Sammanfattning
While facing continuously stricter legislation due to the threat of global warming,
vehicle manufacturers strive to find alternative means of transportation such as the
Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV). While doing so, uncertainties regarding performance
are halting the shift to more sustainable alternatives.
This thesis will therefore build a framework for retailers to predict and estimate to
which degree a BEV can replace a fossil-driven vehicle in specific missions. The
framework will try to describe the details of transport missions while remaining
relatively computationally light. This framework developed within the COVER project
is called Operating Cycle (OC). It is a description of a road transport mission with an
adequate level of detail that captures the physical and practical phenomenon of a
transport mission. It can be divided into two sub-descriptions, the deterministic
Operating Cycle (dOC) and stochastic Operating Cycle (sOC), which are the
representations adopted in this thesis. Using vehicle log data from a specific Internal
Combustion Engine Vehicle (ICEV), the OC format is extended to include models for
Payload, Mission stop and EV-Recharging. Using the models of the OC format, a
feasibility analysis of replacing a specific vehicle with a BEV is conducted. The
resulting analysis shows that the current BEV fleet is not able to complete all the
missions that the ICEV completed without alteration of specific transport missions.
