| Abstract: | Van Schoot Pompcentrum BV (VSP) is a company that handles all types of services related to clothes. These services are for example embroidery, tailoring, cleaning, and printing of clothes. The logistic service of delivery and pick up of the clothes within a couple of days is the main component of their success. VSP is facing a problem related to this logistic service from 2025 onward. The problem is that from 2025 diesel vehicles are not allowed in many city centers anymore. This forces them to use Electric Vehicles (EVs) from that moment. Another regulation that is changing for business-related vehicle leasing, is that from 2025 all business lease vehicles need to be electric vehicles. VSP wants to get more insight into its logistic routing and optimize the current situation. Therefore, the goal of this research is to gain insight into the current performance of vehicle routing at VSP to be able to create new routes for the introduction of EVs. By doing this VSP is expanding its knowledge of its current performance and next to that, it will then also be able to handle the new regulations that are coming in 2025, while also pursuing sustainability goals. The main research question in this research is the following: How can VSP introduce electric vehicles to their routing logistics, while also improving the existing routes simultaneously? |
