LTA to begin trials for battery charging and swapping systems for e-HGVs

The trials will run for four years.

The Land Transport Authority (LTA) will commence trials for a new battery charging and swapping system (BCSS) and mobile charging systems (MCS) designed for electric heavy goods vehicles (e-HGVs).

The trials, which will run for four years, will gradually start in the second half of 2024.

PSA Corporation and a consortium comprising Strides Frontiers Pte Ltd and Ecoswift Pte Ltd will be involved in the BCSS trials.

PSA Corporation will deploy a BCSS station within its Pasir Panjang port terminal to support six terminal electric prime movers and two on-road electric Inter Gateway Hauliers.

Meanwhile, the Strides Frontiers-led consortium will partner with local logistics firms to provide e-HGV battery swapping services for up to 10 vehicles.

LTA will set up a BCSS station at Tuas, where the consortium will implement asset and route optimisation plans for the participating fleet of e-HGVs.

Participating in the MCS trials are Power-Up Tech and Beecharge Innovation Group.

“Power-Up Tech will provide up to 10 sets of mobile charging equipment with one charger each to support the charging of electric vehicles, including vans, trucks, and buses. Beecharge Innovation Group will deploy up to eight sets of mobile charging equipment to support shared EV providers and commercial fleet operators,” the LTA said.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
