Rethinking Transportation: Accelerating the Electrification of Commercial Vehicles
12 Sep (Fri) Day 2 : 11:20 – 12:05
Hong Kong is at the forefront of sustainable mobility transformation, with nearly 70% of newly registered private cars now electric. This remarkable progress demonstrates that Hong Kong is well-positioned to extend its success to the electrification of commercial vehicles—vans, trucks, taxis, and buses— which are pivotal to achieving Hong Kong’s net-zero 2050 goals. With growing momentum in the electric commercial vehicles sector, Hong Kong is expected to unveil a roadmap for commercial vehicle in 2025, providing direction and support for the transition to low carbon transport.
Through the insights of our expert panelists, this session will also feature real-world success stories from fleet operators who have already begun their electrification journey—offering practical insights into implementation, cost savings, and decarbonisation efforts.
Gain insights into the key enablers and challenges in shaping the future of commercial EV adoption.
It also explores cutting-edge technologies from fast charging solutions, battery swapping technologies, innovative data platforms that provide real-time EV usage analytics, enabling smarter grid integration, and charging infrastructure planning
With key stakeholders — fleet operators, infrastructure providers, utilities and policymakers—working together, Hong Kong is poised to build a reliable, efficient, and green transport ecosystem.
Learnings:
- Actionable strategies for accelerating commercial EV adoption and fleet electrification
- The evolving role of utilities in grid orchestration to meet growing EV charging demand
- Discover how big data transforms EV grid management with real-time insights, smart charging and optimised infrastructure
- Breakthroughs in charging technologies, including fast charging and battery swapping in Hong Kong
- Cross-sector collaboration as a catalyst for overcoming challenges and scaling solutions
Post-Event Actions:
- Foster multi-stakeholder collaboration among utilities, fleet operators, infrastructure developers, and industry leaders to co-create supportive frameworks, resources, and scalable solutions that accelerate commercial EV adoption
- Leverage EV usage analytics and grid performance data to drive data-informed planning, optimize infrastructure deployment, and shape effective, forward-looking strategies for electrification
- Showcase and share success stories from early adopters to inspire confidence, demonstrate feasibility, and encourage broader industry participation in commercial EV transition.
