Electrifying heavy duty transport

Electrifying heavy‑duty transport is rapidly shifting from long‑term ambition to near‑term reality, driven by breakthroughs in vehicle technology, falling operating costs, and mounting regulatory pressure. The session will explore how quickly the sector can transition, what is technically and economically feasible today, and where the biggest barriers still lie. Key themes include vehicle readiness, battery and charging innovation, total cost of ownership, and the policy frameworks shaping adoption across regions.

At the same time, scaling the infrastructure required for zero‑emission trucks remains one of the most complex challenges in the transport transition. The discussion will examine the rollout of public and depot charging, grid capacity constraints, permitting hurdles, and the strategies needed to build reliable, high‑power networks at speed. Together, these conversations aim to give a clear picture of what it will take to electrify heavy‑duty transport at scale — and how close we are to making it a mainstream, competitive solution.
