Title: XII.b Domestic freight Costs Content: h1 Costs Summary h2 Technology Costs See also: # Road Freight http://2050-wiki.greenonblack.com/cost_categories/31 # Rail Freight http://2050-wiki.greenonblack.com/cost_categories/33 Technologies costed in this sector: * Road Freight – ICE and Electric * Rail Freight – Diesel and Electric h1 Costs Methodology h2 Methodology Used The user decides which trajectory is used which defines the levels of the technologies. The model applies the levels/quantities of these technologies to the input costs to provide an annual and total cost to 2050. The model covers both capex and opex. For all technologies of CAR, BUS, RAIL and AIR MARKAL and other confidential input assumptions have been used. These are the latest available assumptions with updates from DfT applied. In order to derive a range for the cost figures, 2000 figures are used for the high and 2050 for the low where these differ in MARKAL. MARKAL costs in billion veh kms per annum are converted into vehicles required using MARKAL estimates of average annual kms per technology. Costs then spread over assumed life-time per technology using MARKAL estimates of vehicle life. Each trajectory in the 2050 Calculator indicates distances by technology. These are converted into vehicles required using MARKAL assumption of average annual km by technology and the resultant required vehicles is costed against the per unit cost. h1 Technical Assumptions Vehicle Technical Lifetime: * Rail freight 30yrs * Road freight 7yrs h1 Questions to Stakeholders 1) Are today’s vehicle technology costs accurately reflected? 2) Are any of the technology costs out of date, do you have any new estimates to add? 3) What will technology costs look like in 2050? Assuming for instance: * Moderate climate change policy action, e.g. the transport sector takes on an equal share of effort to deliver the UK’s long-term climate targets; * Ambitious policy action, e.g. if the EU extend and/or tighten vehicle emission standards. 4) The model uses high and low input cost assumptions. What is the evidence that these remain constant, rise or fall over time for the transport sector? h1 Contacts Lead and sign-off 2050 Costs team lead - Daniel Lord and Sophie Hartfield Working-level analyst - Nazmiye Ozkan.
