Emission-rich heavy long-haulage is a main lever for Germany to achieve its ambitious CO2 targets, in particular the alternative technologies catenary-hybrid and fuel cell are considered promising options. This article covers technical characteristics, infrastructure requirements and adoption of new technologies in the market. Truck purchasing decisions, infrastructure expansion and technological improvement are modeled using System Dynamics and thus allow to study different scenarios’ effects on society, e.g. CO2 emissions. Results show that even under strong incentive schemes mass adoption of catenary-hybrid trucks starts in the late 2020s, high-cost fuel-cell remains a niche technology |
