Regional Electrification Pilots for Heavy Transport (Swedish: Regionala elektrifieringspiloter för tunga transporter) is an investment grant run by Energimyndigheten, the Swedish Energy Agency. The money pays for new charging infrastructure for heavy road freight, and the support is given under European Union state-aid rules, so how much a project can get depends on the size of the company that applies.

The agency has put up to 400 million SEK on the table for this call, shared across the projects it selects. There is no fixed amount per project; instead, the grant covers a share of a project's eligible costs. The share is 20 percent for large companies, 40 percent for medium-sized companies and 50 percent for small companies, with an extra 5 percent for projects in more sparsely populated parts of the country. The applicant pays the rest. Charging stations must be finished by 30 September 2028 and then kept running for at least five years.

The scheme is aimed at companies (large, medium and small) that want to build charging stations. The site where the station is built must serve an important role for heavy truck transport, such as reloading or storing goods, switching goods between transport modes (for example ports and combined terminals), large-scale goods reception, or recycling and waste collection. The station must be open to any haulier that has an errand at the site.

Applications are made through Energimyndigheten's online portal ("Ansök om stöd" / "Mina sidor"). The most recent call closed for applications on 27 August 2025 at 23:59. The agency publishes the full call text and the terms as separate PDF documents that set out exactly what each project must include and how applications are assessed.

A few practical points: the headline figure of 400 million SEK is the total pot for all projects, not a per-project cap, so a single applicant cannot expect the full amount. The funding rate is tied to company size, so a large company recovers a smaller share of its costs than a small company. The charging stations must stay open to all operators and remain in service for at least five years, which is a binding condition of the grant, not just a goal.
