Abstract
For the implementation of electrified fleets, network feasibility is a large hurdle, simplified by battery swapping and charging technology. This paper identifies seven major stakeholders in the NetZero goal towards road-freight electrification, battery suppliers, energy and power distribution representatives, fleet carriers, hub operators, logistics operators, users of the system, and truck drivers. The argument of loose cooperation between stakeholders will enable a simplified and efficient integration of electric trucks into trucking systems following the Physical Internet methodology. Under the goal of hyperconnected logistic networks, the targets of cooperation, associated benefits, and overall outcomes are outlined. The paper seeks to demonstrate how guiding expectations from design to implementation can maximize environmental impact and build resiliency at every level of the network.
