Decarbonising HGVs Through Electrification

Current Thoughts

The vision and benefits:
  • Why decarbonise…climate change, through-life cost benefits, clients being able to respond to their client NZ needs (e.g. Scope 3)
  • Vision for the future, market size, impacts, benefits etc.
  • Decarbonisation pathways for the road freight sector
  • International experiences and activity…what can we learn from what’s happening abroad?

 

eFREIGHT2030:
  • Established consortium, bringing partners together
  • Establishing a UK-wide network of depots with third party charging
  • Principles and protocols of operating a depot with controlled access to other operators
  • Explaining and demonstrating the range and route option benefits

Unlocking the barriers to eHGV industry creation

Taking a whole system approach, bringing together:
  • Trucks…what’s there now, what will be coming soon, what does the future look like
  • Grid infrastructure…biggest challenge, how to get sites connected, smart energy options (e.g. energy storage, DSM etc.)
  • Charging solutions…which ones, now and in the future, smart charging, data solutions, V2G etc.
  • Policy & Regulation…what needs to change, vehicle weights, dimensions, tariffs, how does electricity market reform play in?
  • Finance…TCO makes sense, but how to overcome the working capital challenge through new finance approaches and business models
  • Supporting diversity in the transport industry

Optimise Commercial Opportunities and operational performance

Commercial opportunities:
  • Semi-public charging hubs, opening up depots to SMEs and new revenue streams
  • Optimisation of your business…fleet, energy usage, driver welfare etc.
  • New energy related revenue streams, e.g. future grid ancillary services markets….capacity, energy storage, V2G, frequency response etc.
  • Take data captured and draw insights on customer behaviour that will drive revenue and margin
Operational performance & efficiencies:
  • Optimisation of vehicle routes
  • Cost reduction
