Abstract [en]

Purpose: Electrifying freight deliveries is viewed as a vital step in reducing the sector's environmental impact. However, the logistics systems are not uniform and different systems pose different challenges, thus likely to use different electrification strategies. The purpose of this paper is to develop a framework to describe how different logistic systems relate to different electrification challenges, and what type of electrification strategy is suitable for which logistics systems.

Research Approach: The study uses a descriptive approach to create a framework with empirical data from two ongoing research projects through interviews, workshops, and seminars. Suitable electrification strategies for different logistics systems are determined. 

Findings and Originality: The proposed framework illustrates how different transport segments can be described and how the segments can be combined with charging strategies. Furthermore, by combining the segments and charging strategies, it is possible to identify suitable electrification strategies in different types of systems. 

Research Impact: This study takes a holistic view of logistics systems and electrification, to shed light on enablers and barriers for electrification of trucks in different types of logistics contexts. 

Practical Impact: The framework can build an understanding of aspects that must be considered in different systems and situations. It will help identify transport segments which are more or less suitable for electrification depending on how developed the public charging infrastructure is.
