1. 1. Space Utilization in Road Transportation: A Case Study of Truck Deliveries

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Graduate School

   Author : Marija Nikolova; Sirious Nterai; [2023-07-03]
   Keywords : Distribution; Emissions; Packaging; Truck deliveries; Space Utilization; Space Optimization;

   Abstract : Aim: To understand why big logistics companies do not focus their resources on improving space utilization and decreasing the phenomenon of empty running. Moreover, this study aims to present the potential economic and environmental benefits of reduced excess air in packaging and its effect on truck deliveries. READ MORE

3. 2. Dynamic axel load estimation for an electrified vehicle : Normalkraftestimering på drivaxeln

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för systemteknik

   Author : Majd Barakat; [2023]
   Keywords : Vehicle dynamics; Suspension systems; Vehicle design; Bounce-Pitch model; Car quarter model; Normal force; Normal force estimation;

   Abstract : The brake system is critical for ensuring safe driving and has been the focus of development for many years. Pneumatic braking technology is commonly used in heavy vehicles,but it results in energy wastage and high service costs. Some countries mandate auxiliarybraking systems to assist in stopping the vehicle in addition to service brakes. READ MORE

4. 3. Redesign of Adapted Crossmember

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

   Author : Gustaf Rudbeck; Philip Linder-Aronson; [2023]
   Keywords : Truck Crossmember; Power take off system; Frame; Lastbil; Tvärbalk; PTO; Ram;

   Abstract : This thesis aims to address the incompatibility issues between Scania's 600 mm silencers and the second position 2 o'clock PTO adapted crossmember, by exploring redesign possibilities. The goal is to enable the co-mounting of these components, expanding customization options and enhancing Scania's modularization capabilities. READ MORE

5. 4. 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.

6. 5. Coincidence Factor and Battery Energy Storage Systems for Industrial Electrical Power Supply : A Field Study of Building 178 at Scania AB, Södertälje

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

   Author : Lucas Wallhager; [2023]
   Keywords : Coincidence factor; Industrial electric load diversity; Velander; Normal distribution; Herman-Beta; Battery energy storage system; Sammanlagringsfaktor; Industriell elförbrukning; Velander; Herman-Beta; Batterier för energilagring;

   Abstract : Coincidence factors have been researched since the late 1800s, as they displays the ratio between the maximum coincidencental power usage of a system, and the sum of the maximum individual loads of the system. Accurate estimations of the highest coincidental power usage allow for minimal material usage when constructing substations, transformers, overhead lines, and cables for power transmission. READ MORE
