“…In case of distribution between business places situated in multiple smaller towns or in peri-urban areas-meaning that a vehicle also has to travel to rural zones, and the overall driving performance is increasing-the use of hybrid freight vehicles may be taken into account. A hybrid power drive enables significant improvement of the vehicle range, and at the same time it is possible to use it in urban zero-emission zones [51].…”

The Growth of E-Commerce Due to COVID-19 and the Need for Urban Logistics Centers Using Electric Vehicles: Bratislava Case Study

et al. 2021

Before the COVID-19 pandemic there had already been an increase in individual shipment transportation including inner-city areas. During the pandemic and implementation of adopted preventive measures, it has increased by more than 100% in some cities. This presents an unsustainable development, particularly in terms of urban environment. The above-mentioned development has accelerated the research related to optimal allocation of logistics centres considering the last-mile distribution. Unfortunately, the theoretical mathematical model that finds an optimal urban logistics centre location based on the matrix of distance, number, and weight of shipments is not applicable in most cities. Therefore, the following research methodology was chosen in accordance with the approved territorial plan. The authors considered those locations in Bratislava—the capital of Slovak Republic—which are designated, or suitable for building up of an urban logistics centre. These localities were afterwards evaluated in a real-world case study employing methods of mathematical programming (linear programming), the nearest neighbour method, and the Clarke-Wright method. The presented methodology can be applied not only when deciding on the appropriate location of the city logistics centre, but also at optimizing the vehicle routing problem. Taking into account the urban logistics sustainability and the e-commerce growth, it was analysed whether the suggested location of urban logistics centre is feasible to provision examined facilities using electric vehicles. The range of considered electric vehicles of N2 category present in the market tends to be at the limits of distribution routes length for the given case study. Therefore, the article also deals with the fast-charging possibilities of vehicles during handling operations and the use of hybrid freight vehicles in city logistics.

“…For vehicle testing, a light commercial van was investigated with a vehicle mass of 3.3 t, a plug-in hybrid powertrain with a battery capacity of 14 kWh, and an electric motor with 95 kW peak power. 72,73 Based on its maximum vehicle mass of 5.5 t when fully loaded, the baseline conventional vehicle was certified according to the Euro 6d heavy-duty standards. Emissions from fuel combustion were measured for diesel and additivated HyFiT-fuels in the worldwide harmonized light vehicles test cycle (WLTC) 74 with the maximum speed limited to 120 km h -1 .…”

The transition towards clean transport requires energy carriers tailored to their application. Promising energy carriers for heavy-duty transportation are synthetic fuels. Here, we introduce hydroformylated Fischer-Tropsch (HyFiT) fuels designed to simultaneously address the four key challenges of current synthetic fuels: (1) HyFiT-fuel production closes the carbon cycle in a flexible way by employing either biomass or carbon dioxide as feedstock, while being scalable through mature technologies. (2) HyFiT-fuels are shown experimentally to comply with global fuel standards. Material compatibility is demonstrated for two standard sealing materials, enabling the retrofit of today’s vehicle fleets. (3) Vehicle testing in a light commercial van shows that HyFiT-fuels substantially reduce combustion-induced particulate matter and nitrogen oxides. (4) A well-to-wheel life cycle assessment finds that HyFiT-fuels enable the transition to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions, showing simultaneously a favorable profile in a range of other environmental parameters, and can thereby complement electrification for heavy-duty long-haul transportation.
