Electrification in Project Logistics: Overcoming Infrastructure & Technology Barriers
Electrification is gaining traction in logistics, but can current technology meet the demands of project cargo and heavy-lift transport? While electric trucks and port equipment are emerging, battery limitations, engine power requirements, and infrastructure gaps remain significant challenges. This session explores how manufacturers are developing electric solutions for heavy transport, the role of ports in supporting shore power and charging networks, and what’s needed to scale electrification across the supply chain. Industry leaders will share case studies on the technological advancements, policy incentives, and real-world applications shaping the future of sustainable project logistics.
Potential speakers/case studies:
Port of Rotterdam
Port of NEOM
