The Centre for Sustainable Road Freight would like to invite interested parties to the 12th International Workshop on Sustainable Road Freight Transport.

Scaling-up the electrification of road freight transport presents several key challenges. One major issue is the need for robust charging infrastructure, especially in regions with limited access to high-capacity charging stations. Battery technology is a critical concern. While progress is being made, current batteries still have limitations in terms of range and weight, which affect the ability of electric trucks to perform long-haul routes. The long charging times compared to refuelling conventional diesel trucks remain a significant barrier for fleet operators, who require quick turnaround times for their vehicles. Moreover, the environmental impact and sustainability of battery production, particularly around sourcing raw materials, presents additional challenge, especially in today’s unstable socio-economic and political climate.
