Responsible for almost 7.5% of greenhouse gas emissions(1) in France, road transport of goods and people is a major lever in decarbonisation strategies. Faced with the urgency of climate change, the EDF Group is working with players in the sector to meet European targets: a gradual reduction in CO2 emissions from heavy goods vehicles of 45% by 2030, rising to 90% by 2040(2).

Heavy mobility: solutions for the energy transition

Committed to decarbonisation, the EDF Group is helping road haulage and passenger transport, which are major emitters of CO2, to make the transition to low-carbon electricity. In line with the expectations of the transport sector and public policies, the EDF Group acts as a technical partner and supplier of low-carbon energy solutions, particularly for vehicles over 3.5 tonnes. To achieve this, it draws on the expertise of its subsidiaries to cover the entire life cycle of its customers' projects.

  • Well-sized infrastructures

Charging solutions

Adapting recharging infrastructures to the realities on the ground

The electrical transition of heavy transport requires solutions adapted to each use. The EDF Group is supporting the development of infrastructure, from depots to major logistics routes:

  • On-site charging: for vehicles parked at the depot, IZIVIA, an EDF subsidiary, implements slow or moderate recharging solutions, designed according to downtime and site constraints.
  • Itinerant charging: on major routes or logistics zones, IZIVIA, an EDF subsidiary, deploys ultra-fast 400 kW charging stations, with shared hubs, to guarantee availability during regulatory breaks.

Help and advice

Technical and financial solutions to support the electricity transition

Switching to heavy electric mobility requires strategic choices and targeted investment. To overcome the obstacles of cost and operational complexity, the EDF Group offers a scalable approach, adapted to today's needs and tomorrow's uses.

Available subsidies, such as the CEE scheme or the Advenir(3) programme, reduce the initial investment. Coupled with energy management tools, they make it possible to control expenditure and guarantee a competitive cost of ownership right from the outset.

Going further in the energy transition

The EDF Group is continuing its research and development work to keep pace with changes in usage, and is also integrating hydrogen technologies, particularly for intensive or long-distance use.
