Subject(s): Online resources: Notes: Härtill 6 uppsatser Dissertation note: Diss. (sammanfattning) Göteborg : Göteborgs universitet, 2023 Abstract: The cost and financing of the road freight sector’s sustainability transition, driven by significant greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and cost considerations, represent an urgent yet underexplored research focus. This study investigates the costs of fleet replacement with zero-emission powertrains, battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and fuel cell vehicles (FCVs), emphasizing cost variables that have been overlooked in transition research. It explores the financing dynamics of the transition for this sector at both the strategic and tactical levels, and it investigates circular economy (CE) transition barriers specific to BEV batteries. Six studies are developed, involving multiple sources of data and methodological approaches: systematic literature review, numerical modeling and scenario testing, data-driven agent based simulation, network analysis, and interviews.
