Abstract
Electrification of heavy-duty road freight transport is an important step to reduce the carbon emissions of the transport sector. Major investments are being considered for the transitioning of truck fleets with heavy batteries as well as new charging infrastructure. Until recently the emphasis for infrastructure has been on charging stations, while dynamic charging is an important alternative to consider. This paper summarizes recent research results about dynamic charging and argues for integrative network design, where stationary and dynamic technologies work together. It concludes with main research & development challenges.
