The transport transition involves a fundamental and sustainable transformation of the entire mobility sector. The aim is to make transportation more resource-efficient, environmentally friendly and efficient. In the logistics sector, however, enormous energy requirements and the need for large storage facilities and high charging capacities are offset by various potentials for process optimization. On the one hand, the built-up areas offer opportunities to generate renewable energy, while on the other hand, the development of an infrastructure for hydrogen production and refuelling also appears to be a promising way to decarbonize. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The transport transition and the energy transition are two challenges facing Germany and Europe as a whole. Provided that the energy for mobility is to be obtained from renewable sources, these challenges are inextricably linked and can only be solved together. However, the logistics sector presents a particular hurdle. This is because the enormous energy demand and the need for large storage facilities and high charging capacities are offset by various potentials for process optimization. On the one hand, the built-up areas offer extensive opportunities for generating renewable energy using photovoltaics, while on the other, the development of an infrastructure for hydrogen production and refueling also appears promising. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    The work in the project roughly follows the outlined phase plan.<\/p>

    Once the basic principles and boundary conditions have been compiled, they will be translated into specific requirements for the tool and its four modules. Based on this, the software with its four modules will be developed and finally tested and evaluated in practice in a field test. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
