    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.
