With about 22%, the transport sector is one of the largest global emitters of the greenhouse gas CO2. Long-distance road freight transport accounts for a large and rising share within this sector. For this reason, in February 2019, the European Union agreed to introduce CO2 emission standards...

Die Verbreitung von Elektrofahrzeugen spielt eine wichtige Rolle zur Erreichung der Klimaziele im Verkehrssektor und kann auch zu einer größeren Unabhängigkeit der Energieversorgung beitragen. Die Erforschung ihrer Verbreitung ist daher weiterhin von großer Relevanz. Im Rahmen einer Studie...

Facing climate change, The European Union has set ambitious greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets. Within Europe, heavy-duty vehicles (HDV) account for a quarter of greenhouse gas emissions in the transport sector and therefore plays a central role in achieving the climate targets. A potential...

Heavy-duty vehicles (HDV) account for less than 2-5% of the vehicles on the road in Europe but contribute to 15-22% of CO2 emissions from road transport. Battery electric trucks (BETs) could be deployed on a large scale to reduce greenhouse gas emissions but they require charging infrastructure...

Following the Paris Agreement, virtually all countries worldwide have committed themselves to undertaking efforts to limit global warming to 1.5êC. Within the European Union (EU), the recent "Fit for 55" policy package proposes ambitious greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation policies for all sectors...

Battery electric trucks (BETs) are the most promising option for fast and large-scale CO2 emission reduction in road freight transport. Yet, the limited range and longer charging times compared to diesel trucks make long-haul BET applications challenging, so a comprehensive fast charging network...

Angesichts des Klimawandels werden Maßnahmen zur CO2-Reduktion dringend benötigt und viel diskutiert. Der Verkehrssektor spielt dabei mit einem Anteil von etwa 20 % an den Gesamt-CO2-Emissionen in Deutschland eine zentrale Rolle. Neben Pkw sind vor allem schwere Lkw im Güterfernverkehr durch...

In diesem Working Paper wird ein möglicher Tankstellenaufbau für schwere Brennstoffzellen-Lkw (BZ-Lkw) in Deutschland bis 2050 auf Basis eines wissenschaftlichen Simulationsmodells skizziert. Bestehende oder sich im Aufbau befindliche Wasserstoff(H2)-Tankstellen für Pkw können nicht oder nur...

Battery electric vehicles (BEV) present a promising approach to decarbonizing the transportation sector. This extends beyond electric passenger cars, such as electric motorcycles that hold significant potential in emerging markets with high population density and income disparities. However,...

Electric vehicles (EVs) can help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions of the transportation sector. Therefore, the German government has defined various measures and targets to promote the diffusion of EVs. However, factors influencing the market diffusion of EVs as well as interdependencies...
