Electric Truck Fleet - Field Test and optimising charging infrastructure investment with power demand on MEGAWATT scale
Abstract
“Everybody wants to see more e-trucks on the road, but nobody knows how to get them there” – Logistics Manager The core goal of the MEGAWATT-LOGISTICS project is meeting the logistical challenges of using an electric freight fleet for a variety of different use cases. Energy consumption data will be gathered from real-live driving tests and the seasonal dependence of vehicle range and performance will be analysed. The optimal use of the available energy infrastructure will be investigated, and optimal routing and charging strategies will be developed. This will pave the road for economically sustainable investment and business models for zero-emission freight logistics. It is expected that electric freight fleets will become more profitable than traditional, fossile fuel powered freight fleets at some point in the near future due to their lower operating costs. Investments into electric freight fleets are tied to high financial risk. Currently, there is not much information available on how the transition from diesel-powered fleets to electric fleets can be managed optimally - not only is there a scarcity of practical experiences, but also a lack of scientific literature on the topic. The MEGAWATT-LOGISTICS project aims to gather knowledge in these areas.
