Electric vehicles in logistics and transportation: A survey on emerging environmental, strategic, and operational challenges

Current logistics and transportation (L&T) systems include heterogeneous fleets consisting of common internal combustion engine vehicles as well as other types of vehicles using 'green' technologies, e.g., plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and electric vehicles (EVs). However, the incor...
