The Current and Future Performance and Costs of Battery Electric Trucks

  • Principal Investigator Lewis Fulton, Ph.D.
  • University of California, Davis
This white paper will review the key literature and estimates, attempt to understand the reason for differences and resolve these, undertake sensitivity analysis and a “final” robust analysis with conclusions about the best applications of BETs and where they may be very challenged to replace diesels.

Dataset: Evaluating the effectiveness of “Smart Pedal” systems for vehicle fleets

Research Product Type
Data
The SmartPedalTM technology was evaluated using six Caltrans vehicles, each monitored for two data collection periods: 1) without the SmartPedalTM device, to collect the baseline data sets,  and 2) with the SmartPedalTM device, to collect a comparison data set with the “Smart Pedal” technology. The collected data is presented here.

Evaluating the Effectiveness of “Smart Pedal” Systems for Vehicle Fleets

  • Principal Investigator George Scora
  • University of California, Riverside
The research team will utilize the before/after “Smart Pedal” data to conduct a cost/benefit analysis of the top 2% of Caltrans Fleet vehicles which would benefit from “Smart Pedal” technology installation.

The Costs of Owning Battery-Electric Trucks – Is the Research Aligning?

Research Product Type
Policy Brief
Researchers at the University of California, Davis reviewed 10 recent studies of the total cost of ownership of battery-electric trucks, now and in the future, compared to a baseline diesel truck to derive general findings that are robust across all the studies.
