Development of a Transport Application based Cost Model for the assessment of future commercial vehicle concepts

摘要: The Total Cost of Ownership and the payback period are main purchase criterions fleet operators regarding acquisition new commercial vehicles. Therefore, critical success factors operating costs. However, costs highly individual depending on transport task, vehicle size powertrain technology. In order to perform a comparable transparent evaluation competing technologies development systemic consistent model which considers specific configuration related is required. Within this study, techno-economic approach for assessment future concepts coping with complexity road freight transportation sector introduced supports strategic decisions manufacturers relating investments in alternative considering requirements as payload, volumetric load, driving range, cost period. Furthermore, by use application based information policy makers what circumstances reach competitiveness generated. For demonstration reason exemplary case different tractor-trailer combination 40 tonnes gross weight analysed.
