Also, innovations as autonomous driving are expected to make transport more sustainable. Especially now, as fuel prices are rising, regulatory pressures and global warming is increasing, the trucking industry is looking to adopt these radical innovations. These disruptive innovations require companies in the heavyduty trucking industry to transform the current socio-technical system to increase the adoption rate of sustainable transportation possibilities. This thesis focuses on two main innovations, zero emission HDT power trains and fully autonomous heavy duty trucks. Battery electric (BE) and fuel cell electric (FCE) powered vehicles are considered the best potential zero-emission power trains solutions. Autonomous and connected vehicles are considered the promising future of safe and efficient transport. The scope of this thesis focuses on one main stakeholder: the logistical service providers. For logistical service providers decarbonisation is a chance to modernize and reduce emissions while improving their own operations. These logistical service providers are the decision makers, whether these innovations are adopted or not. What factors determine the adoption of these radical architectural innovations?
