Electrification of transport

Heavy-duty transport is currently based on the use of fossil fuels. There is big potential to reduce the use of fossil fuels by electrification of transport. This shift leads to more energy-efficient transportation causing less greenhouse gas emissions and savings in the total cost of ownership. To accelerate this shift, powerful design optimization tools and methodologies such as model-based design approach, data-based modelling methodologies, and digital twins are needed to streamline the development cycle and improve the reliability of the overall design.

Project focuses to develop a versatile set of tools to accelerate the electrification of transport with emphasis on data-driven modelling and design optimization methodology and digital twin development. Furthermore, project develops knowledge, tools, and competences on the heavy-duty vehicle charging infrastructures and techno-economic assessment.
