In 2023, FIER Sustainable Mobility, the agency RVO from the Netherlands and e-mobil BW GmbH, organized workshops concerning cross-border heavy duty vehicle (HDV) charging. Developing a robust charging infrastructure for HDV’s is vital to enable sustainable transport. Following the publication of the AFIR, the Netherlands and Germany – both frontrunners in this field – are strengthening their cooperation, especially along the Rotterdam-Stuttgart route. Last autumn, a workshop at IAA Mobility identified obstacles, and a G2G webinar addressed policy challenges in the concerned provinces and federal states. Discussions during a November visit by NOW GmbH and the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport in the Netherlands further highlighted the importance of cross-border knowledge sharing.
This year, we will continue to facilitate this exchange with a follow up workshop at the IAA Transportation 2024 in Hannover. The aim of this workshop is to work together towards solutions for the identified obstacles and policy challenges. We will set up an interactive program that supports market players and governments by sharing lessons learned from German and Dutch projects / initiatives.
Some examples of knowledge that will be shared are the LoLa and HoLa initiatives, the Dutch approach to public-private cooperation in the field of electric charging and the strategic localization research of the Ministry of Transport from Baden Württemberg. After the interactive workshop the afternoon will end with a networking event at the NL Pavillion (boothnr C71 in Hall 25).
We would like to cordially invite you to the workshop and networking event. Please pre-register in the link below. A more detailed program will follow soon!
