Abstract:

Port Houston (POH), as the Gulf Coast's largest port, has a great opportunity for fleet electrification due to its high trucking activity. This initial feasibility assessment of electrifying drayage truck fleets operating in and near POH comprised a comprehensive examination of technological, operational, and economic factors, as well as detailed computation of diesel and battery electric trucks. The study discovered that electrification would result in significant emissions savings and is technologically, operationally, and economically feasible to a substantial extent, based on data collected from 40 drayage trucks in the Houston area from 2017 to 2018. With current electric truck and charger technologies, up to 42% of a fleet mileage might be electric, assuming trucks charge only at the depot. With a 12-year life expectancy and 27,000 annual miles, the total cost of ownership of a battery electric truck becomes cheaper than the total cost of ownership of a diesel truck. The greater the distance traveled by a truck, the shorter the payback period. Also, an electric truck would save almost 1 gram of nitrogen oxide per mile at the tailpipe. Such emissions savings would continue to grow over time, as electric vehicles continue to emit zero emissions from the exhaust, while diesel trucks age and become more polluting.
