E-Charge is a Swedish innovation project gathering fourteen partners representing stakeholders from the industry and academia with the purpose of making an initial system demonstration of battery electric heavy-duty trucks for the long-haul application. The system demonstration to be conducted in E-Charge will be one of the first tests of battery electric trucks for long-haul application on public roads in Europe, utilizing the emerging MCS standard. A first pre-standard edition of MCS (Megawatt Charging System) will be tested within the project, supporting four real logistics flows in southern Sweden during a year’s time. Three MCS-chargers will be installed on public locations supporting prototype vehicles from two different vehicle manufacturers. Five PhD students are participating from four Swedish universities and are set to earn licentiate by the end of the project. The main research goal in E-Charge is to identify essential future research areas for the industry and academia within electrification of heavy-duty trucks. E-Charge is partially funded by the public sector through the Swedish research & innovation program for strategical vehicle research and innovation (FFI).
