About Challenge

Vehicular electrification will be a key needle mover for the decarbonisation of the land transport sector. LTA is looking to support the adoption of electric vehicles across all vehicle segments.

In particular, the charging needs of electric heavy goods vehicles (e-HGVs) can be different due to the large batteries needed to support their operational conditions, where traditional plug-in charging methods may not sufficiently meet their needs, especially if they are high mileage vehicles or vehicles that operate 24/7. Hence, LTA is inviting applicants looking to trial e-HGV battery charging and swapping (BCSS) system solutions in a sandbox environment to submit their proposals.

The sandbox will be set up, operated and maintained by the applicant(s), with LTA providing the appropriate regulatory support to allow applicant(s) to operate the sandbox.

What We Are Looking For

LTA invites all interested applicants with innovative solutions that meet the following criteria:

  1. Proposed solution is not an existing EV charging system covered under TR25;
  2. Includes appropriate safeguards to ensure the overall safety and effectiveness of the solution during the period of the sandbox; and
  3. Fulfils the objectives, principles and eligibility criteria of the Sandbox for Electric Heavy Goods Vehicle Battery Charging and Swapping System Solutions.
