Electric trucks: wishful thinking or the real deal?: The potential of electric tractor-trailers as a means of CO2,eq reduction in the Netherlands by 2030

In this thesis a simplified vehicle model was developed using linear correlations between incidental power demand and energy usage at four different stages: 1) propulsion, 2) propulsion during braking, 3) regenerative braking, and 4) maximum regenerative power. In the model the efficiencies of: charging and discharging of the battery, the...
