In the course of the energy transition, both the energy sector and the logistics industry are facing radical changes. Providing renewable energy is subject to natural fluctuations, which leads to continuous over- and undersupply. Besides, the insufficiency of clarity concerning the requirements of renewable energy as well as the extent of charging networks poses a tremendous problem. Especially in terms of mobility, many questions remain unaddressed. Despite the immense benefits of electrification within the industrial freight transport, companies have serious concerns about converting their fleets. The lack of transparency regarding the current status of charging infrastructure as well as its possibilities to expand, causes the inadequate acceptance of electric mobility in multimodal logistic chains. In order to profit from the far-reaching potential of the energy sector, a synergistic interaction of the “energy” and “mobility” sectors has to be conceived.
