(CercleFinance.com) – Enedis, TotalEnergies, VINCI Autoroutes and six European manufacturers – Iveco, MAN Truck & Bus France, Mercedes-Benz Trucks, Renault Trucks, Scania and Volvo Trucks – have joined forces to assess the needs and challenges of electrification of long-distance road freight transport and more particularly roaming charging on the main French roads.
Manufacturers have embarked on the path of developing battery-electric heavy goods vehicles, the main zero-emission exhaust technology.
According to the study carried out, 12,200 charging points will be necessary for the sole charging of roaming heavy goods vehicles at 519 service and rest areas.
The press release specifies that roaming charging of heavy goods vehicles alone could represent, by 2035, an energy consumption of 3.5 TWh/year (to compare with the French annual consumption, of the order of 615 TWh in 20351) and a power demand of 1.1 GW at peak.
The conclusions of this study should allow stakeholders in the sector to have a reliable vision and estimate, on a national scale, of the power, energy, number of charging points and necessary infrastructure work. to the rapid electrification of long-distance road transport.
