They don't necessarily need to be economically feasible if they are enforced by regulations.
If major city centres start enforcing tighter congestion/pollution bans, such that last mile delivery of goods to city centres can only be achieved with zero emission vehicles, then suddenly logistics businesses are forced to integrate EV or hydrogen into their fleets.
I honestly don't think this is that unlikely in many European cities in the next decade.
- codeulike 6y agoTrue, I think there are incentives like that in London
- Someone 6y agoI would even say it’s highly likely. For public transport tenders in the richer parts of Europe, emissions are weighted so heavily that many, if not all, winning bids nowadays are for fully electric buses. Older Diesel cars also are banned from quite a few city centers, but I don’t know whether that extends to large trucks.
