Innovative Freight Trasport: Case Study on New Technologies Reliability

Following the objectives set by COP26 and the milestones established by the European Union (EU) in the world of mobility, more and more road freight companies are starting an evolution process. Transport sector represents still the 30% of CO2 emission and in 2020 the heavy truck sector emissions reaches significant values: 1776 MtCO2. To face this problem and meets the requirements proposed by EU several companies begin to study the adoptable solutions for decarbonization. Therefore, they proposed several options to reduce emissions and increase efficiency in particular road electrification and platooning. Therefore, this work wants to analyze these technologies on the market, and then it tries to apply them in a real case, verifying if the electrical infrastructure requirements are respected in different scenarios. Finally, several considerations on the model and on the market are observed, in order to provide realistic expectations for the future.
