1. 1. Exploring Environmentally Sustainable Last-Mile Deliveries in Sweden

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk logistik

   Author : Emelie Ehrensvärd; Clara Wilhelmsson; [2023]
   Keywords : Last-mile delivery; E-retailer; Sustainable last-mile delivery; Environmentally sustainable last-mile delivery; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Last-mile delivery is the part of the e-commerce supply chain that is the least efficient in terms of cost, time, and environmental impact. As e-commerce is expected to keep growing, this puts pressure on last-mile deliveries to reduce their environmental impact if Sweden is to reach its environmental goals for 2045. READ MORE

3. 2. An Optimization Model for Electric Vehicle Routing with Tractor Swapping

   University essay from KTH/Matematik (Avd.)

   Author : Alexander Strid; Daniel Liu; [2022]
   Keywords : Vehicle Routing Problem VRP ; tractor swapping; electric VRP; rich VRP; heavy goods vehicles; mixed-integer linear programming MILP ; applied mathematics; ruttoptimering; traktorbyte; elektriska lastbilar; tunga lastbilar; linjär heltalsoptimering; tillämpad matematik;

   Abstract : The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how tractor swapping can be implemented in Vehicle Routing Problems (VRP) with electric heavy goods vehicles, and to evaluate how a model that allows for tractor swapping performs, in terms of schedule cost, against a model that does not. Hence, this thesis introduces a new rich VRP variant which includes tractor swapping, as well as time windows, pickup and delivery, and electric vehicles. READ MORE
