The logistics sector in Belgium faces increasing pressure to reduce carbon emissions and comply with stringent environmental regulations. Traditional diesel-powered trucks contribute significantly to greenhouse gas emissions, prompting logistics companies to seek greener alternatives. However, the high upfront costs of new electric trucks and concerns about battery longevity have been substantial barriers.
A Belgian company specializing in the rapid conversion of diesel trucks to electric powertrains, offers a solution that addresses these challenges. Their innovative process enables the transformation of existing diesel trucks into electric vehicles within 48 hours, significantly reducing both time and costs associated with fleet electrification.
In this regard, Jump Energy investigates the potential of integrating a battery-as-a-service model to further alleviate the financial burden on logistics companies. This model allows operators to lease batteries, thereby avoiding the substantial capital expenditure of battery ownership and mitigating concerns related to battery performance and replacement costs.
The primary challenges addressed in this project included:
The expense of converting diesel trucks to electric powertrains can be prohibitive for many logistics companies.
Concerns about battery lifespan, maintenance, and replacement costs deter companies from adopting electric trucks.
Establishing and managing charging infrastructure adds complexity and cost to fleet electrification. Logistics companies need reliable access to charging solutions that fit their operational requirements without disrupting routes or schedules.
Extended vehicle downtime during conversion processes can disrupt logistics operations and affect service delivery.
Together with our partners, we can offer tailored solutions to fleet managers to convert these challenges into opportunities:
Proprietary technology enables the conversion of diesel trucks to electric powertrains within 48 hours, significantly minimizing operational downtime.
Jump Energy introduces a leasing model that allows logistics companies to access batteries without the upfront capital expense. This approach also shifts the responsibility for battery maintenance and replacement to Jump Energy, ensuring long-term performance.
Jump Energy provides comprehensive charging infrastructure tailored to each fleet's needs. This includes site assessment, installation of chargers, and smart charging management systems to optimize energy usage, reduce costs, and ensure vehicle availability.
The partnership offers end-to-end support, including ongoing battery monitoring, charging infrastructure maintenance, and performance optimization, ensuring seamless integration into existing logistics operations.
This case study demonstrates promising outcomes for fleet electrification in Belgium:
Logistics companies reduced their total cost of ownership through lower fuel expenses, decreased maintenance costs, and avoided significant upfront investments in both battery systems and charging infrastructure.
The rapid conversion process, combined with reliable charging solutions, ensured minimal disruption to logistics schedules, enabling high service continuity.
The adoption of converted electric trucks reduced carbon emissions and air pollution, helping companies align with Belgium’s environmental regulations and sustainability goals.
