Electrification offers a great potential for commercial vehicles to significantly reduce energy consumption as well as CO2 and pollutant emissions during operation. The project eLift demonstrates the potential of the electrification of a special-purpose vehicle. A conventional diesel catering truck with hydraulic auxiliary lifting unit is to be replaced by a more efficient electrically driven truck. In this work, the potential for electrification of the catering truck is investigated and evaluated. According to the requirements of the system, alternative electrical components are selected which have a direct influence on the efficiency of electric vehicles. Subsequently, two different variants are created with different component combinations, the driving motor, the motor for the lifting system and the accumulator. The selected components are then inserted into an existing simulation model with the respective parameters. As a result, the total energy consumption is obtained for the system's typical tasks with respect to specific user application profiles. The results of both considered variants are compared with each another and evaluated against to the conventional diesel truck.
