The group aims to develop procurement documentation through pilot tests and reviews. It seeks to understand the limitations and considerations of battery technology, which is crucial for maximising the longevity of Heavy-Duty Electric Vehicles (HDEVs), and to focus on market engagement with national and international suppliers.
