Building a Scalable Electrification Infrastructure in Logistics
Abstract
dc:description.abstractThe transportation sector in the US contributes to about a third of all greenhouse gas emissions, about a quarter of which stems from road freight. A major driver of this environmental footprint remains a heavy reliance on trucking—the least fuel-efficient mode of transportation. A key pathway toward freight decarbonization, therefore, involves shifting from internal combustion engines (ICE) to electric powertrains in truck fleets. This work develops analytics-based solutions to support and assess the electrification of long-haul logistics operations, by applying the methods to PepsiCo’s operations in Texas.
