Overview

Framework supports location, sizing, and phased deployment of electric freight charging in Colombia, guiding policymakers.

Key Points

  • The aim is to provide a framework for locating and sizing electric freight charging infrastructure in Colombia to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
  • Uses real-world freight traffic data for analysis
  • Integrates network structure analysis and capacity system modelling based on queuing theory
  • Identifies priority regions and corridors based on freight flow intensity
  • High-capacity charging stations can serve over 50% of national light and medium-duty freight activity
  • Strategically located stations significantly reduce land use and system-wide infrastructure costs
  • Phased rollout reduces fiscal risk and eases pressure on the electricity grid
