Second Life of E-Truck Batteries for Sustainable Logistics
The EU's road freight sector is rapidly adopting electric trucks, with heavy-duty vehicle sales tripling. This study, a collaboration between Smart Freight Centre and Cenex Nederland, explores the significant potential of EoFL (End of First Life) batteries from electric trucks. It highlights the potential of reuse and the repurposing of e-truck batteries after their first life, focusing on market demand, benefits, and challenges of second life batteries (SLB). It also addresses regulatory considerations and offers practical recommendations for policymakers and the logistics sector to support a sustainable SLB ecosystem.
