Decarbonising road freight transport - the role of zero emission trucks and intangible costs
This study investigates intangible costs associated with advanced electric and hydrogen-powered trucks, including recharging/refueling time, cargo capacity limitations, and buyer reluctance towards emerging technologies. Utilising a comprehensive whole-systems modelling approach considering low- and zero-emission fuels, inter-sectoral dynamics, and the carbon budget, we explore cost-optimal decarbonisation pathways for heavy, medium, and light trucks.聽

Abstract
The road freight sector faces significant challenges in decarbonisation, driven by high energy demand and limited availability of low-emission fuels and commercialised zero-emission vehicles.
