the need of infrastructure along the main Norwegian transport corridors was assessed. An annual electricity demand of 156 to 772 GWh in 2050 was identified depending on location, and a peak power demand of 59 to 114 MW considering an optimised energy station with local storage. The sensitivity analysis shows a solution where increased power prices and more volatile demand had the largest impact on the sizing of the energy station components. Grid connection was identified as challenging for some of the locations.

P6-10 Charging and refueling demand for heavy-duty zero emission trucks in Norwegian transport corridors

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.
