E-buses and Electric Roads in Sweden
1. Electric Roads and E-buses
in Sweden
”Bus2Go”
Heilbronn 3 December 2019
Björn Hasselgren, PhD
Senior Advisor
Swedish Transport Administration
2. Tasks of the Swedish Transport Administration
• To be responsible for the long-term planning
of the traffic system for road and rail transport, shipping and aviation
• To be responsible for the construction, operation and
maintenance of State roads and railways
• Procuring inter-regional public transportation solutions in all of Sweden
• Providing support for the shipping industry

Electric Road System, ERS
“Road supplemented with an electrical
installation intended for the transmission of
electrical energy to vehicles during travel”
Also known as
- Dynamic transfer
- In motion charging

CollERS – A partnership for innovation
Electric Road Systems (ERS)
Sweden, Germany and France agree
to work together to enhance electric
road systems technology, identify
means for cross-border operability
and campaign at European level for
the wider spread of this technology.

Governmental assignment “Electric roads”
Three parts
• The basis for electric roads to be part
of the state owned road network
• Road map
• Deployment
• Swedish-German-French

9. Electric road system (ERS) combined with
charging stations for stationary charging

Only ERS Charging stations alongside ERS Charging stations outside ERS
Illustrative scenario
• Charging stations are placed alongside the
electrified road with ERS infrastructure
• Combining ERS and charging stations can
increase redundancy in the system, reach
several different types of vehicles and use
excisting power grid
A B C
Electrified road
ERS infrastructure
Charging station for stationary charging
• The road network is electrified for heavy goods
vehicles using ERS infrastructure
• Charging stations are placed outside the
electrified road with ERS infrastructure in order
to increase the reach for electrified transport
• Charging stations can be placed near loading
docks, alongside the road, or depot charging
• Charging stations can be utilized by vehicles not
using the ERS infrastructure
10. E-buses survey 2019
• Purposes: Chart, compare and analyse
• Three Regions: Stockholm (TRF), Skåne (SK) och Västra
Götaland (VT)
• Four perspectives:
Technology
Business models, organisation and procurement
A broader social perspective
Digitisation
11. Public transport in Sweden
• A network of actors
RKM, Regional Public Transport Authorities
Bus-operators
Municipalities and private land owners
Manufacturers; buses and charging equipment
Power grid companies and electricity trading
companies
12. Technology
• Focus – city buses
• Charging strategies
• TRF: Prepares depots for stationary charging
• SK: Mixed operator/RKM responsibility
• VT: Bus operators decide charging strategy
• Power grids – will they suffice?
• None of the RKM concerned, but discusses with power grid
companies
• Batteries
• All actors concerned about social responsibility challenges
and sustainability at large
13. Incentives and targets
• Main incentives
Reduced noise
Improved air quality
Reduced GGG emissions
Energy efficiency
Attractive public transport
• Government subsidies and incentives welcome but not
decisive
• Targets
TRF: No official targets
SK: Ambitions but no set targets
VT: 30 % e-buses until 2025
14. • Previously demonstration and test-facilities/projects
• Now – existing and new agreements with operators
• Functional requirements, a few specified requirements
• Future procurement will necessitate more dialogue at
an earlier stage in the process
Procurement and agreements
15. 15
Altered cost structure
• Increased capital expenditure possibly balanced by
decreased operating expenditure (operations
+maintenance)
• Secondary market for used buses to be developed,
uncertain development
• Increased life-time of buses calls for longer
procurement periods (as do increased CAPEX)
16. E-buses and city-planning
• RKMs and the cities seem this far not to have changed
planning strategies for buses
• Insufficient coordination in relation to other electrification
processes, also in transport
-> inefficiencies and lacking electricity capacity
• Reasons why:
• Technology
• Legal
• Customs?
17. 17
Digitisation
• All operators and RKMs are implementing the ITxPT-
communication standard
• Electrification and digitisation are not a necessary
combination or mutually dependent
• But: electrification supports the introduction of
autonomous vehicle technology

Comparing with other actors

19. 19
Conclusions
1. Actors struggle to keep their traditional roles and
responsibilities
2. E-buses might lead to increased responsibilities
and role for the bus-operators
3. Widened and deepened cooperation and
coordination is necessary to underpin the
shift to e-buses – reducing uncertainty
