Abstract:
Battery electric drayage trucks (BEDTs) offer an opportunity to decarbonize the drayage fleets. This article analyzes the potential of BEDTs using data on 1,051 drayage trucks in Southern California. A methodology is developed to evaluate energy and charger requirements across singleton, small, and large fleets. This study assesses the fraction of trucks that can be electrified using battery sizes from 100 to 1000 kWh. Our analysis reveals decreasing uncertainties for fleet electrification with increasing battery size and with offsite charging involved. Combining an 800-kWh battery with both depot and offsite charging using 350 kW chargers, approximately 95% of diesel drayage trucks can be electrified. However, singleton fleets demonstrate the lowest performance and experience substantial improvements through offsite charging. Preferred locations for depot and off-site chargers are identified near the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles, and the City of Ontario. These results provide essential guidance for electrifying drayage trucks.
