Comparing operating costs: e-truck vs. diesel truck – Model calculation by the DLR Institute of Vehicle Concepts
The total cost of purchasing and operating electric trucks could fall below that of diesel vehicles as early as 2025. Alongside technological advances, road toll exemptions for e-trucks and the rising price of carbon dioxide are important factors in this cost transition, as shown by a scenario analysis from the DLR Institute of Vehicle Concepts.
