Achieving net zero by 2050 requires the decarbonisation of road transport. Electrification is recognised as a market-ready solution for certain transport segments, but it still poses a considerable challenge when applied to road freight. Any consensus on the technology choice for road freight electrification has still not been established. Embedding stakeholder input in the approach to address the technology adoption challenge has proven useful in uncovering various perspectives, which can provide useful insights into managing such transitions. This review paper hence took a three-step approach where the findings from the initial step of the literature search were taken up for the second step of stakeholder validation and feedback. The third step involved an analysis of the input gathered and the subsequent literature review to arrive at the conclusions. The outcome from the stakeholder engagement suggests that any specific technology can only support the transition to electrified road freight if enabled by system changes around policy, infrastructure, user behaviour, and the societal setup A follow-up literature review validated the need for a sociotechnical approach to such transitions where system changes are involved. The review also found gaps in the literature when it comes to embedding such sociotechnical approaches to technology adoption for road freight transport.

In the wake of burgeoning energy crisis and global warming, study and promotion of renewable energy sources is the need of hour. Therefore optimizing the renewable energy system performance is must to make it economically viable in comparison to other conventional source of energy. This paper mainly discusses about the role of robust and optimal control aspect for the optimization of non-conventional energy system. Here sun tracking system and hybrid electrical vehicle (HEV) have been taken as renewable energy system whose optimization is done with the help of robust and optimal control mechanism. It is shown that by employing robust and optimal control mechanism, efficiency of renewable energy system may be greatly improved.
