During Elmia Lastbil Pontus Frohde, CEO at Vialumina, had the honor to present on stage on the topic of how to get the most out of the battery capacity within your commercial fleet. Did you miss out? No worries, here’s the main points from the session as a list.

---

What’s the future for battery capacity in commercial vehicles?

Increased efficiency: By connecting drivers, vehicles, chargers, and the power grid, we create the conditions for maximum utilization, resource optimization, reduced costs, and lower emissions.

New revenue streams: Capitalize on your vehicle batteries, V2X/V2G.

Positive societal contribution: Vehicle fleets will take on a new role in society – from being among the worst offenders to becoming a sustainable enabler for resource optimization.

And what is needed to get there?

System support: Everything connected – everything communicates with each other, no siloed systems.

Legislation and policy: Regulations are needed for new innovation – as well as in terms of labor law.

Business and payment models: Who will profit from the batteries? How will the stakeholders collaborate?

Behavioral change and skill development: New behavioral patterns are necessary – how do you take care of a car versus how do you take care of a battery?
