Transfer freight transportation to sea or rail? The Norwegian government wants to facilitate the transfer of goods transportation from road to sea and rail National transportation plan With strong measures, it seems possible to transfer 1,8-2,6 % of freigth from road to sea and rail.

Infrastructure on heavily use roads addresses significant part of heavy duty vehicle (HDV) emissions GS KS LS BS BAB Length of road network Urban roads Non-urban roads Federal freeways CO 2 emissions from HDV The analysis of the German road network leads to the following key messages: 1 2 60% of the HDV emissions occur on 2% of the road network (BAB = 12,394 km) The most intensely used 3,966 km handle 60% of all ton-km on the BAB Image: HDV density on BAB-network ; Source: Verkehr in Zahlen 2012; TREMOD 2012 BAB = Federal freeways (12,394 km) BS = Federal roads (40,400 km) LS = State roads (86,600 km) KS = District roads (91,600 km) GS = Municipal roads (>420,000 km) Focusing first on the main freight transport routes, a significant decarbonization step can be achieved. This approach can be applied all over the world.
German industry association BDI recommends 4.000 to 8.000 km of overhead catenary lines as a cost-effective climate action for HDVs Background BDI commissioned an independent report looking at all sectors of the economy Investigated the most cost effective ways to reach German climate goals: -80% and -95% GHG Involved 68 BDI-member associations and companies, 200 industry experts and 40 workshops Major findings Reaching the 80% reduction is possible by pushing existing technologies to the max. Has economically positive effects, even if Germany acts alone. Reaching the 95% reduction goal touches the limit of what can be expected from technology and citizens. Only in joint action with G20 economies would this be economically manageable Transport highlights Shift to rail leads to an increase by 88% of ton-km of freight activity on rail by 2050 No additional biofuels for transport, because other sectors will be prepared to pay more PtX only in 95% scenario. Imported from Middle East & North Africa, and it will still be very pricey ehighway Building overhead catenary is the cheapest solution for HDVs, despite high infrastructure costs. Recommends building 4.000 km overhead contact line in the 80% scenario and 8.000 km in 95% Based on GER perspective. EU solution brings large synergies and is even more cost-effective Investment decision needs to be made by 2025, leading to first 400 km in operation by 2028.

Accumulated costs (2010 2050) in billion (compared to fossil fuels) In comparison to other solutions the ehighway proves its economic advantages 2016 UBA report compares different energy scenarios and options for a greenhouse-gas-neutral transport sector in 2050 To reach greenhouse gas (GHG) neutrality in the transport sector by 2050 scenarios four different energy supply strategies are developed and compared with each other For long haulage the scenario E+ assumes a wide utilization of OC-GIV (Overhead Catenary Grid- Integrated Vehicle) Energy supply Energy infrastructure Vehicles Fl+: PtL-liquid fuels as central GHG-free energy supply option E+: Electrical energy as central GHG-free energy supply option (plus Hybrid Fl+) CH4+: PtG-CH4 as central GHG-free energy supply option H2+: PtG-H2 as central GHG-free energy supply option Total costs The report verifies that the E+ scenario (corresponding to the ehighway) has approx. 50% less difference cost (CAPEX + OPEX) to the next proposed scenario (FL+) in comparison with the reference scenario*. Source: UBA: Erarbeitung einer fachlichen Strategie zur Energieversorgung des Verkehrs bis zum Jahr 2050 (2016) * The reference scenario is the Fl+ scenario but with conventional fuels. No taxes and environmental benefits are taken into consideration.
The potential of the ehighway technology ranges from closed shuttle applications to open highways solutions ehighway application cases Shuttle transport Solution for high frequency shuttle transport over short and medium distances (<50km), i.e. in ports or industrial areas Lower fuel consumption and longer lifetime Reduction of air and noise pollution Electrified mine transport Connection of pits and mines to storage or transit locations Minimization of harmful emissions Sustainable, clean and economical mine operation Electrified long-haul traffic Economical and sustainable alternative for road freight transport Significant reduction of CO 2 emissions Substantial cost savings for freight carriers The development path of road electrification can echo that of rail electrification a century ago
Possible semi-commercial pilot to take electric roads to the next level Swedish policy actions 85% of Swedish parliament recently voted for new climate law with goal of 70% reduction of domestic transport GHG emissions by 2030 Swedish Transport Administration (Trafikverket) given task to develop road map for electrified roads in time for next long term transportation plan (by 2022) A key part of preparing such a road map is the execution of a pilot project before the road map is completed, says Trafikverket Major Sweden-based trucking companies calling for ambitious pilot projects of new trucking technologies Existing demonstration project has performed above expectations and has strong stakeholders in place
