Abstract

The study analyzes the potential of the ERS infrastructure along two important freight transport corridors from the port of Rotterdam to Germany and Belgium. The results show that investments in ERS, under favorable conditions, can be socially cost-effective compared to a BEV-only approach. They offer further advantages, such as the possibility of equipping LWKs with smaller batteries and shorter charging times.
