Motivation of the ENUBA project- Elektromobilität bei schweren Nutzfahrzeugen zur Umweltenlastung von Ballungsräumen1

1 Translation: Electromobility for heavy commercial vehicles to decrease environmental pollution in urban agglomerations

Road-freight emissions are a major challenge

An electric alternative is missing

Freight traffic in Europe is expected to double upon 2050

Goal of the EU-Commission:Reduce CO2-Emission to 80% of 1990 level by 2050

Logistics optimization and capacity investment of rail system cannot significantly reduce heavy duty road transport

Heavy duty road transport is responsible for a third of overall transportation-related CO2-emissions – technical solutions are still absent


Electrified logistics concepts comprise external power supply and on-board storage systems

Optimized efficiency due to direct energy transmission

Energy recuperation and exchange between decelerating and accelerating trucks, excess brake energy feed-in into power grid possible

Experiences from rail and tramway underline extensive life-cycles and low operation and maintenance costs

Safety of catenary system operation has been proven in various road traffic applications (e.g. trolley buses, tramways)

Swift integration into existing traffic infrastructure and no concessions on operation of alternative vehicles

Siemens eHighway

eHighway system description

An approach to electrified heavy duty road transport, which reduces emissions, is economically feasible and efficient

eHighway – electrification of hybrid trucks via an overhead catenary system


eHighway is developing quickly and is ready for commercial use in near future

Current status Next steps

Signed first development cooperation with significant OEM Test track 2,1 km with road realistic conditions including curves, sign post, etc and equipedwith traffic managment systems (SCADA)

Vehicles designed specifically for eHighway and commercial use availableFirst demonstration on public road and/or commercial use project (e.g. USA or Sweden)

Recent publicity


Electrified long-haul trafficEconomical and sustainable alternative for road freight transportSignificant reduction of CO2emissionsSubstantial cost savings for freight carriers

Potential eHighway applications

Electrified mine transportConnection of pits and mines to storage or transit locationsMinimization of harmful emissionsSustainable, clean and economical mine operation

Shuttle transportSolution for high frequency shuttle transport over short and medium distances (<50km)Lower fuel consumption and longer lifetimeReduction of air and noise pollution

Main eHighway applications include shuttle as well as mine transport and long-haul traffic

eHighway application fields


Road-freight emissions are a challenge for port cities

• Ports serve as an economic driver for the city and the region. In the past freight volumes have grown faster than GDP.

• A key challenge in realizing the benefits of trade is to overcome the environmental impacts from transport. For many ports this environmental challenge is primarily about improving air quality.

• Much of air pollution comes from the road freight in and out of port area
