Master’s thesis discusses vehicle electrification which is increasingly relevant because of fossil fuel impact on climate change. Electric vehicles, vehicle types and their advantages are described in comparison with conventional vehicles.
Electric mobility industry trends are presented with different incentives for faster technology implementation as well as superpowers impact on electrification. Potential improvements of conventional road freight vehicles are researched. Because batteries are one of the weak points
of technology, different approaches are described for optimal battery size choice and usage of it in practice.
Master’s thesis discusses electric and hydrogen technology with implementation options to the segment of heavy duty road vehicles. Costs of electric road freight vehicles are analyzed in comparison with diesel ones. At the end of the thesis usage of both technologies is described in
different environments with suggestion for future implementation.
