“…First, we carry out a simplified cross-impact analysis (CIA) (see [18][19][20]) with the LSP to explore the basic (causal) relationships in the 24-hour delivery service system. Elements of the CIA include the general objectives of the LSP identified in previous studies [20,21] and the supplier-customer relationship or interaction: in our case, the supply and demand of the 24-hour delivery service with battery-electric HDTs.…”

“…In a first step, the CIA was conducted by the LSP, and in a second step, it was discussed and adapted in collaboration with the authors (see [20] for details). By visualizing the relationships derived from the CIA according to [19], we derived several feedback loops, which are an important element of SD [22], and a causal loop diagram (CLD), which represents the model structure. Figure 1 depicts the results of the CIA.…”

Especially in urban areas, a large proportion of air pollution can be attributed to road traffic. Thus, in many countries, bans are being discussed on diesel vehicles in inner cities. These diesel bans pose a severe threat to logistics service providers (LSPs) that are active in city logistics, since their fleets are based on diesel-powered vehicles. One solution for LSPs is to introduce battery-electric heavy-duty trucks (HDTs). However, this is rarely done at present, due to high investment costs of such trucks. In order to compensate these high investments, high mileages are required in order to benefit from such vehicles’ low operating costs. Implementing 24-hour delivery would increase the daily mileage of HDTs. Because of noise emission regulations, 24-hour delivery could only be performed using battery-electric HDTs. In this study, we explore whether using battery-electric HDTs for 24-hour delivery is economical for LSPs. We use data from a German LSP in food logistics, develop a system dynamics model, and integrate a total cost of ownership calculation along with an LSP and a retail store discrete choice model to determine whether 24-hour delivery with battery-electric HDTs is profitable for the LSP, and how it might be accepted and diffused among stores. We find that 24-hour delivery using battery-electric HDTs is immediately profitable. This is due to the almost 50% increase in the daily trip potential of battery-electric HDTs in comparison to diesel HDTs, which leads to a lower required total number of HDTs in the fleet. Lower transportation costs, increased delivery quality, and decreased risk lead to rapid adoption of 24-hour delivery among stores, while lower total costs of ownership (TCO) accelerate the adoption by the LSP. Diffusion through the fleet and stores takes only slightly longer than one HDT lifetime. Consequently, 24-hour delivery with battery-electric HDTs is a promising solution for innovative and sustainable city logistics.

“…The energy strategy provides for an individual approach to the development of power supply systems of the country's regions from the perspective of ensuring energy security. It is based on the volume and structure of demand for primary and transformed energy, estimated using a forecast of the production of the gross regional product (GRP) (Lisin et al, 2018;Kiriyama et al, 2014;Melas et al, 2017;Osorio et al, 2017).…”

The paper discusses the issue of improving the management system of the energy complex sustainable development at the territorial level from the perspective of ensuring energy security. It proposes the management models of the electric power and heat supply territorial systems development that allow taking into account current trends of expanding the use of market mechanisms to manage territorial energy production and to ensure a balance of interests of management subjects at various organizational levels. Based on a multidimensional statistical analysis for selected groups of Russian regions, it gives recommendations on choosing a priority strategy to reduce the energy intensity of the gross regional product.

Our paper tackles the timely and highly-debated issue of assessment of the level of energy security for Russia’s territorial entities. Our analysis is carried out from the perspective of economic and management threats to reliable power supply for consumers caused by the process of integration of energy systems and the expansion of market regulation mechanisms. In particular, we focus on the creation and integration of energy systems using a case study of the remote territorial entity represented by Russia’s Far Eastern region that present a topic of special interest with respect to the subject and the scope of this research. We define and build the methods that might be used for determining the economically justified level of energy security under the market economy conditions based on ensuring a balance of interests between territorial government bodies and territorial generating companies in the process of forming a strategy for the development of a territorial energy system. Our results clearly demonstrate that current electricity tariffs and prices for the end consumers at the remote territorial entities, such as the Russian Far Eastern region, pose a threat to energy security since they are underestimated due to social and political concerns and often lead to unprofitable power generation. We argue that political consideration aside, energy systems creation and integration should be made viable and sustainable not only in Russia, but also in other countries. Our outcomes show that a more reasonable energy tariff policy might be appropriate when relevant stakeholders and policy-makers attempt to create conditions for the advanced development of remote industrial areas.
