ELECTRIFICATION OF ROAD TRANSPORT

V magistrskem delu je obravnavana tematika elektrifikacije vozil, katera je vedno bolj aktualna zaradi vpliva fosilnih goriv na spreminjanje podnebja. Opisana so električna vozila, vrste teh vozil in njihove prednosti v primerjavi s konvencionalnimi vozili. Predstavljeni so trendi v industriji električne mobilnosti, vrste vzpodbud za hitrejšo implementacijo tehnologije ter vpliv velesil na elektrifikacijo. Raziskane so možnosti izboljšav konvencionalnih tovornih vozil. Ker so baterije trenutno ena izmed večjih slabosti so opisani različni pristopi za optimalno izbiro velikosti in uporabo v praksi. Magistrska naloga obravnava tako izključno električno in vodikovo tehnologijo in možnost njune implementacije v segment cestnih tovornih sredstev. Analizirani so stroški uporabe električnih tovornih vozil v primerjavi z dizelskimi. Na koncu dela je opisana uporaba obeh tehnologij v različnih okoljih ter opisan predlog implementacije v prihodnosti.Master’s thesis discusses vehicle electrification which is increasingly relevant because of fossil fuel impact on climate change. Electric vehicles, vehicle types and their advantages are described in comparison with conventional vehicles. Electric mobility industry trends are presented with different incentives for faster technology implementation as well as superpowers impact on electrification. Potential improvements of conventional road freight vehicles are researched. Because batteries are one of the weak points of technology, different approaches are described for optimal battery size choice and usage of it in practice. Master’s thesis discusses electric and hydrogen technology with implementation options to the segment of heavy duty road vehicles. Costs of electric road freight vehicles are analyzed in comparison with diesel ones. At the end of the thesis usage of both technologies is described in different environments with suggestion for future implementation
