Working on this in the real world?
This simplified model illustrates the payload penalty associated with battery-electric HGVs. A full fleet analysis should also consider charging downtime, route profile, infrastructure costs and utilisation.
Start a conversationThis is a simplified model. Real fleet decisions depend on route profile, utilisation, payload sensitivity, downtime, charging or refuelling constraints, finance assumptions and policy exposure.
