The overhead catenary truck is an interesting technology for long-haul transportation with heavy-duty trucks because it can combine the advantage of energy supply via catenary while driving and the flexibility of a battery truck on routes without catenary using the traction battery. This study investigates the energy consumptions of overhead catenary trucks on German highways and considers different configurations for the traction battery and catenary power system. Afterwards the life cycle costs of overhead catenary trucks are calculated for a specified long-haul transportation scenario and the results are compared to battery electric truck and diesel truck using the findings of a previous study by the authors. The energy consumption of the considered overhead catenary trucks is approximately equal to that of a battery electric truck but only about a half of the equivalent energy consumption of a conventional diesel truck. According to the cost assumptions in this study, the total life cycle costs of overhead catenary trucks can be in the range of the conventional diesel truck, showing the competitiveness of this alternative truck technology.

The detailed life cycle assessment of heavy-duty truck for highway transport in China is conducted by Centre of National Material Life Cycle Assessment (CNMLCA). The input of energy and output of pollutants emissions are documented as the life cycle inventory (LCI). The life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) results calculated with the CML method show that the hotspot of environmental impacts from transport in China. The environmental benefits from implementations of European emissions standards in China for transport are also analyzed. The analysis shows that the acidification potential (AP) makes the most huge contribution to total environmental impact, up to 33.7%. As the second hotsopt, global warming potential (GWP) takes up 26.83% of total environmental impact. Photochemical oxidant formation potential (POCP) takes up 23.42% of total environmental impact, which is more or less the same comparing with the result of GWP. Eutrophication potential (EP) takes up 15.05% of total environmental impact. The last but not the least environmental impact category - human toxicity potential (HTP), only takes up 0.95% of total environmental impact. If the heavy metal and dioxin emissions are also considered, maybe the results will be changed and the HTP will take more in the whole environmental impact. It can be concluded that if we pay more attention on SO2emissions especially NOx emissions reduction, the acidification and photochemical smog would be relieved a lot and the total environmental impact can be decreased a lot. More punishment on overload may be a good choice to reduce environmental load of heavy truck of highway transport in China.

We present the results of a study in which we examined how different types of heavy-duty mechanical connections can affect total life cycle costs of rolling stock or similar equipment. The three commonly used methods for mechanical connection in the rolling stock industry include: welding, standard – through-hole bolting, and lipped channel, a newer technology. Newer designs of lipped channel connections have high/dynamic load capacities that are not considered possible with common, cold rolled channel products. Hot rolled channel products are capable of withstanding heavy loads typically experienced in welded or bolted joints. Throughout the life of rolling stock equipment, components may need to be replaced or upgraded from a new source, which may require a new mounting pattern or position. We have evaluated the total life cycle costs for the three techniques, when one includes costs for changing the mounting location or size of the bolt pattern. After evaluation of the cost results, we present several examples to show how rolling stock manufactures have used lipped channels to help them lower life cycle cost of their equipment. In addition to yielding flexibility in mounting position, the lipped channel connections facilitate the modularization and customization of products at the lower production levels associated with this industry.
