The eCargo project lays the groundwork for a public charging network for electric trucks and larger vans in the Helsinki metropolitan area. Thereby it positively impacts, particularly in the long term, emissions reduction, energy savings, and other climate goals of the region. It also boosts the business operations of companies in the sector. Transportation is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions in Finland. Heavy traffic accounts for a significant portion of transportation emissions, and thus, electrifying heavy traffic has significant potential to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. The Helsinki metropolitan area is Finland's most important unified economic area and concentration of freight traffic. With cross-region traffic, emissions from heavy traffic pose a common challenge for the whole area. The share of transportation emissions in the Helsinki metropolitan area's greenhouse gas emissions is approximately 27%. Heavy trucks and vans together account for 33% of these emissions. Transportation is a very significant source of carbon dioxide emissions in the climate efforts of all European cities. Therefore, the solutions and operating models developed in the Helsinki metropolitan area are in high demand both nationally and internationally. Because the electrification of heavy trucks has been very slow, according to calculations, the share of emissions from truck traffic will keep increasing. Indeed, reducing emissions from truck traffic is crucial for achieving urban carbon neutrality goals. Faster electrification of heavy vehicles requires logistics companies to have sufficient public charging infrastructure. "Public charging" is the established term for a charging point for electric vehicles that anyone can use by registering as a user of the service. However, it does not usually mean a service provided by the public sector; in practice, a private company always operates the charging point. Small and medium-sized logistics companies often do not have the opportunity to invest in their own charging points. However, there is a clear shortage of publicly available charging infrastructure serving vehicles larger than passenger cars in cities. There is currently no public charging point for heavy electric vehicles in the entire Helsinki metropolitan area. As of now, there is only one such point in Finland, located in Tampere. The purpose of the eCargo project is to promote carbon neutrality and energy efficiency in Helsinki metropolitan area logistics by laying the groundwork for a market-driven electric charging network suitable for heavy equipment in the area. The target groups of the project include logistics service providers throughout the region's value chain and municipalities in the Helsinki metropolitan area. Supporting the electrification of heavy vehicle fleets will provide competitive advantages for SMEs in the sector and significant cost savings in the longer term. The eCargo project initiates the establishment of a public charging network for heavy traffic in the metropolitan area, which will have significant long-term effects on transportation emissions. The project develops the concept of charging solutions for large vans and trucks (without trailers) and the operational model for public charging infrastructure in the area. The project supports the goals of several strategies such as the Priority 2.1 of the ERDF Programme and the Uusimaa Regional Programme. It is also in line with Uusimaa's Smart Specialization Strategy on Climate Neutrality. The project aligns with national level climate and energy strategies and the priorities of the EU Baltic Sea Strategy (Policy Area Transport: Action 2). It takes into consideration gender equality perspectives and strongly supports sustainable development principles. The project is implemented as a joint initiative by Forum Virium Helsinki, the City of Espoo, and Metropolia University of Applied Sciences.
