What is BSI Flex 2071 v1.0 about?
BSI Flex 2071 v1.0 is part of our Zero Emission HGVs and Infrastructure Standards Programme, which supports the decarbonization of road freight industry and related infrastructure. The standard, sponsored by Connected Places Catapult (CPC) and funded by the Department for Transport will support the roll-out and expansion of a UK-wide network of high-power charging sites for battery electric heavy goods vehicles (eHGVs).
What does BSI Flex 2071 v1.0 cover?
BSI Flex 2071 v1.0 offers recommendations on how to plan and design charging sites for eHGVs, including safety considerations and optimal layouts to enhance interoperability and accessibility.
It covers:
-
Harmonized vocabulary and units of measurement.
-
Taxonomy of charging site layouts.
-
Safety and design implications of vehicles with power take-offs.
-
Considerations on the coexistence of various fuel types in the same site.
Why should you use BSI Flex 2071 v1.0?
The number of eHGVs on the road is expected to grow exponentially as the UK progresses towards meeting its targets for reducing greenhouse emissions from domestic transport. Such growth depends on an accessible and safe charging infrastructure network.
Applying recommendations from BSI Flex 2071 v1.0 helps designers and operators create this environment and establish efficient planning and implementation processes.
Who is BSI Flex 2071 v1.0 for?
This BSI Flex is of use to the designers and operators of charging sites. It might be of interest to logistics providers, electrical grid suppliers, consumer groups and any other parties concerned with charging sites or eHGVs.
The standard is applicable to publicly accessible single and multi-fuel sites in the UK.
