50th Anniversary Invited Article—Goods Distribution with Electric Vehicles: Review and Research Perspectives
综述了电动车辆在货物配送中的技术、营销背景及现有研究，为运输研究者提供该领域的研究现状和未来方向。
Since the mid-2000s, electric vehicles have gained popularity in several countries even though their market share is still relatively low. However, most gains have been made in the area of passenger vehicles and most technical and scientific studies have been devoted to this case. By contrast, the potential of electric vehicular technology for goods distribution has received less attention. The issues related to the use of electric vehicles for goods distribution reveal a wide range of relevant research problems. The aims of this survey paper are to provide transportation researchers an overview of the technological and marketing background needed to conduct research in this area, to present a survey of the existing research in this field, and to offer perspectives for future research.
