Advancing automatic charging for electric heavy vehicles

NTU Singapore, through the Energy Research Institute @ NTU, has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Elonroad, ALBA W&H Smart City and Scania to advance the evaluation of automatic conductive stationary charging for electric heavy vehicles in Singapore. The MoU was signed during a State Visit by President Tharman Shanmugaratnam to Sweden. It was signed in the presence of President Tharman, His Majesty King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden, Mr Andreas Carlson, Minister for Infrastructure and Housing, Sweden, Mr Masagos Zulkifli, Minister for Social and Family Development of Singapore, and Jan Larsson, CEO of Business Sweden. 

ERI@N has been working closely with Elonroad AB, a Swedish electric road charging specialist to advance smart charging technologies for sustainable mobility. Together with our new partners ALBA W&H Smart City and Scania, we will work towards supporting fleet electrification for a greener transport ecosystem.

Elonroad, which leads the charging technology for Project GreenFreight, will coordinate the application to LTA under its Sandbox for Electric Vehicle Charging Systems. ERI@N will support the initiative through research and pre-compliance testing, while ALBA will serve as the use case for the project with Scania supporting the installation of the charging technologies on Scania vehicles.

We are excited to continue our partnership with Elonroad, and look forward to working with our new partners to advance more sustainable mobility solutions.
