Abstract
This study developed a multi-day electric truck trip cost model to analyse cost-minimising carrier use of stationary charging, battery swapping and catenary electric roads in the EU TEN-T road network setting. Each of these three charging options has its own advantages for carriers, thus motivating the analysis. The multi-day truck segment accounts for almost one-fifth of all truck tonne kilometres within the EU, making it important to consider in the quest to decarbonise this sector. Nevertheless, this segment has until now been sparsely analysed in the literature on truck electrification. Based on the scenario analysis, the carrier truck trip costs in the current state (year 2024) and future state (year 2035) was analysed. The current state analysis revealed that catenary electric roads are a cost-minimising option to carriers, whereas future state analysis revealed that catenary electric roads and swapping can perform on par while being cost-advantageous vis-à-vis stationary charging. The sensitivity of these findings to battery parameters, electric road user charges, swapping fee levels and charging alliances was reported. The implications of the findings for carriers, vehicle producers and policymakers were discussed.
期刊介绍:
Research in Transportation Business & Management (RTBM) will publish research on international aspects of transport management such as business strategy, communication, sustainability, finance, human resource management, law, logistics, marketing, franchising, privatisation and commercialisation. Research in Transportation Business & Management welcomes proposals for themed volumes from scholars in management, in relation to all modes of transport. Issues should be cross-disciplinary for one mode or single-disciplinary for all modes. We are keen to receive proposals that combine and integrate theories and concepts that are taken from or can be traced to origins in different disciplines or lessons learned from different modes and approaches to the topic. By facilitating the development of interdisciplinary or intermodal concepts, theories and ideas, and by synthesizing these for the journal''s audience, we seek to contribute to both scholarly advancement of knowledge and the state of managerial practice. Potential volume themes include: -Sustainability and Transportation Management- Transport Management and the Reduction of Transport''s Carbon Footprint- Marketing Transport/Branding Transportation- Benchmarking, Performance Measurement and Best Practices in Transport Operations- Franchising, Concessions and Alternate Governance Mechanisms for Transport Organisations- Logistics and the Integration of Transportation into Freight Supply Chains- Risk Management (or Asset Management or Transportation Finance or ...): Lessons from Multiple Modes- Engaging the Stakeholder in Transportation Governance- Reliability in the Freight Sector
