Elektrifiering av lastbilsflotta : Fallstudie på Akka Frakt

Sammanfattning: Introduction: The case study was conducted at the transport company Akka Frakt which faces the challenge of electrifying its vehicle fleet. The purpose of the study is to investigate how Akka Frakt can implement the conversion with as little impact as possible on the environment and operational activities. Problem description: Akka Frakt has recently invested in many new fossil-fueled trucks that have a long lifetime left. In addition to that, electric trucks are a new industry, which means that the technology has not been developed to adapt to all types of special constructions for trucks. Theory: The study's theoretical starting point is sustainable development where all three dimensions have been important to review. Method: The empirics was collected through qualitative methods in the form of a literature search, interviews, and the provision of internal documents. When analyzing the data, the tools Ishikawa diagram, breakdown, and risk analysis have been used. Results: The results show that the optimal changeover for Akka Frakt is ongoing over a ten-year period and electrifying all trucks where possible with today's technology. The existing trucks that have not yet been replaced are refueled with HVO100 and where electrification is not possible, the trucks are converted to biogas. Conclusions: There are problems with electrifying Akka Frakt's vehicle fleet. A major problem is the current lack of technology that does not make it possible to electrify the entire vehicle fleet. With the electrification, there are also problems that affect the operational activities, for example a running-in period.
