ELMAS-Electrified and efficient Mass transports in urban areas
The project is a system demonstrator within FFI and focuses on testing the potential of HCT vehicles in urban traffic, both with conventional combustion engines and BEV trucks, in order to improve energy and transport efficiency and contribute to a more sustainable urban environment with fewer heavy vehicles. for the same transport mission.
The project builds on previous initiatives such as HCT‑City and FEMAS. The project will record fuel and load‑capacity data from real-world operations involving bulk transports in Skåne. The goal is to investigate the benefits of different axle configurations and lay the foundation for battery‑electric, heavy 5‑axle tipper trucks. The hypothesis is that CO₂ emissions can be reduced by up to 40%, and the number of heavy trucks can be cut in half.
In addition, the project will:
- Further develop networks and collaborative platforms to disseminate project results and create the conditions for upgrading the road network to BK4.
- Contribute to national regulatory changes through knowledge generation, information dissemination, and policy engagement.
- Spread project results nationally and internationally to inspire broader implementation of HCT solutions in Sweden.
