GHG-emissions of road freight transport are becoming an increasing challenge for the decarbonization 1) Reductions goals of GHG-emissions by 2050 Economy wide goal of the German government: reduction by 80% to 95% (basis 1990) Transport-sector: reduction of 98% necessary 2) Transport sector as GHGemitter 20% of all GHG-emissions generated by transport sector Increase by 5.4 m. tons emissions in Germany`s transport sector in 2016 The Challenge 3) Prognosticated growth in road freight transport Global road freight transport is going to grow by 300% between 2015 and 2050 In Germany road freight transport grew between 2015 and 2016 by 2.8% 4) Modal split of freight transport in 2050 German freight approx. 60% on road By using the maximum of shift potentials, rail freight is growing up to 30% by 2050 Page 2 Sources: Klimaschutzbeitrag des Verkehrs bis 2050, Umweltbundesamt, Texte 56/2016, Juni 2016; Erarbeitung einer fachlichen Strategie zur Energieversorgung des Verkehrs bis zum Jahr 2050, Umweltbundesamt, Texte 72/2016, November 2016 ITF Transport Outlook 2017, Januar 2017 Umweltbundesamt, Pressemitteilung Nr. 09 vom 20.03.2017

Electricity demand in TWh Relevance of efficiency in transport- and energy transition Electricity demand for indirect und direct electrification of the transport sector depending on efficiency of propulsion system in 2050 Electricity demand of the transport sector in 2050 would be approx. 41% over the gross electricity production in 2016 within the scenario of fuels from electricity, which only have a low Well-to-wheel (WTW) efficiency of 20-25%. Share of O-Truck** among the reduction of 372 TWh* towards the scenario fuels from electricity : Gross electricity production German 2016 Whereas the electricity demand of the transport sector within the scenario with direct use of electricity (e.g. through the use of Overhead-Trucks with a WTW efficiency of approx. 80-85%) would be below the gross electricity production in 2016. Scenario fuels from electricity - 109 TWh These reductions are equal to the German gross electricity production from on/offshore wind parks and solar panels in 2016. Direct electricity Electricity based Scenario direct use of electricity Source: Agora Verkehrswende (2017), p. 64; Öko-Institut (2016), p. 20; AGEB (2016); Renewbility III (2016); Fraunhofer ISE (2017) Efficiency of solutions for the decarbonization of the transport sector play an elementary role in future transport- and energy transition. Only efficient solutions with the lowest possible use of limited resources are going to be able to decarbonize the transport sector and to guarantee a sufficient energy supply simultaneously. Page 6 * The remaining reduction of 263 TWh towards fuels from electricity are primary resulting through the use of BEV, electric busses/trains and electric delivery vehicles. ** Based on an expansion of the overhead-cantenary-infrastructure on german highways of 8.000km (both directions) and a percentage of 64% of road freight transport to be electric. *** Through the fact that in both scenarios fuels from electricity would be used in air- and water transport, the energy demand of the scenario with direct use of energy is still at a very high figure of 542 TWh unless there are no further efficiency improvements.
ehighway supports a cost and energy efficient energy supply system thanks to its smooth load profiles Detailed load profiles from BEV, PHEV and ehighway, and supply though conventional and renewable generation in Germany Flexible distributed loads are essential for an energy supply based mainly on fluctuating renewable based generation The charging of BEV and PHEV vehicles leads to daily peak loads. ehighway exhibits a smoother load profile. ehighway-enabled trucks using hybrid drives (e.g. combustion engine using sustainable biofuels) can contribute to system peak load reduction (active load management/deferable load). Grid connected ehighway truck systems enable a more efficient use of energy. Page 7 Source: http://www.energieversorgung-elektromobilitaet.de/kernaussagen.html
Infrastructure on heavily use roads addresses significant part of heavy duty vehicle (HDV) emissions Urban roads The analysis of the German road network leads to the following key messages: GS KS Non-urban roads Federal freeways 1 60% of the HDV emissions occur on 2% of the road network (BAB = 12,394 km) LS BS BAB The most intensely used Length of road network CO 2 emissions from HDV 2 3,966 km handle 60% of all ton-km on the BAB 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.
