Power Requirements for Charging Electric MHDV across Luxembourg Report
Resource
Summary
Cenex and FIER were commissioned by the Luxembourgish Government in 2022 to support the development of a policy framework and incentive scheme to decarbonise Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicles (MHDV) across the country, with the aim of reducing the environmental impact of the transport sector by 50% by 2030 (compared to a 2019 baseline).
The ‘Energy Transition in Luxembourg’s Logistics Sector’ report produced by Cenex and FIER in May 2023 outlines the commercial offering for low and zero emission MHDVs in Luxembourg and provides a summary of the financial incentive schemes offered by other European countries.
This report incorporates learnings from the previous work to additionally assess the need for electric vehicle charging infrastructure across Luxembourg and to better understand the additional power requirements at an individual site level.
Key Points
The report provides insights into the following:
- An understanding of power requirements for different truck locations across Luxembourg.
- Assessment of future electricity grid demands as the number of battery electric trucks increases.
- Development of a relationship between the number of battery electric trucks at a location and the additional power required for charging electric vehicles.
