== Abstract ==

​

Electric Road System (ERS) is a key technology to achieve the electrification in the long haulage application due<br> to battery limitations. Before deciding on large scale investments in ERS, it is important to analyse what road<br> segments that benefit the most of such a system. A model of a hybrid powertrain configured as a long haulage<br> truck is developed with the possibility for dynamic charging. Simulations are performed to analyse a region in<br> Sweden where an ERS demonstration is built, to investigate how different ERS configurations affect the energy<br> consumption of the vehicle. It is found that the fuel consumption is decreased by 66% when the full road is<br> electrified, and the travel time decreased by 7%, compared to a conventional vehicle. Simulations also indicate<br> that it is beneficial to only electrify parts of the road and using the battery in the vehicle as energy buffer.<br> Furthermore, different data sources for road elevation and vehicle speed data have been evaluated. It is shown that<br> Google data and speed limit data can be useful for initial studies, but measured vehicle speed data and laser scanned<br> data increase the accuracy in the simulations.
