Researchers at Georgia Tech have compared medium-duty (MD) electric and diesel urban delivery trucks in terms of life-cycle energy consumption, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and total cost of ownership (TCO). Is the electric truck cost-effective in comparison with the diesel truck? Click to enlarge. —Lee et al.

One of the key points he made was that new technology generally adds cost to existing product baselines in trucking, and the added cost has to be paid for by offsets in other areas, such as reducing driver cost; increasing the payload per vehicle; increasing freight miles per year per unit; or reducing operating costs.

As such, gas guzzling, internal combustion cars and trucks will likely persist well into the future—even if they are not the majority of vehicles on the road any longer—and their drivers will be paying a lot more for fuel (gas) than their EV-driving lane mates. Meanwhile, the cost of EVs continues to go down.

However, this initial investment is often offset by the lower cost of ownership over the vehicle’s lifetime. Even affordable EVs like the Mini Cooper cost more up front. In addition, charging an EV costs significantly less than filling up a gas tank, making EVs a more affordable option in the long run.

LCEBs are defined as vehicles producing at least 30% fewer lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions than a current Euro-III-equivalent diesel bus of the same total passenger capacity. There is a difference in which technologies are of interest at this payback rate, with hybrid being more favored and gas the least (but still with some interest).
