1. 1. Energy in the Transportation System - A comparison of charging infrastructure scenarios

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Industriell elektroteknik och automation

   Author : Judith Lai Jakobsson; [2023]
   Keywords : Charging infrastructure; road transport electrification; battery capacity need; electric vehicles; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : A functioning charging infrastructure is crucial for achieving full-scale national electrification within the transport sector. The system is likely to consist of different charging technologies, all with the main objective of providing efficient energy replenishment services. READ MORE

3. 2. Identification and evaluation of solutions for long-haul electric road freight.

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Logistik- och kvalitetsutveckling

   Author : Amanda Lundström; Gustav Lindén; [2023]
   Keywords : Electric road freight; long-haul; TCO; Tripple bottom line;

   Abstract : Road freight transportation is important for the development of the global economy and, at the same time, one of the most destructive businesses when it comes to the environment and human health. As societies evolve, the need for freight transportation increases and the transport demand cannot in a sustainable way be fulfilled with the use of diesel trucks as it is done today. READ MORE

4. 3. Designing an Electric Road System

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Industriell elektroteknik och automation

   Author : David Pålsson; Samuel Henley; [2023]
   Keywords : ERS; Electric Road System; Power Demand; Energy Storage; Peak Shaving; Emergency Backup; Elväg E20; Hallsberg; Örebro; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Electric road systems (ERS) provide electric power to vehicles en route (dynamic charging) and can reduce the need for onboard battery capacity. This thesis sets out to examine the power demand of an ERS and the integration of energy storage in its power supply for grid load alleviation and backup power. 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. Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction in the Heavy-Duty Transport Sector - A Case Study of Renewable Energy Carriers in Sweden

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

   Author : Karolina André; William Degerstedt; [2021]
   Keywords : Battery electric vehicle; Biofuels; Greenhouse gas; Heavy-duty vehicles; LCA; Renewable energy carriers; Renewable fuels; TCO; Transport sector; Well-to-wheel; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Den svenska transportsektorn står för ungefär en tredjedel av landets totala utsläpp av växthusgaser och släppte 2019 ut 16,4 Mt CO2-ekvivalenter. Av dessa står den tunga vägtrafiken för cirka 20 % och är efter passagerarfordonen den största källan till utsläpp av växthusgaser inom sektorn. READ MORE
