Accurate energy consumption prediction is crucial for optimizing the operation of electric commercial heavy-duty vehicles, particularly for efficient route planning, refining charging strategies, and ensuring optimal truck configuration for specific tasks. This thesis project will explore, develop, and evaluate machine learning-based methods to forecast energy consumption of commercial heavy-duty vehicles, focusing on transformer-based approaches and self-supervised learning for time series embedding representation generation.
