ZEFES - Stakeholder Symposium Zeebrugge 2026

On the 25th of February 2026, the ZEFES consortium brought together industry leaders and stakeholders at ECS Zeebrugge for a dedicated Symposium titled “Celebrating a Milestone in the Electrification of Intermodal Cross-Border Long-Haul Transport.” The event highlighted major advancements within the European Union–funded ZEFES project, which aims to accelerate the decarbonisation of long-distance and cross boarder freight through large-scale deployment and testing of zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles with megawatt charging. Hosted by Procter & Gamble (P&G) in collaboration with ECS, the Symposium brought together logistics operators, technology providers, vehicle OEMs, infrastructure developers, and policy stakeholders to examine Europe’s readiness for electrified heavy-duty transport. Attendees had the opportunity to observe first-hand news on the latest status of the ZEFES project and a series of technical demonstrations. The project update covered: Overview of ZEFES demonstrations across Europe Vehicle technologies, prime and second movers Digital platform supporting ZE-HDVs in daily operations Battery Electric Vehicles operating at up to 64 tonnes GCW Megawatt Charging System (MCS) infrastructure delivering charging power up to 1.2 MW Electric European Modular System (EMS) configurations supporting high-capacity freight movements A battery-electric dolly designed for range extension in electric EMS configurations, hybridization of conventional truck-duotrailer combinations, and automation-ready standalone operation on yards These demonstrations illustrated meaningful progress in addressing operational barriers to electrified long-haul transport, particularly around high-power charging, vehicle weight capability, and automated yard logistics. For the trade sector, the event offered concrete insights into how zero-emission technologies can be integrated into complex intermodal supply chains.
