Abstract
A rising interest in electric and other alternatively fuelled vehicles of the freight transport industry is due to the emission targets and technological advancements. The purpose of this study is to measure the perceptions and opinions of road haulage companies on the use of electric and alternatively fuelled vans and trucks, as a part of urban logistics operations and long-haul transport in Finland. The paper is based on a case study in the form of expert interviews and a survey among road haulage companies. The paper provides valuable, new information to the companies about investing in electric and alternatively fuelled freight vehicles, and to the local authorities in cities about developing urban environment and infrastructure. As a result, this paper introduces benefits, barriers, policy recommendations and factors affecting the competitiveness of these vehicles.
