Final results available to share widely!
After two years of research, the Go Electric project (in Dutch: Gas op Elektrisch) has come to an end. More than 40 organisations, 9 researchers and 50 students contributed to the project. Together we developed practical knowledge about logistics concepts, charging strategies and behavioural interventions with the aim of accelerating the transition to zero-emission logistics for service companies. We wish you and your network inspiration!

We presented the results on 17th March 2021 during a livestreamed event, which is now available with English subtitles. In it, Go Electric researchers hear experiences and perspectives from a wide range of project partners from government, industry associations and business, as well as from students. The video (1.5 hours) is suitable for anyone interested in the transition to zero-emission service logistics, and can also be used for educational purposes. >> Watch with ENG subtitles | >> Bekijk zonder ondertiteling

Final report available in ENG and NL
|
|
|
|
In the final report, the ‘Go Electric’ research team makes the case that one-for-one replacement of diesel delivery vehicles with electric ones is not the right approach. The transition to zero-emission service logistics involves strategic, tactical and operational choices in four aspects of business operations. With this broad approach, improvements in service logistics are possible; with less travel time for service engineers, fewer lost hours and fewer vans.

|
The extent to which zero-emission service logistics can be achieved depends on decisions about:
- Customers and Activities
- Personnel and Behaviour
- Logistics and Planning
- Vehicle Fleets and Charging Infrastructure

Follow-up: Learning Community
|
|
|
To build further on the learnings and network from the Go Electric project, we started a Learning Community in February 2021. Dutch professionals, researchers and students can attend the online Vraag & Inspireer-hour which is organised every two weeks on Tuesday from 14:00 - 15:00 CEST. More information and dates: see our website.
If you would like to discuss opportunities for European collaboration, please contact Susanne Balm at gasopelektrisch@hva.nl.
