Atlas Public Policy conducted an independent total cost of ownership analysis for electric trucks to help retailer shippers better understand options available to them, or to their transportation providers. The results of this analysis indicate that medium- and heavy-duty EVs are cost competitive in some use cases under current market conditions and the most important factors are the cost of charging and availability of upfront vehicle incentives.

Adoption of Electric Trucks in Freight Transportation

Adoption of Electric Trucks in Freight Transportation

Nicole Lepre2020-01-30T15:01:44-05:00

Transportation sector is the largest contributor of global greenhouse gas emissions in the USA. Disruptive technological changes in this sector, such as alternative fuel vehicles, are crucial for emission reduction. This report analyzes how a cost-minimizing strategic transition plan can be developed for a transportation ﬁrm that aims to adopt electric trucks in their fully diesel ﬂeet, over time.
