Integrated Modeling Program and Total Cost of Ownership Calculator for Medium-Duty and Heavy-Duty Battery Electric Trucks in Regional Freight Use-Case Deployments

Research Product Type
Research Report
This report outlines the technical development and application of the Total Cost of Ownership Spreadsheet Tool (TCOST), a Microsoft Excel-based calculator that simplifies and integrates the main functions, data, and outputs of pre-existing models (MOVES-Matrix and the GREET Model) and other external sources of economic data.

Integrated Modelling Program and TCO Calculator for Battery-Electric Medium- and Heavy-Duty Truck Deployment in Regional Freight Use-Cases

  • Principal Investigator Caleb Weed
  • Georgia Institute of Technology
This study identifies heavily-trafficked freight truck routes of optimal distances in Georgia and quantifies electrification benefits for fleets operating on these corridors by integrating outputs from MOVES Matrix, the Argonne National Laboratory’s GREET Model, the Georgia Tech Fuel and Emissions Calculator (FEC), and other models into a web-based tool.

MOVES 4.0 Updates for the Fuel and Emissions Calculator (FEC)

Research Product Type
Research Report
This project employs the outputs from MOVES-Matrix 4.0 to generate a data set that can be employed by users of the 2018 Fuel and Emissions Calculator (Version 3.0) to update energy use and emission rates to reflect the latest outputs from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s MOVES 4.0 energy use and emission rate model for the Atlanta, Georgia summer scenario.

Real World Brake Activity of Heavy-Duty Vehicles

  • Principal Investigator Heejung Jung, Ph.D.
  • University of California, Riverside
This study aims to investigate the influence of regenerative brake system on the brake PM emissions using vehicles which has both battery electric vehicle, electric vehicle, and internal combustion engine (ICE) versions, or hydrogen electric vehicles and ICE versions.

Real World Brake Activity of Heavy-Duty Vehicles

Research Product Type
Research Report
Previous studies focused on determination of brake emission rate from lab testing and so it lacks brake activity of real world conditions. The study aimed to establish a test method to determine brake activity of a heavy-duty vehicle. Brake parameters and vehicle parameters were measured during two chassis cycles and two on-road test tests.
