PV Integration for Sustainability and Resilience of Transport Sector
Day: Wednesday, 16 September 2026
Time: 15:15 PM – 16:45 PM
Venue: World Trade Center (WTC), Rotterdam, The Netherlands
Access: Open to all registered conference participants
Recent price increase of fossil fuels is putting pressure on the acceleration of PV generated electrification of the transport sector to reduce the dependence on fossil fuels. PVCS is a realistic option of charging electric vehicles using PV electricity, especially in combination with battery storage. Additionally, VIPV applications are developing from PV integration into passenger vehicles towards integration into heavy duty vehicles (HDV) such as trucks, trailers and buses. Also, in combination with non-electrified vehicles, e.g. ICE vehicles, VIPV is a realistic environmental and economical option for reducing fossil fuel consumption. Besides, VIPV and PVCS can be used as a source of power supply under emergency conditions.
By recognizing these values, PV integration into the transport sector is expected to gain a strong foothold in the European market, supporting the transition towards green transport and subsequently expanding globally.
In this session, approaches for accelerating the market penetration of VIPV and PVCS will be discussed.
