Transforming ports globally: Elonroad's solution cuts emissions and reduces costs
Crucial to international trade, ports have historically been significant contributors to carbon emissions due to their reliance on fossil-fuel-powered equipment. Elonroad recognizes this and works with the industry to create more efficient operations with our automatic charge stations and dynamic charging solutions.
New legislation for ports and willingness to go electric
As the industry faces increasing pressure from legislative mandates and a collective drive towards decarbonization, the transition to electrification emerges as a critical but complex task. A few examples of organizations driving change are below.
Port of Melbourne targets net zero emissions for Scope 1 & 2 by 2030, ITS in California targets 100% electrification of all container handling equipment by 2030 following Long Beach’s Clean Air Action Plan (CAAP), and APM Terminals and DP World have created The Zero Emission Port Alliance (ZEPA) - an industry-wide strategic coalition accelerate zero emissions for container handling equipment at ports.
Key challenges include:
Ensuring high uptime
Optimizing space utilization
Addressing grid capacity constraints
Elonroad's innovative technology is uniquely positioned to overcome these obstacles:
Continuous operations maximize uptime by enabling vehicles to charge, whether in motion, loading, or stationary. This minimizes downtime and dependency on buffer vehicles.
Space-efficient ground-based charging: seamless charging eliminates land development costs and significantly reduces the need for large charge parks.
Cost efficiencies: optimized energy usage means reduced overall power needs. The ability to reduce battery size reduces vehicle cost., making electrification affordable and accessible for businesses.
Founded in Sweden in 2014, Elonroad has rapidly ascended as a forerunner in the global energy transition. With 12 global projects, 10 patents, and a dedicated team of 30 professionals, our mission is clear: to facilitate the adoption of electric mobility through versatile, high-power, high-efficiency charging solutions suitable for any electric vehicle. Our technology encompasses both stationary and dynamic charging capabilities.

Charging solutions for ports reducing carbon emissions and TCO
Adopting Elonroad's technology in ports offers substantial benefits. We enhance operational efficiency by tackling electrification's primary challenges and significantly diminishing carbon emissions. A case study at a European container terminal revealed a 40% reduction in total cost of ownership (TCO) compared to traditional charging methods (customer project case, McKinsey & Co analysis). This reduction is primarily attributed to vehicle optimization, including using smaller batteries and fewer buffer vehicles, which results in marked savings in capital and operational expenditures.
Furthermore, this exact implementation showcased a remarkable 41% reduction in CO2 emissions, illustrating the immense potential of Elonroad's technology to aid in decarbonizing port operations. These emissions reductions were facilitated by a more optimized power grid capacity, yielding savings on initial investments and lower annual power tariffs.
Elonroad's vision is bold and attainable. Through innovative projects such as one of our partners, a leading OEM port manufacturer (more to be disclosed soon), we demonstrate our charging technology's scalability, efficiency, and environmental benefits.
"We are committed to leading the charge towards zero-emission ports and offer solutions that perfectly balance economic and environmental benefits."
As we continue to innovate and expand our reach, we invite port operators, vehicle manufacturers, and industry stakeholders to join us on this electrification journey. Elonroad is eager to discuss how our revolutionary charging solution can enhance your operations, significantly reduce emissions and total cost of ownership, and drive us all toward a more sustainable, efficient, and electrified maritime future.
