ÁJÁngel A. JuanCMCarlos A. MéndezJFJavier Faulín

Key Points

  • This paper aims to explore the challenges and opportunities of integrating electric vehicles into logistics and transportation systems.
  • Reviews challenges related to the introduction of electric vehicles and hydrogen-based vehicles in logistics and transportation.
  • Analyzes environmental and operational issues, including battery capacity and distribution routes.
  • Proposes the use of metaheuristics and simheuristics for solving complex optimization related to vehicle routing.
  • Identifies key challenges in planning and operational aspects of electric vehicles in logistics.
  • Highlights the need for strategic investment in charging infrastructure for electric vehicles.
  • Proposes new variants of the Vehicle Routing Problem influenced by the limited driving range of electric vehicles.

Abstract

Current logistics and transportation (L and (b) strategic, planning and operational issues associated with “standard” EVs and with hydrogen-based EVs. The paper also analyzes how the introduction of EVs in L&T systems generates new variants of the well-known Vehicle Routing Problem, one of the most studied optimization problems in the L&T field, and proposes the use of metaheuristics and simheuristics as the most efficient way to deal with these complex optimization problems.
