E-CORE: Electrified Corridor Europe

The E-CORE project is concerned with the cross-border introduction of electric road systems (ERS) for road freight transport in Europe. For the first time, a comprehensive scientific feasibility study is to be carried out on the construction of an ERS corridor from Budapest in Hungary via Austria and Germany to Rotterdam in the Netherlands along one of the busiest trunk road links. Based on this specific case study, real infrastructure data of the TEN-T core network and current freight transport flows, a toolbox for planning European ERS corridors including potential diversion routes will be developed. As part of the project

  • Identify relevant stakeholders,
  • define the exact corridor route,
  • network the stakeholders,
  • analyse the political and economic framework conditions
  • analyse planning and billing in more detail and
  • the cross-border, joint operation of an ERS corridor will be researched.

A particular focus will be placed on the European regulatory and standardisation landscape. Last but not least, the relevance and effectiveness of bidirectional charging in ERS for HGVs will also be analysed in detail.

The e-CORE project was successfully launched on 20 October 2023 with a kick-off meeting in Berlin attended by representatives of all the groups involved.
