This is one of the industry\u2019s biggest trends and undoubtedly the most important single enabler of OEMs\u2019 sustainability ambitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s because emissions arising from products sold and in use represent the biggest and most challenging element of truck OEMs\u2019 total emissions. Switching sales from ICE trucks to EVs is crucial in reducing these downstream emissions, which fall within Scope 3 of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We will be talking mainly about BEVs here, but most of the discussion applies equally to FCEVs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-balance-isn-t-shifting-fast-enough-towards-e-mobility\"><strong>The balance isn\u2019t shifting fast enough towards        e-mobility<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Truck OEMs are pushing hard in this area \u2013 virtually all have already launched BEV trucks onto the market. And they all have ambitious plans to grow the proportion of their portfolio represented by BEVs. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.volvogroup.com\/en\/sustainable-transportation\/responsible-business\/climate.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Volvo Trucks, for example, has set itself a target of 50% fully electric vehicles by 2030 and aims to reach net zero in its value chain by 2040.<\/a> Similarly, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scania.com\/group\/en\/home\/electrification.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Scania has estimated that 50% of its vehicle sales will be electric by the end of the decade<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scania.com\/group\/en\/home\/electrification.html\">.<\/a> Other truck OEMs have similar ambitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, many truck companies are finding the EV segment of their portfolio is not growing as fast as they need it to. This is mainly because their customers are strongly TCO-driven, and the TCO just isn\u2019t attractive enough compared with ICE trucks. In addition, concerns remain about range limitations and insufficient charging infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As well as jeopardizing net zero targets, slow take-up of electromobility creates a <strong>Catch-22 situation<\/strong> because, while cost is a barrier to take-up, high volumes are needed to drive costs down.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Truck OEMs have the power to accelerate EV    take-up<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore truck OEMs urgently need to improve EV take-up. Here are three ways they can start doing so now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. <strong>Formulate a clear go-to-market strategy and organization<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The go-to-market strategy is an important determinant of EV success, and the right internal organization is key. Although the process of selling EVs is longer and more complex than that for conventional trucks, my personal opinion is that EV sales should come within the traditional sales organization, which already knows the customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, the sales organization needs to be motivated to promote EVs, which involves setting appropriate KPIs and targets. At the same time, salespeople need training and tools to equip them with the competencies to satisfy customers\u2019 EV concerns. In addition, the salespeople need to know how to work with other stakeholders within the wider automotive ecosystem, such as power companies and providers of charging equipment, to create the right package for each customer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sales force also needs to be conversant with the arguments for EVs, both financial and environmental. In contrast with image-conscious private car users, truck customers are firmly focused on commercial realities, and will usually only buy an EV if they are convinced that it makes business sense. This won\u2019t happen unless salespeople themselves are convinced of the case for EVs, and therefore education is key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color\"><strong><em>Major benefits of EVs<\/em><\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\"><em>Many authorities consider EVs the #1 technology for the decarbonization of road transport. Aside from CO<sub>2<\/sub> reduction, other benefits include noise reduction, which means that trucks can continue to operate at night, even in cities. This brings both general productivity benefits and specific advantages in areas such as waste removal and distribution.<br><br>Circular economy benefits include the possibility of giving truck batteries a second life in industries such as energy storage support and backup. Cutting waste like this brings financial as well as automotive sustainability benefits. In addition, EVs can store energy, potentially offsetting fluctuations in wind and solar power and hence facilitating growth in renewable energy use.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. <strong>Put customers\u2019 minds at rest via connected services and other tech tools<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Truck OEMs should offer software tools and services that address customers\u2019 questions, such as simulators for calculating a fleet\u2019s battery and charging needs, and the implications for routing. We\u2019ll discuss the important topic of automotive-connected services in more detail later in this blog series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ecosystem partners are likely to deliver many of the solutions required, and it\u2019s vital to work out who will be responsible for what, as we discussed in an earlier article in this series, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/insights\/expert-perspectives\/the-commercial-vehicle-ecosystem-who-will-do-what\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><em>The commercial vehicle ecosystem \u2013 who will do what?<\/em><\/a><em> <\/em>Typically, services that access critical vehicle functions, as well as those relating to productivity and other top operational priorities, will be among those provided by the OEM itself. Still, many others can be left to third parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. <strong>Develop an adequate charging infrastructure<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, customers will not experience true peace of mind until charging anxieties are satisfactorily addressed. For fleet managers, the risk that a truck will not be fully utilized because of charging issues can be a deal-breaker. Fortunately, this risk can be virtually eliminated using route planning and battery monitoring services in the context of adequate charging infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To provide this infrastructure, OEMs need to collaborate with energy industry partners and major customers to agree on strategy and responsibilities; they may well decide to invest in the infrastructure themselves. Design complexities include deciding how to use public charging points versus those at the depot, and which types of chargers should be used where. Additional options for trucks include megawatt chargers, which deliver higher power at a higher cost.<br><br>It should be remembered that trucks can\u2019t usually use existing infrastructure because of their need for bigger parking spaces and access routes, and for drawing higher levels of energy from the grid. Dedicated infrastructure for trucks is likely to be needed, therefore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Truck OEMs can\u2019t wait for the charging challenge to solve itself. Each company should undertake a proactive study of its customers\u2019 charging requirements, evaluate potential business models for strategic fit, and then create an implementation roadmap for its chosen model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color\"><strong><em>European infrastructure requirements, and official plans to meet them<\/em><\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><em>ACEA, the European Automobile Manufacturers\u2019 Association, believes that trucks in the EU region will need 10,000\u201015,000 higher power public and destination charging points by 2025, and 40,000\u201050,000 by 2030. By this later date, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acea.auto\/figure\/interactive-map-truck-charging-points-needed-in-europe-by-2025-and-2030-per-country\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ACEA says there should also be 40,000 lower-power public overnight chargers at truck parking areas<\/a>.<br>&nbsp;<br>Recent EU initiatives to address this need include the Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR), which requires governments to provide at least 3,600 kW of electric truck charging capacity every 60 km on primary motorways and 1,500 kW of truck charging capacity every 100 km on secondary motorways. The regulation also calls for charging hubs in every major city and charging stations in designated truck parking areas. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.transportenvironment.org\/discover\/eu-deal-on-truck-charging-clears-the-way-for-ambitious-co2-targets-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">2030 is the deadline for all these requirements but there are also interim targets<\/a>.<br>&nbsp;<br>Although the regulation has been criticized for not going far or fast enough, it provides manufacturers with a useful basis for their infrastructure roadmaps.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Moving forward through concerted action<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With the actions suggested above, OEMs should be able to significantly increase EV take-up in the short to medium term, accelerating progress toward automotive sustainability goals. As ever, though, they can\u2019t do it all on their own. They need help from a wider range of ecosystem partners, and, just as importantly, from governments, which should use fiscal and other measures to make the TCO of EVs more favourable relative to ICE vehicles so that cost-conscious truck buyers become willing to embrace e-mobility. We\u2019ll revisit these topics in later articles, and will also take a deeper dive into the two key e-mobility enablers: connected services and charging.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-cg-blocks-wrapper-people-slider section section--expert-slider wrapper-people-slider undefined\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"content-title\"><h3 data-maxlength=\"34\">About Author<\/h3><\/div><\/div><div class=\"slider slider-boxed\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"slider-window\"><div class=\"slider-list\">\n\t\t<div class=\"slide\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"box\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-md-6 col-lg-4 box-img-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/ca-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2024\/09\/Fredrik-Almhojd.png\" alt=\"Fredrik Almh\u00f6jd \u2013 Our expert\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-md-6 col-lg-8 box-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row title-social-media-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-md-12 col-lg-6 mbl-social-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"social-nav\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"subnav-button--form\" href=\"javascript:void(0)\" aria-label=\"contact us\" data-bs-toggle=\"modal\" data-bs-target=\"#WPB7304e58f_167d_4015_a883_2df5a713d837\" data-bs-expert-title=\"1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"ico-form\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-md-12 col-lg-6 box-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box-title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"people-profile-title\">Fredrik Almh\u00f6jd<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>Director,\u00a0Capgemini Invent<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-md-12 col-lg-6 social-box-container dkt-social-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"social-nav\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"subnav-button--form\" href=\"javascript:void(0)\" aria-label=\"contact us\" data-bs-toggle=\"modal\" data-bs-target=\"#WPB7304e58f_167d_4015_a883_2df5a713d837\" data-bs-expert-title=\"Fredrik Almh\u00f6jd\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"ico-form\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"people-info\">Fredrik Almh\u00f6jd is Capgemini\u2019s Go-to-Market Lead for Commercial Vehicles in the Nordics, with 25+ years of sector experience plus extensive knowhow in Sales &#038;
