A new study by MIT’s Center for Transportation and Logistics has shown that by adopting electrically propelled vehicles, regional transportation fleets could potentially realize operational cost savings of 9 to 12 percent over diesel trucks.
Researchers based their “model costs” on a fleet of 250 trucks operated by office supplier Staples, and the utility company ISO New England. Data was collected using scenarios in which these vehicles relied on one of three different power sources: electric, gas/electric hybrid and diesel.
