V2Logistics – Vehicle-to-Grid for Freight Transport: Business Model pre-study

Purpose and goal

The project aims to develop, analyze and validate business models for smart charging and V2G in freight transport. The goal is to demonstrate how depot-based truck fleets can become flexible energy resources that reduce operating costs, generate new revenues and strengthen the stability of the electricity grid. The project will also provide a knowledge base and a clear roadmap for future system demonstrations.

Expected effects and result

The project is expected to deliver validated business models for smart charging and V2G in freight transport, as well as analyses of value chains, incentives and flexibility opportunities. The results will provide increased knowledge on how logistics fleets can contribute to grid stability, reduce energy costs and create new revenue. The impact will be stronger electrification, better collaboration between the energy and logistics sectors and a basis for future system demonstrations.

Planned approach and implementation

The project is structured in four work packages: WP1: Review of electricity price models and flexibility mechanisms. WP2: Mapping of stakeholders and value chains, including interviews and scenarios for new collaboration models. WP3: Development and validation of business models using system dynamics simulation (Vensim), tested through scenario-based analyses. WP4: Roadmap for implementation, with steps, partnerships and conditions for future pilot projects.
