External costs of battery-electric and fuel cell electric vehicles for heavy-duty applications
该研究通过井到轮分析，评估了重型电池电动汽车和燃料电池电动汽车在多种能源路径下的十种排放外部成本，发现电池车通常成本最低，但能源来源和载重会显著影响结果。
Transformation processes for decarbonization have now reached the heavy-duty mobility sector. Several studies have analyzed the external costs of conventional powertrains and freight transport. However, a thorough evaluation of the external costs of Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles is missing. Using a Well-To-Wheel analysis, our study estimates external costs related to ten different emissions of Battery-Electric Vehicles and Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles on the basis of different pathways and energy sources. Our results suggest that Battery-Electric Vehicles cause the least amount of external costs in most of the cases investigated here. Yet, energy source and payload have a substantial effect on the outcome and can even lead to results in which Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles with Steam Methane Reforming pathways would be the best solution for mitigating external costs. Policymakers should therefore not only focus on tailpipe emissions when trying to incentivize market sales of Zero-Emission Vehicles. • Estimation of external costs for heavy-duty vehicles with alternative powertrains. • Determination of external costs along the hydrogen supply chain. • Sensitivity analysis of the impact of different energy sources on hydrogen pathways.
