Abstract
The municipal of Amsterdam plans to implement a zero emission (ZE) zone by 2025. A plan is required to implement a battery electric truck (BET) charging infrastructure. To derive at the preferred feasible BET charging infrastructures, the research assesses the available BET, available charging methods, stakeholder perception, and BET energy demand in the municipality of Amsterdam. The research suggests a stationary catenary charging infrastructure, with the carrier, shipper, and charging point operator responsible for constructing, maintaining, and operating the charging stations. The municipal should take a pro-active role in the implementation and are advised to postpone the ZE zone implementation to give more time for technology development of BET and stationary catenary, and give more time for the construction of the charging stations.
