“…To complement analyses based on monetary cost components, one should add the positive aspects associated with the environmental benefits of switching from diesel to hydrogen trucks, since most of the studies we have reviewed found clear benefits in terms of LCA, although differing across pathways [33][34][35][36][37][38].…”

This paper investigates the economic competitiveness of hydrogen-powered trucks. It reviews the growing number of papers that provide an estimate of the total cost of ownership (TCO) of hydrogen-powered trucks relative to their diesel equivalents. It examines the methodology applied, the variables considered, the data used for estimation, and the results obtained. All reviewed studies conclude that hydrogen-powered trucks are not currently cost-competitive, while they might become competitive after 2030. The conclusion holds across truck types and sizes, hydrogen pathways, mission profiles, and countries. However, we find that there is still a huge area of uncertainty regarding the purchase price of hydrogen-powered trucks and the cost of hydrogen, which hampers the reliability of the results obtained. Various areas of methodological improvements are suggested.

“…Road Transportation trucks come in a variety of shapes, sizes, weights, and engine powers to suit the needs they serve (Alonso-Villar et al, 2022). The terminology of HDV is also categorized accordingly to gross vehicle weight (GVW), chassis configuration and axle type in European countries (Rodriguez, 2018).…”

Environmental-friendly Transportation is the latest evolution in managing operation and combating climate crises. In the automotive industry, this concept introduces a new feasibility study to the post usage stage of the transitioning green heavy-duty vehicle specifically in municipal operations. This financial model research investigates the environmental, social and economics, focusing overloading problems for improvement needs. To achieve this, factors of vehicles for Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) is considered. Then, each factor is individually modelled to accurately represent its respective environmental, economic, and societal needs. A mathematical financial model, derived based on the modelled relationship, was later constructed, and later converted into a computer model. Furthermore, the result of each model will be able to assist the Malaysian Government, automotive manufacturers, and hired waste management contractors to formulate policies and strategies that would lead towards positive financial performance with related to environmental issues to be quantified. Hence, this paper examines the adoption of environmentally friendly technologies in Malaysia, focusing on the challenge of assessing the minimum Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for GHDV fleets. This paper highlights the need for comprehensive TCO analysis, considering environmental impacts, and integrating LCC principles for effective implementation and management of cost-efficient HDV fleets.

“…An electric vehicle uses an electric motor as a prime mover to provide the necessary drive/propulsion torque. In this work, an induction motor is used as the actuation mechanism and represented using Equation (7). The same motor model in Equation ( 7) characterises the regenerative braking component.…”

“…Vehicle level improvisations such as reducing aerodynamic and rolling resistance forces through improved vehicle body and tyre design and improving the efficiency of the propulsion drive-line have been investigated for enhanced heavy vehicle fuel efficiency and thereby reduced emissions [4], [5]. Use of alternative fuels, high-capacity articulated vehicles, and optimal planning of operating routes are some of the other strategies being explored for clean and sustainable heavy vehicle operation [6], [7].…”

Even though diesel-powered Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) are major contributors of greenhouse gas emission, HGV electrification is still in its infancy owing to various challenges. Costlier and heavier batteries and lack of charging infrastructure along long routes are the major bottlenecks in the realisation of HGV electrification for long-haul freight transportation. In this regard, adopting technologies that can make HGV electrification viable is vital to aid the transportation sector decarbonisation. Benefiting from approaches such as the use of overhead catenary power, and conforming to operate in a platoon formation, it would be possible to considerably reduce the cost of HGV electrification and make it economically feasible. Utilising overhead catenary infrastructure would result in requiring economical charging infrastructure, shorter charging cycles, and smaller batteries, while not compromising on the overall payload of HGVs. HGVs in platoon formation result in energy consumption reduction and increased traffic throughput. This paper investigates the benefits of using overhead catenary-powered electric HGVs for freight transportation and also explores the advantages associated with electric HGV platoon formations on the same. The feasibility analysis has been done with the support of close to real physics-based electric HGV models on realistic operating scenarios adopting an in-service highway drive cycle. From the analysis, electric HGV platooning using overhead catenary as the power source was found to be economical with ≈ 10.4% reduction in electricity cost when compared to without platooning while devising electrification strategies for long-haul freight transportation.
