Virtual International Workshop "Electric Road Systems - Business Models"

22 June 2021, online

Task Force "Electric Road Systems (ERS)" of PIARC organized on June 22nd 2021 the second ERS workshop, which was focused on Business Models. PIARC invited experts, regulators, road infrastructure concessionaires, vehicles manufacturers, power suppliers and logistics operators for a very interesting workshop which was rich on complementary views regarding electrification with focus on ERS and its business models.

The presentations were followed by a very interesting debate.

Workshop Proceedings

The international Paris Agreement about the climate challenge (UNFCCC) calls for action in every aspect of the modern society. There is a need for decarbonizing transport all over the world both for freight and passengers. The sector is mobilised, and particularly the road transport, which represents more than 75% of global inland transport.

Electrification of the road systems will be an important solution and contribution for the states to reach their climate goals in reduction of CO2-emissions. Electric Road Systems ("ERS" - also known as dynamic charging) can be one piece in the puzzle of how to reduce the transport systems' contribution to CO2 emissions.
