Electrifying your fleet: moving from obstacles to solutions
Brought to you by F&L, the Smart Freight Centre (SFC) and the EIC D2XCEL programme
We all know we will have to decarbonise our fleets sooner or later. In many cases electrification is the best solution. But we are very good at bringing up arguments why this is not (yet) feasible.
In the session we will focus on the solutions that are available NOW to address these (perceived or true) obstacles. Covering the complete picture, including vehicles, charging infrastructure, renewable energy supply, and digital routing and charging management. You will hear about innovative solutions in each of those areas and discuss how they can be deployed now – to overcome concerns we have and speed up the electrification transition.
Moderated by Willem Bulthuis (D2XCEL) & Thomas Bouwman (Smart Freight Centre) with industry leader panel.
