HDV Electrification Pathway Report
The HDV Electrification Pathway Working Group was established by ZEVI to support the electrification of the heavy-duty fleet in Ireland.
Following an open invitation seeking expressions of interest, the Working Group was established with representatives from groups including the road transport and logistics sector, charge point operators, vehicle manufacturers, motor industry representatives, academia and public policy officials.
The purpose of the Group is to:
- Ensure strong industry input into the development of a HDV Electrification Pathway
- Share knowledge and learnings with a view to progressing HDV electrification
- Investigate barriers to the uptake of zero emission heavy duty vehicles
- Establish the strengths and opportunities for the roll out of HDV infrastructure
- Identify domestic and international case studies that provide opportunities for further
knowledge sharing.
The Working Group was tasked with producing the following report which focuses exclusively on electrification. This is not to exclude other alternative fuels but recognises the level of maturity of the technology adoption both nationally and internationally.
In addition, the report recommendations have been developed through a collaborative process with the sector, based on detailed analysis from the sector which considered the respective merits and challenges of all alternative fuel options.
The recommendations provide potential policy measures based on the collaborative work undertaken with the sector and other key stakeholders facilitated by ZEVI.
