Can an Industry-Led infrastructure development strategy facilitate electric truck Adoption?
研究了行业主导的充电基础设施策略,通过整合逆向物流网络与充电站布局,促进电动卡车采用并降低碳排放。挪威案例显示,该策略虽增加运营成本,但可降低总成本0.18%-2.37%并减少碳排放16.3%-17.6%。
Reverse logistics plays a critical role in sustainable development and circular economy by transforming waste into value. However, transporting large volumes of waste and recyclables generates significant carbon emissions. This paper explores an industry-led strategy for charging infrastructure development, which integrates the reverse logistics network designs with a network of charging stations to promote electric trucks (E-trucks) adoption and reduce carbon footprints in transportation. Our model optimizes operational costs while ensuring accessibility to charging infrastructure. A case study in Norway demonstrates that, despite higher operating costs due to additional charging stations, the adoption of E-trucks can decrease total reverse logistics costs by 0.18%—2.37% and cut carbon emissions by 16.3%—17.6%. These findings support the economic viability and environmental benefits of this strategy for advancing sustainable practices in transportation, and it further highlights the interdependencies between logistics network design and charging infrastructure planning.
