The Future of HGVs: Electric or Hydrogen?

Long-haul heavy duty road freight is one of the sectors of the economy that is difficult to decarbonise. The energy and power requirements of heavy goods vehicles are high, making battery-electric operations challenging. The solution to the problem lies not in the vehicle, but in the electricity charging infrastructure. This has to be fitted to the logistics operations of the vehicle and the transport fleet. This talk will discuss this problem and show how it can be solved in the UK context.

ABOUT IEEE ITSC 2022

Blockchain-based ITS: The Human Use of Cyber-Physical-Social Transportation Systems

The 25th IEEE International Conference on Intelligent Transportation Systems (IEEE ITSC 2022) is the annual flagship conference sponsored by the IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Society. From 1997 to 2021, it has been held 24 times, covering 24 cities in 12 countries in Asia, Europe, North America, South America and Oceania. The main conference of the 25th IEEE ITSC 2022 will be held in Macau, China. IEEE ITSC 2022 welcomes articles and presentations in the areas of intelligent transportation systems and automated driving, conveying new advances and developments in theory, modeling, simulation, testing, case studies, as well as large-scale deployment. The conference particularly invites and encourages prospective authors to share their recent research work, findings, perspectives, and developments related to advanced blockchain-based intelligent transportation systems.
