“…It is noteworthy that Alessandrini et al [32] considered the use of an unmanned light commercial vehicle powered by electricity. Foltyński [26] suggested the use of bicycles, tricycles, and motorcycles together with light commercial vehicles (all electric), as alternatives for last mile delivery.…”

Abstract:The advent of new technologies in last mile deliveries is about to cause a disruption in the traditional business model applied in urban cargo transportation, thus presenting innumerous research opportunities in this field of knowledge. In this context, identifying new operation models and vehicles that could be applied for last mile deliveries in urban areas becomes crucial. Therefore, this paper aims to identify, through a systematic literature review, the main types of vehicles addressed in the literature that could be used in the last mile of urban freight distribution in order to increase the sustainability of this type of operation. The results indicate a trend for the implementation of smaller and lighter vehicles for last mile deliveries in urban areas: 47% of the studies suggest, among other alternatives, the use of bicycles and tricycles; while 53% of the articles support the use of light commercial vehicles. Another trend observed in this type of distribution, indicated in 64% of the studies, is the shift from conventional (fossil fuels) to alternative sources of energy (electricity).

“…Many companies have begun to introduce alternative modes of driving systems, particularly electric and hybrid engines, in order to reduce emissions. This is true particularly for large fleet operators in urban areas, where it remains a challenge to square the circle between preventing air pollution and keeping both the population and freight traffic on the move, as Foltyński (2014) outlines. National governments have initiated research on this complex issue, projecting electric mobility into the year 2030 (see, for instance, Michaelis et al, n.d.) and discussing as to whether a shift to electric vehicles will benefit the environment (Helms et al, 2015).…”

This paper presents methods and results which allow an analysis of relevant driving parameters of hybrid and electric vehicles. In order to gain crucial insights into how industrial customers use hybrid and electric vehicles, the paper investigates the following parameters: information about odometer, charging processes and battery charging levels. The data used for this purpose was provided by the Canadian fleet management company Geotab Inc. They were evaluated by means of 'Google BigQuery' and the statistics programme 'IBM SPSS Statistics'. It turned out that correlations between 'charging time' and 'battery charging level' exist, as well as between 'battery level' and 'distance per day'. One of the main questions in the present study asks whether long charging times of car batteries lead to decreased average battery charging levels. As a result of this study, the longer a hybrid vehicle is charged per day, the lower sink its average battery charging level. The findings of this research help managers of car fleets to enhance their existing fleet management for establishing more efficient fleets with respect to ecological and economical aspects. Our research is particularly significant as this will save money across such fleets worldwide, and at the same time, preserve the environment as much as possible.

“…Assim, os resultados encontrados neste estudo apontam que a adoção triciclo elétrico para a distribuição postal, na cidade do Rio de Janeiro, está alinhado com a necessidade de eliminar as externalidades negativas produzidas pela atividade do transporte, sobretudo por causa do grande consumo de energia de origem fóssil, apontado por Rothengatter et al (2003). Além disso, como os resultados apontaram redução de custos e melhoria do nıvel de serviço, mostram-se também coerente com o estudo de Foltyński (2014), que aponta a e)iciência da alternativa de adotar veıćulos elétricos para o transporte de carga em áreas urbanas. A operação DTE tambeḿ trouxe vantagens sob o ponto de vista social, uma vez que se observou que, na operação DTE, a frequência cardıáca do entregador )icou na Zona de Manutenção (entre 50 e 60% da FC máxima) em um intervalo de tempo 61% maior do que na operação DTI, trazendo assim vantagens para a saúde do trabalhador.…”

Sustentabilidade na última milha da distribuição postal em áreas urbanas mediante adoção de triciclos elétricos

et al. 2018

A demanda por serviços de transporte em todo o mundo é um fenômeno que cresce à medida em que o processo de urbanização avança. No entanto, o excessivo uso de veículos acentua os problemas relacionados às entregas de última milha e à emissão de poluentes atmosféricos locais. O objetivo deste estudo é avaliar a sustentabilidade alcançada por meio da utilização de triciclos elétricos na distribuição postal na cidade do Rio de Janeiro. Identificou-se a redução de 27,86% do custo total de transportes. Ademais, observou-se reduções mensais de emissões de poluentes atmosféricos por rota de 10,11 g de CO; 32,78 g de NOX; 0,02 g de RCHO; 0,7 g de NMHC e 0,33 g de MP, enquanto que as reduções mensais de GEE por rota foram de 21,01 kg de CO2eq. Com relação aos aspectos sociais, a frequência cardíaca mostrou-se constante durante toda a operação, enquanto, na operação de distribuição tradicional intermodal, verificou-se uma maior variação durante a operação de entrega.
