Stockholm’s innovation in a defined plan/approach enables the accelerated introduction of public charging infrastructure for heavy vehicles in Stockholm and its surrounding region.
Initial challenges and needs
Within FastTrack, the team from Stockholm focused on urban logistics solutions. In particular, the team wanted to explore smarter solutions for the charging of heavy vehicles. The motivations for these activities were a mix of common issues, including congestion,
climate change (CO2-reduction and electrification targets), air pollution, noise, social exclusion, and an improved use of urban infrastructure. The solutions to be deployed, which are seen as innovative at the local level, are mainly related to an urban area, but will also include the large peri-urban area around Stockholm, which is roughly 6,500 square-kilometres.
A major challenge is that the City’s planning capacity is limited by a lack of reliable data concerning traffic movements of heavy vehicles. The City’s environmental zone and congestion charge systems mean there is an overall awareness about the number of vehicles entering and leaving the urban area, but there is less data on the patterns of vehicle movements and how this relates to e.g. logistics “hotspots” or availability of loading bays, and how such issues relate to charging needs, both with regard to terminal-based charging and…
