Proposal for insertion of electric vehicles in the transport of loads from a distribution center

Abstract

This article deals with the sustainable question about electric vehicles in front of the fossil fuels paradigm, as well as possibilities of self-management of its energy matrix. The economic feasibility of changing these vehicles is necessary for the reduction of polluting gases in the atmosphere and considering the challenges that the greenhouse effect imposes, a cultural transition is necessary for a sustainable planet. The methodology used in this research was bibliographic and documentary research, besides data collection of diesel vehicles which belong to the Central of Distribution of goods located in São Gonçalo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. In order for the purchase of large electric vehicles to be viable, it is necessary to adopt fiscal incentives to offset the high cost of acquisition, but these incentives are still insufficient in Brazil.
