  1. 1. When is Electric Freight Cost Competitive? : Computational modeling and simulation of total cost of ownership for electric truck fleets

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för ekonomisk och industriell utveckling

    Author : Anton Zackrisson; [2023]
    Keywords : electric freight; battery-electric trucks; total cost of ownership; decision making under deep uncertainty DMDU ; cost-competitiveness; exploratory modeling and analysis EMA ; EMA workbench; quasi-Monte Carlo method; VRP; EVRP; elektrifiering; godstransport; elektriska lastbilar; total ägandekostnad; kostnadskonkurrenskraft; ruttoptimering;

    Abstract : Battery electric trucks (BETs) offer environmental benefits in terms of reduced carbon emissions and enhanced energy efficiency but have been challenged with economic viability compared to conventional internal combustion engine trucks (ICETs) caused by substantial acquisition costs, limited charging infrastructure, and concerns regarding range and payload capacity.  Previous studies focus on TCO at the vehicle or policy level but overlook the system and firm-level impacts.

  3. 2. Improved Energy Efficiency of Passenger Ships in the Stockholm Region

    University essay from KTH/Energiteknik

    Author : Josefine Ström; [2022]
    Keywords : Public transport on sea; energy efficiency; ships; energy efficiency measures; Kollektivtrafik till sjöss; energieffektivisering; fartyg; energieffektiviseringsåtgärder;

    Abstract : Liksom många andra transportslag står kollektivtrafiken till sjöss inför utmaningar när det gäller ökade bränslepriser och strängare energi- och utsläppsmål. Trafikförvaltningen, den organisation som ansvarar för kollektivtrafiken i Stockholm, har flera mål för reduktion av utsläpp och energiförbrukning, både generellt för hela kollektivtrafiken samt mer specifikt för sjötrafiken.

  4. 3. 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

  5. 4. Cooperative Platforms for Improved Environmental Sustainability in Logistics
