Keynote: Directions given by the global situation, their impact on the transportation industry, and the implementation of climate policy

Panel 1: What AFIR could change in international business and government policy?

The European Commission has presented a solid proposal on the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR) ensuring there is sufficient public charging infrastructure to follow the deployment of zero-emission cars.

What is the cost of implementing these technologies in the charging infrastructure? How should we act globally? What is the intention of France which took over the presidency of the European Council with the goal to present a ready directive by June 2022?

Keynote: Characteristics and required charging infrastructure for Heavy Duty Charging in Europe (Status Quo "HoLa project")

Panel 2: Is Europe ready for e-trucks?

The Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR) dictates directions for the development of recharging infrastructure for electric and hydrogen long-haul transport. Manufacturers, when creating new battery trucks, need new charging technologies such as the Megawatt Charging System (MCS).

Is the entire Europe ready for the next big step? Is there any difference between preparing the ecosystem for the e-truck in Western Europe and the rest of the CEE region? Let´s shed a light on opportunities and challenges.

Keynote: Challenges of the energy sector and their impact on the development of fast charging networks

Panel 3: A holistic Approach to Charging Hubs

Electromobility helps achieve climate goals since it reduces the consumption of fossil fuels. The energy sector is changing towards greener energy and the use of RES.

Is the extension of the charging infrastructure the solution for the massive rollout of zero-emission vehicles? Which role ultra-fast DC charging hubs could play to solve existing challenges and to improve the charging experience for the EV drivers?
