  1. 1. 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

  3. 2. 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.

  4. 3. Development of an electric driveline model for multiscale road-cargo simulations

    University essay from KTH/Väg- och spårfordon samt konceptuell fordonsdesign

    Author : Runzhe Wu; [2022]
    Keywords : System Engineering; AnyLogic Traffic Simulation; Simulink Simulation; Driveline Model Building; C Program Execution; Systemteknik; AnyLogic Trafiksimulering; Simulink Simulering; Drivelinemodell; C Programexekvering;

    Abstract : Currently, the road cargo system with low or zero CO2 emission is under rapid development. Heavy-duty trucks with electrified driveline systems will be the workhorse of future freight. READ MORE

  5. 4. Predictive Energy Management of Long-Haul Hybrid Trucks : Using Quadratic Programming and Branch-and-Bound

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Fordonssystem

    Author : Erik Jonsson Holm; [2021]
    Keywords : Predictive energy management; quadratic programming; branch-and-bound; mixed-integer quadratic programming; energy optimization; look-ahead control; model predictive control; receding horizon control; optimal control; convex optimization; heavy-duty vehicle; long-haul truck; hybrid electric vehicle;

    Abstract : This thesis presents a predictive energy management controller for long-haul hybrid trucks. In a receding horizon control framework, the vehicle speed reference, battery energy reference, and engine on/off decision are optimized over a prediction horizon. READ MORE

  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
