Potenciál alternativních pohonů v logistice s ohledem na ekologičnost jejich výroby

This thesis evaluates the potential of alternative propulsion systems in logistics with regard to the environmental impact of their production. The aim of the thesis is to assess the environmental, economic, and technological aspects of individual alternative propulsion systems in comparison with modern internal combustion engines. The work combines a lifecycle assessment with an analysis of transport trends in the EU, the USA, and China, and compares the adoption of alternative propulsion systems in these regions within both passenger and freight transport. The SWOT and TOPSIS methods are applied to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the suitability of each technology. The results show that electromobility currently offers the highest potential among alternative solutions in passenger transport. However, in freight transport, there is still not fully competitive alternative capable of effectively replacing modern diesel engines. Although alternative technologies are developing rapidly, their wider deployment in logistics is currently limited primarily by economic constraints.
