This presentation explains system analysis of electric trucks from technical, economic, and user perspectives, and what the findings say about the system’s maturity. It highlights key challenges and argues that Sweden has likely passed the tipping point for the adoption of electric trucks. Two milestones remain, but they appear almost inevitable.

The talk also offers an inside view of the transition process, explaining why its progress is often unclear. Public debate often gives a confusing picture, and I will share thoughts on why this happens and how to still draw some useful conclusions.

About

Anders Grauers is an associate professor at Chalmers University of Technology and an Electric vehicle specialist within the Swedish Electromobility Centre. He has previously worked at Volvo Cars, developing active safety systems and serving as a technical specialist on Autonomous Driving Support Systems. Prior to that, he was a researcher in electric power engineering.

Anders’ focus is system-oriented research on electric vehicles and their charging infrastructure, spanning technical, economical and user aspects. He has been working in several projects on how to build and operate electric buses, trucks and cars in a cost-effective way. The research is aiming to find vehicle types which are suitable for starting the electrification of road transport, and to identify and eliminate obstacles for their introduction.
