E-Mobility Delivers Smart Charging Infrastructure for the Future of Transport at C.G. Eriksson Transport

The transport industry is undergoing extensive electrification, and the demand for smart, efficient, and future-proof charging solutions is growing rapidly. To meet these needs, E-Mobility has implemented a comprehensive solution that enables both heavy and light transport vehicles to charge using the same energy infrastructure.

The installation at C.G. Erikssons / Jetpak in Växjö, a family-owned transport company with a large vehicle fleet, was designed to enable the electrification of both heavy and light transport operations within a unified energy system. The solution combines DC fast charging for heavy vehicles, charging infrastructure for light vehicles, energy storage, and existing solar power generation to create a cost-effective and future-proof energy infrastructure.

While heavy vehicles are loading and unloading goods in Växjö, they can simultaneously be charged via high-power DC fast charging, allowing C.G. Erikssons / Jetpak to save valuable loading, transfer, and charging time. The system also enables parallel charging of the company's light commercial vehicles through the same overall energy solution. For vehicles requiring faster energy transfer, additional fast charging is available at a separate location without the need for an additional grid connection. All power is distributed from the same power cabinet, creating a flexible and cost-effective solution.

"For us, this investment is about creating a sustainable long-term transport and energy solution. The combination of charging infrastructure, energy storage, and our existing solar power installation gives us both flexibility and control over our future energy needs. The solution enables us to continue electrifying our operations while ensuring cost-efficient energy use and saving time that we can instead devote to improving service for our customers." Peter Eriksson, CEO and Owner, C.G. Erikssons Åkeri AB

Energy Storage Reduces Costs and Strengthens the Grid
As a central part of the installation, battery energy storage systems from LexEnergy, a strategic partner in the project, have been deployed. The energy storage system helps C.G. Erikssons / Jetpak reduce peak power demand from the electricity grid, lowering both grid subscription costs and ongoing energy expenses. It provides greater control over energy consumption by storing energy when demand is low and delivering power when demand increases.

The intelligent energy solution also enables active participation in flexibility markets, where the facility can provide ancillary services to the electricity grid by both absorbing and supplying power as needed. The battery system is also used to shave peak demand from the charging infrastructure, further reducing strain on the grid.

"This project demonstrates how energy storage can create value far beyond simply storing energy. Together, we have developed a solution where the battery system functions as an active part of the energy ecosystem. Our collaboration with E-Mobility has been highly successful because we share the belief that the future of electrification requires smart, integrated energy solutions that benefit both the customer and the wider power system." Sara Strand, Sales Manager, LexEnergy

The system also includes smart billing and user management functionality, making it easy to allocate and monitor charging costs across different vehicles, users, and operational areas.

Integrated with Existing Solar Power Installation
The battery energy storage system is also integrated with the solar power installation already operating on the facility's rooftop. By storing surplus solar energy production, a larger share of the self-generated electricity can be used locally for vehicle charging and operational energy needs. This increases the facility's energy self-sufficiency, improves energy efficiency, and contributes to more sustainable energy consumption.

"We see a growing demand for solutions that not only enable the electrification of transport but also help customers optimize their energy use. Together with C.G. Erikssons / Jetpak and LexEnergy, we are demonstrating how charging infrastructure, energy storage, and solar power can work together in a future-proof integrated solution. By combining charging for both light and heavy-duty vehicles with energy storage and intelligent energy management, we create the conditions for efficient electrification without placing unnecessary strain on the electricity grid."
