Introduction Decarbonizing the transport sector is crucial for mitigating climate change
Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) contribute disproportionately to greenhouse gas emissions The transportation sector accounts 28% of the total green House gas (GHG) emissions. 3
Electrification Electrification of heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) is the process of replacing diesel or petrol-powered HGVs with electric vehicles (Ev’s) 4

1) Plug-in Battery Electric Vehicle Technology High capacity/ bigger batteries required for long-haul routes It could reduce the HGVs’ cargo capacity and increase the total cost of ownership
Deployment requires sufficient charging infrastructure The long period during battery charging from static charging stations would also reduce the overall efficiency of the freight transportation 6
2) Electric Highway Technology Dynamic charging opportunity through catenary-pantograph interaction
Enables long-range operation with smaller batteries 7
Overhead Catenary system Catenary is a system of overhead wires used to supply electricity to hgv’s with a pantograph. Dynamic charging of HGVs through overhead catenary infrastructure shorter charging cycles, and smaller batteries 8
Challenges Plug-in Battery E V Electric Highway Infrastructure Costlier and heavier batteries High infrastructure costs Lack of charging infrastructure along long routes Standardization of HGV technology REQUIRED 9
Vehicle Platooning Vehicle platooning is a method of coordinating the movement of multiple vehicles to travel in close proximity to each other Front vehicle controlling the speed and the following vehicles driving closely behind 1

Conclusion IT has been observed that platooning of electrified HGVs, powered from overhead catenary cables, would be a sustainable solution for long-haul road freight transportation. This could be seen as an immediate solution to boost truck electrification without compromising on the payload capacity and range of operation of long-haul trucks for efficient freight movement. 2
