“…In the UK, a report by the government in 2019 highlighted the impact that electrification would have on vehicle payload [17], which would require an increase in the vehicle fleet size and/or utilisation and lead to higher utilisation of the road network, etc. Heinz et al [18] performed a study to find the best-performing powertrain option for heavy-duty trucks in Austria. They found that for higher tonnes per kilometre (tkm) requirements, HGVs with Diesel/CNG Hybrid were best-performing but not the Battery Electric Vehicles due to the limited range and increased gross vehicle weight.…”

Achieving net zero by 2050 requires the decarbonisation of road transport. Electrification is recognised as a market-ready solution for certain transport segments, but it still poses a considerable challenge when applied to road freight. Any consensus on the technology choice for road freight electrification has still not been established. Embedding stakeholder input in the approach to address the technology adoption challenge has proven useful in uncovering various perspectives, which can provide useful insights into managing such transitions. This review paper hence took a three-step approach where the findings from the initial step of the literature search were taken up for the second step of stakeholder validation and feedback. The third step involved an analysis of the input gathered and the subsequent literature review to arrive at the conclusions. The outcome from the stakeholder engagement suggests that any specific technology can only support the transition to electrified road freight if enabled by system changes around policy, infrastructure, user behaviour, and the societal setup A follow-up literature review validated the need for a sociotechnical approach to such transitions where system changes are involved. The review also found gaps in the literature when it comes to embedding such sociotechnical approaches to technology adoption for road freight transport.
