Operational Insights from Logistics Actors: Running 70 Electric Heavy-Duty Trucks in Sweden
Opportunities and challenges in regional electrified logistics have been demonstrated by an innovative project; REEL, which combines both confidential and open research and innovation. The system demonstration includes more than 70 battery electric heavy-duty trucks, and associated charging infrastructure, operating various types of commercial goods flows. A total of 45 Swedish stakeholders, including 32 logistics operators, are part of the project. This paper presents findings from an in-depth interview study conducted with the logistics operators. The study explores key areas such as operational experiences with electric trucks and charging infrastructure, policy concerns, business model implications, and the potential for scaling up the system.

Electrified road freight transport in the Nordics: status, challenges and opportunities
Decarbonising freight transport can significantly reduce emissions while affecting a limited number of vehicles.This article examines the state of freight transport electrification in the Nordics. High vehicle cost, limited charging infrastructure, unclear policies, and difficult interoperability have been identified as major challenges. On the other hand, the region’s innovation capacity, digitalization and environmental awareness, together with a low-carbon electricity mix make it particularly suited for the electrification of freight transport.

Toward Framework for a Collaborative Business Model for Urban Freight Microhubs
This study explores collaborative business models in urban freight logistics, focusing on microhubs that can reduce emissions, traffic, and delivery distances in cities. With freight transport responsible for 30% of EU road emissions and urban congestion, microhubs offer a sustainable solution but face challenges due to the need for cooperation among competing logistics actors. Traditional business models are insufficient for this, as they lack structures that support multi-actor collaboration. Building on Vargas et al. (2018), this research proposes a framework with essential factors—Orchestration, Mutual Consideration, Trust, and Adaptation—needed to enhance cooperation in urban microhub ecosystems. Through a literature review the study aims to conceptualise the collaboration element of the business model and test in the REDIG case study involving logistics partners and city representatives. Expected outcomes include a conceptual model for collaborative logistics and practical insights, contributing both academically and practically to sustainable urban delivery solutions.

The impact of Zero Emission Zones on Sweden's Electrification of Heavy-duty Trucks
This study analyzes how the implementation of coordinated zero-emission zones in Sweden's two largest cities could be used to speed up the transition to electric heavy-duty trucks on a national level. Based on GPS waypoint data this study analyzes what share of the current fleet of heavy-duty trucks in Sweden that would be affected by such zones but more importantly how they would be affected. Preliminary results indicate that already with one larger zone in Stockholm, 25% of the vehicle fleet is affected. By combining real vehicle data with different policy instruments, ranging from a ban on conventional vehicles to differentiated tariffs based on emissions, this study will provide policy makers with a novel understanding of the practical outcome from various zero-emission zones variations.

Digitalization of Electrified Logistics Systems Facilitating Scale-Up
Opportunities and challenges in regional electrified logistics have been demonstrated in the REEL project. The need for scale-up of electrified logistics operations with trucks has resulted in a need for many applications to digitalize the management and control systems involved. To accomplish this there is a need to map and digitally characterize all “objects” involved in the management and control, and data that need to be flowing between the sub-systems involved.  A method and process for this work has been introduced and data has been identified. Opportunities of using existing or creating new standards to enable interoperable system solutions have been initiated.

The Road to Zero Emissions: Policy Innovation and Electrification in Freight Transport
The European transport sector is facing an unprecedented wave of legislative initiatives from the EU, collectively requiring swift adaptation and strategic action. Failure to navigate these changes risks undermining both competitiveness and the credibility of climate goals. Reaching a fossil-free freight sector by 2050 demands transformative policy innovation to drive electrification and sustainable logistics. Drawing on the Triple F initiative, this paper explores how policy innovation can be used as a lever to support the further build-up of a resilient, electrified transport ecosystem. By championing a policy driven approach, Europe can lead the way to a zero-emission future, setting a global standard in sustainable freight.

Investigating the Impact of Electrifying Heavy-Duty Trucks on Power Grids Using Agent-based Simulation and Probabilistic Load Modelling
This paper investigates the integration of two detailed simulation methods: agent-based simulation of road transport and probabilistic load simulation with a power grid model. This combination enables a comprehensive analysis of the impact of electrified vehicles on the power grid. Through case studies, which depend on available model input data, the power grid impact of full-electric road freight in the region Skåne is studied. The findings from the joint method development show great potential to accurately capture the energy demand from a potentially full-electric transport sector, which is imperative input to power grid models. The agent-based simulation generates probabilistic power demand time series per charging station. Using these as input in the power grid model, the probabilistic load for real substation transformers and power lines and the likelihood of overloading are calculated.

E-Charge: Initial system demonstration of MCS-capable battery electric heavy-duty trucks
E-Charge is a Swedish innovation project with the goal of setting-up and operating an initial system demonstration for battery electric long-haul trucks. Four prototype trucks are demonstrated in real-world logistics flows across southern Sweden. The vehicles have a range to drive for 300 km or 4.5 hours on one charge. Three of the trucks will be compatible with the emerging MCS (megawatt charging system) standard allowing the trucks to fully charge in 45 minutes, about 2-3 times faster than what is currently available on the market in terms of truck and charger capabilities. The project consortium consists of 14 research and industry partners including Scania and Volvo, building two prototype trucks each. MCS charging will take place at public locations with prototype equipment developed by ABB. By June 2025 initial results and experiences from the system demonstration will be presented to the public at EVS38.

Electromobility in Sweden: Navigating the Phases of Change and Global Influence
Sweden, a nation of just over 10 million people, has a strong reliance on its automotive industry, and has begun its journey towards electromobility. This paper employs a comprehensive literature review, incorporating gray literature, industry documents, media reports, and authors' industry insights to analyze Sweden’s electromobility transition across four key phases. Key phases include early exploration (1990–2000), national strategy (2001–2010), expansion and infrastructure (2011–2020), and mainstream adoption (2021–2024). Despite high EV adoption, subsidy cuts in 2022 slowed growth, particularly in light-duty vehicles. Swedish industry is progressing toward fossil-free production, yet Europe faces challenges in battery value chain development, regulatory constraints, and global competition. Sweden’s experience underscores the need for long-term, consistent, competency-driven policies for electromobility.
