StratES - Scenarios for the electrification of road freight transport
Study based on market ramp-up modeling
The objective of this study is to evaluate electric drive technologies in terms of their techno-economic potential and identify key factors influencing market adoption. The basis for this evaluation is the modeling of scenarios that…
Expansion Strategies for Electric Road Systems (ERS) in Europe
A working paper from the CollERS2 project
The market development of alternative powertrains in European road freight transport will only be successful, if a network of alternative energy supply infrastructure is available. Electric road systems (ERS) powering battery electric…
Towards a Green Economy
Successfully shaping structual change
This publication presents key messages and recommendations for successfully shaping structural change towards a Green Economy. The publication results from the REFOPLAN-project „Ökologischer Strukturwandel“ (Ecological structural change,…
Ready to go? Technology Readiness and Life-cycle Emissions of Electric Road Systems
A discussion paper from the CollERS2 project
The present discussion paper is the result of an international collaboration on ERS research, the CollERS2 project. It summarizes key results of the first workshop with Swedish and German participants held in November 2021. This paper…
Key Messages on Electric Roads
Executive Summary from the CollERS Project
Electric road systems (ERS) enable electric power transfer to moving vehicles by means of overhead lines, rails or wireless technology. ERS constitutes a new type of technological system (“permanent pick-up”) that is a paradigm shift…
Connecting Countries by Electric Roads
Methodology for Feasibility Analysis of a Transnational ERS Corridor
The present study aims at discussing relevant aspects for a potential roll-out of Electric Road Systems (ERS) on transnational corridors, as well as generally for ERS introduction in Europe.
Feasibility criteria have thus been developed…
National and EU freight transport strategies
Status quo and perspectives and implications for the introduction of electric road systems (ERS)
National and international freight transport in Europe is significantly influenced by both, national and the European Union (EU) strategies and regulations. The successful market launch of Electric Road Systems (ERS) can only succeed…
Getting zero emission trucks on the road - From regional to long-haul
Comparing the costs and benefits of different technologies: A case study for Germany
Presentation by Florian Hacker, "Getting zero-emission trucks on the road", 19. February 19, 2020, Brussels
Overview of ERS concepts and complementary technologies
The implementation of ERS at national and international levels is likely to work together with the application of other solutions for cleaner transportation. This report therefore contains descriptions and comparisons of complementary…
Transitioning to zero-emission heavy-duty freight vehicles
A system perspective on zero-emission heavy-duty road freight transport and challenges for a successful market entry
Alternative drive trains and fuels in road freight transport – recommendations for action in Germany
This paper develops theses and recommendations for action on climate protection in road freight transport in Germany. Scientists from the Fraunhofer ISI, Oeko-Institut and Institute for Energy and Environmental Research (ifeu) have…
