The need for more sustainable mobility and the uncertainty of petroleum availability and cost have forced the automotive industry to consider alternative technologies for powering vehicles. Vehicle electrification has proved to be a viable alternative to internal combustion engines (ICEs), but the significant ownership costs of electric vehicles have limited the market's ability to abandon traditional powertrains, especially in heavy-duty transportation. However, stringent limits on vehicle emissions have made truck manufacturers and consumers wonder if it is time to switch. In this paper, we attempt to answer this question based on data from a real case scenario in Italy, comparing a diesel with an equivalent electric long-haul truck based on consumption and the environmental impact.
