Synopsis: Transport & travel: Ground travel: Truck:

Operating at less than 2%of the cost of today s car, truck, jet, ship, and train systems, this emerging tube transport system will be a massive undertaking that demands talented new-age thinkers for decades to come.

The advantages of electric versus diesel depend largely on how the trucks will be used--the frequency of stops

In city driving with frequent stops the electric trucks clearly outperform diesel vehicles. On average in the United states electric urban delivery trucks use about 30 percent less total energy

and emit about 40 percent less greenhouse gases than diesel trucks for about the same total cost taking into account both the purchase price

and where the truck will be used. In urban delivery routes with lots of stop -and-start driving electric trucks are roughly 50 percent more efficient to operate than diesel trucks overall.

That makes them at least 20 percent less expensive than diesel-fueled trucks and reduces greenhouse gas emissions by roughly 50 percent.

Where they are stopped frequently and started the higher efficiency of the electric motor at low speeds

However electric delivery trucks lose their advantage in suburban routes that involve fewer stops and higher average speed.

and price electricity generation and transmission efficiency electric truck recharging infrastructure and purchase price. The study findings were reported July 16 2013 in the journal Environmental science and Technology.

In every state in the U s. electric trucks provided some reduction in greenhouse gas emissions with urban routes providing the most advantage.

In about half of the states the electric trucks cut greenhouse gas emissions by a third

and electricity and the potential cost of replacing an electric truck's battery pack if it has a shorter-than-expected lifetime.

Lithium-ion battery packs are expected to last the lifetime of the trucks as much as 150000 miles for the drive cycles tested.

Technology advances make predicting the long-term price of electric trucks difficult said Valerie Thomas one of the study's co-authors and a professor in Georgia Tech's Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering and School

Battery price reductions down the road could have a large effect on the cost-competitiveness of electric trucks

while only diesel fuel prices could have a similarly large effect on the future cost-competitiveness of diesel trucks.

The researchers decided to study electric trucks in urban delivery applications because vehicles in these applications tend to travel the same routes each day spend significant amounts of time in stop

The comparison involved a 2011 Smith Newton electric truck powered by a 120 kw electric motor

The two trucks had approximately the same gross vehicle weight curb weight and payload. The comparison controlled for improvements in diesel efficiency between 2006 and 2011.

The researchers were surprised to find that the electric truck had cost advantages over the diesel vehicle under some conditions.

since the purchase price of the electric truck studied was higher than the diesel truck --and other models of electric trucks would have larger cost differentials.

Over the life of the truck there are many situations in which the total cost of operating an electric vehicle is less than operating a diesel vehicle noted Marilyn Brown another co-author and a professor in Georgia Tech's School of Public Policy.

Our expectation was that the electric vehicle would provide environmental benefits but at a cost.

and in locations with relatively low greenhouse gas emissions from electricity electric delivery trucks both save money

The relative benefit of electric trucks over diesel counterparts could be much more significant than one might expect said Lee.

If the electric truck is deployed in the right drive or duty cycle application fleet operators could enjoy higher returns on investment while saving energy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
