Abstract

Swedish stakeholders have expressed their opinions in an interview study on the three most necessary, existing, or non-existing, policy and regulatory measures to accelerate the transition to emission-free electric freight transports with Heavy Duty Trucks (HDTs) in regional operation in Sweden. The study has been carried out as part of a Swedish system demonstration project, REEL, that includes more than 70 battery electric heavy-duty vehicles and associated charging infrastructure, operating various types of commercial goods flows together with 45 Swedish stakeholders, e.g., transport buyers, freight forwarders, hauliers, terminal and grid operators, OEMs, national authorities, and academic partners. In the study, 71% argue that one...

Swedish stakeholders have expressed their opinions in an interview study on the three most necessary, existing, or non-existing, policy and regulatory measures to accelerate the transition to emission-free electric freight transports with Heavy Duty Trucks (HDTs) in regional operation in Sweden. The study has been carried out as part of a Swedish system demonstration project, REEL, that includes more than 70 battery electric heavy-duty vehicles and associated charging infrastructure, operating various types of commercial goods flows together with 45 Swedish stakeholders, e.g., transport buyers, freight forwarders, hauliers, terminal and grid operators, OEMs, national authorities, and academic partners. In the study, 71% argue that one of the three most important policy measures is the public co-funding for truck investment to even out the TCO between electric and conventional trucks. 41% argue that the introduction of emission-free zones is a crucial policy measure. After the interview study, a follow-up work was carried out, in which a position paper was written together with the REEL actors. The position paper should be seen as a joint proposal from the REEL actors. Since many Swedish stakeholders argued that emission-free zones could be a crucial policy measure, and Sweden has yet to use that option, a study will be conducted to analyse and suggest how emission-free zones could be used in a Swedish context.
