- Abstract
- The rapid progression of the electrification of road transport in Sweden requires effective research based decisions on the location of charging infrastructure. The new European Union (EU) regulation for alternative fuel infrastructure (AFIR) specifies the maximum allowed distance between public fast-charging stations (FCSs) for heavy-duty trucks along the Trans-European Transport
Network (TEN-T). The impact of these requirements is assessed using a novel method that places charging infrastructure according to the geographical distribution of the vehicles’ energy needs. Our analysis shows that if charging infrastructure for road freight transport is placed based on the vehicles’ charging needs the EU regulation will not be met, at...

- Den snabba utvecklingen av elektrifiering av vägtransporter i Sverige kräver forskningsbaserade beslut om placeringen av laddinfrastruktur. Europeiska unionens (EU) nya förordning för infrastruktur för alternativa bränslen (AFIR) specificerar det maximala tillåtna avståndet mellan offentliga snabbladdningsstationer (FCS) för tunga lastbilar längs det transeuropeiska transportnätverket (TEN-T). Effekten av dessa krav bedöms med hjälp av en ny metod som placerar laddinfrastruktur baserat på den geografiska fördelningen av fordonens energibehov. Vår analys visar att om laddinfrastruktur för vägtransport placeras utifrån fordonens laddbehov kommer EU-förordningen inte att uppfyllas, åtminstone i vissa områden. Att följa förordningen skulle...

- Den snabba utvecklingen av elektrifiering av vägtransporter i Sverige kräver forskningsbaserade beslut om placeringen av laddinfrastruktur. Europeiska unionens (EU) nya förordning för infrastruktur för alternativa bränslen (AFIR) specificerar det maximala tillåtna avståndet mellan offentliga snabbladdningsstationer (FCS) för tunga lastbilar längs det transeuropeiska transportnätverket (TEN-T). Effekten av dessa krav bedöms med hjälp av en ny metod som placerar laddinfrastruktur baserat på den geografiska fördelningen av fordonens energibehov. Vår analys visar att om laddinfrastruktur för vägtransport placeras utifrån fordonens laddbehov kommer EU-förordningen inte att uppfyllas, åtminstone i vissa områden. Att följa förordningen skulle därför resultera i introduktionen av redundanta stationer, vilket minskar användningen och därmed lönsamheten för FCS. Artikeln rekommenderar ytterligare studier, exempelvis behovet av redundans för att skapa en pålitlig laddinfrastruktur. (Less)
