Unlocking the Potential of Vehicle Integrated Photovoltaics (VIPV) for the European Transport Sector Vehicle Integrated Photovoltaics (VIPV) is a mature technology ready for deployment on passenger cars, vans, buses, electric trucks, and retrofit on existing diesel truck/trailers. VIPV is not a total replacement for charging infrastructure needs, but it is a powerful efficiency multiplier. It reduces the strain on the electricity grid, lowers the total cost of transport for logistics companies, and offers autonomy of use and charging to private drivers. It delivers immediate CO2 benefits and causes less energy dependence. We are projecting that in some scenarios total VIPV production can be up to 27 TWh in 2030. In addition to further cost decreases and technical integration challenges, wide deployment of VIPV
can be also helped with a regulatory framework that can unlock a technology that turns millions of vehicles from pure energy consumers into mobile renewable energy power plants.
