Early results from an upcoming working paper on autonomous battery trucks. Key message: in terms of battery competitiveness with diesel for long-haul heavy trucks, autonomy is roughly equivalent to a battery pack price reduction of AUS$50/kWh.

Slow and steady wins the race: how autonomy facilitates long-haul truck electrification
I’m seeking feedback on some early results from a parameterised model looking at the effects of autonomy on the competitiveness and operation of battery-powered heavy-duty long-haul trucks. Represents...

2/7 Current IPCC policy weighs these emissions using their global warming potential over 100 years (GWP100). But some argue for a 20-year period (GWP20), which would roughly triple the methane weight (the price of methane relative to carbon dioxide).
