Effects of semi-trailer modifications on HGV fuel consumption

Anil K. Madhusudhanan et al.

Summary: The study found that the use of aerodynamic and lightweight double-deck semi-trailers has a significant impact on reducing fuel consumption of Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) by approximately 20.2%. These improvements are beneficial for reducing carbon emissions and are relatively easy to implement.

Advanced biofuels to decarbonise European transport by 2030: Markets, challenges, and policies that impact their successful market uptake

Calliope Panoutsou et al.

Summary: Advanced biofuels are important options for reducing carbon emissions in transportation, but their production and market uptake remain low due to challenges across the value chain. In order to meet the 2030 targets, immediate action is needed to expand market scale and integrate tailored policy interventions to overcome challenges.

The economics of electric roads

Maria Borjesson et al.

Summary: This paper introduces a method for evaluating the social benefits of electric roads and applies it to the Swedish highway network. It highlights the economies of scale and scope of electric roads. The study finds that setting user charges to optimize social welfare may not fully cover the investment costs, while setting charges to optimize profit could cover costs if the electric road network is large enough.
