SUMMARY:SEC PhD Student Network webinar – Beyond Charging: Enabling the Transition to Electric Heavy-Duty Transport
DESCRIPTION:Charging heavy-duty vehicles is more than a technical challenge. It represents a critical transition for the entire transport and logistics sector\, requiring infrastructure\, technology\, and sustainability to work together. Although heavy-duty vehicles are fewer in number than passenger cars\, they account for a significant share of emissions\, making electrification a key factor in reducing the sector’s climate impact. \nThe EU is driving this transition through clear regulatory frameworks\, while the economic case for electrification is strengthened by lower energy and maintenance costs. However\, challenges remain\, including insufficient charging infrastructure\, limited interoperability\, and business models that are still evolving. In addition\, vehicles and charging infrastructure need to be scaled up in parallel to avoid the classic “chicken-and-egg” dilemma. TRATON Charging Solutions is working to address these challenges and create the conditions needed for the future of electrified transport. \nAbout the speaker\nPetra Sundström is an experienced leader with an academic background. For more than 10 years\, she was based at SICS\, the Swedish Institute of Computer Science\, where she was part of the management team of the Mobile Life Centre\, a 10-year VINN Excellence Centre. In 2014\, she left academia and has since built and developed digital businesses at Husqvarna\, Sandvik\, and\, most recently\, within the TRATON Group. Today\, she is Managing Director of TRATON Charging Solutions AB\, where she is building the foundation for the European charging services for both Scania and MAN. \n  \nDate            7 October 2026\nTime           13:00–14:00\nLocation     Online – registered participants will receive the Teams link after registration has closed. \n  \nPlease register HERE for the webinar. \nRegister by 5 October 2026.
