The principal objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of freight electrification in the Atlanta - Chattanooga region. We use a set of modeling tools to estimate the effect of electrifying freight vehicles under different penetration rates and vehicle technologies improvement levels for the entire region. An agent-based simulation tool integrating travel demand and network and operations simulations is used to model passenger and truck tours. Trajectory information is then used to obtain speed profiles, and a tool to estimate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and electricity demand are used. The emissions analysis suggests that, despite the fact that the truck fleet has a lower electrification level compared to light-duty vehicles, the proportion of the emission reduction is significant. The electricity demand estimate suggests that passenger vehicles have a significantly higher demand due to higher adoption and a larger fleet.
