Subject(s): Abstract: Syfte och mål: Elektrifierade fordon för godsdistribution i städer erbjuder hög energieffektivitet, låga eller inga lokala emissioner och minskade ljudemissioner. Kunskap saknas om hur koncept för storskalig elefktrifiering av godsdistribution kan se ut. Det föreslagna projektet samlar flera intressenter i värdekedjan, myndigheter och forskningsutförande för att bygga ny kunskap om kostnader, miljökonsekvenser, och affärsmodeller för elektrifiering av transportsystemet för godsdistribution i stadsmiljö. Abstract: The proposed project will study the feasibility of the electrification of urban goods transport by involving all relevant actors in the transport value chain. In addition, leading research actors will contribute with research and input on policy implications, information and communication technology and business perspectives. As a result of the project, valuable knowledge is generated on the possible business opportunities for the project parties in electrified goods distribution. The improved understanding of the cost and benefits (economical as well as environmental) of urban vehicle electrification will be new and helpful input for authorities and organisations responsible for funding, regulations and incentives to their future programmes. The project activities will be structured into seven work packages. Data collection will primarily be carried out through interviews and subsequent analysis & synthesis in common work shops. By working in a collaborative cross-industry set-up (so-called open innovation) the probability of finding innovative solutions is increased.
