Charging Ahead: The Electrification of Transportation Infrastructure

Welcome speech by Deputy Mayor and municipal commissioner of Lund, Rasmus Törnblom.

When it comes to sustainability in road transport, few have as much knowledge on the topic as David Cebon, Professor of Mechanical Engineering in Cambridge University and a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering. The presentation focuses on viable options for the main challenges with electrification of road freight, and gives a comparison of some of the options.

Welcome to dive into both more general as well as specific topics on charging infrastructure and sustainable transportation solutions, moderated by experts in each area. Connect with the guest speakers and conference guests on a topic of your preference.

Roundtable topics (examples, full presentation here):

- Logistics. What is the role of charging infrastructure in the nexus of costs, space and workflow? ​Discussion on how funding and collaborations between users can speed up large-scale roll-outs.​
- Future of Cross-border ERS: How do we overcome the current and foreseeable limitations in long-range e-mobility?
- Cities and Public transport: How do we accelerate urban and regional emission-free public transportation through smart infrastructure?

Lunch is served.
