NextETRUCK launches Green Mobility Exchange side event in Amsterdam

NextETRUCK invites you to attend its free side session at the Green Mobility Exchange, taking place on 12 May 2026 (11-14:00) at Tolhuistuin in Amsterdam North.

Through the inaugural edition of the Green Mobility Exchange, project partner CENEX NL seeks to broaden the scope of its traditional annual spring gathering by engaging a wider network of stakeholders from industry, OEMs, municipalities and regional authorities. The initiative offers participants the opportunity to explore CENEX NL’s latest findings and practical insights in transport, energy systems and the circular economy.

What can you expect from the NextETRUCK side event?

The programme will open with a concise introduction to the NextETRUCK initiative, followed by contributions that closely reflect the central themes of the main event. Among these will be presentations on the implementation and validation of megawatt charging technologies developed within the project framework.

CENEX NL will also showcase its ‘KITE Tool’, designed to assist fleet operators in evaluating the transition to electric vehicles. By assessing total cost of ownership alongside life-cycle impacts, the tool provides a robust analytical basis for investment planning and long-term strategy.

In addition, representatives from the AEVETO cluster will deliver brief pitches outlining their respective activities. These contributions will offer a clear and structured overview of complementary research approaches addressing the decarbonisation of road freight and heavy-duty transport.

What does the programme entail?

The NextETRUCK initiative is closely aligned with the overarching focus areas of the Green Mobility Exchange, namely circular charging solutions, high-capacity charging infrastructure and the reduction of emissions from non-road mobile machinery. While this latter category is not a central pillar of the project, it remains a critical consideration for urban authorities developing comprehensive climate strategies. Such machinery includes equipment used in construction and agriculture, as well as tools for landscaping and other handheld applications.

To further explore this subject, a dedicated stakeholder meeting for city representatives will be held on 13 May 2026 at the Amsterdam World Trade Centre. This gathering will outline Amsterdam’s strategy for reducing emissions within its municipal fleet and present supporting analyses carried out by CENEX and FIER, which have informed the development of a tailored roadmap aligned with the city’s broader climate neutrality ambitions.
