Overview

My doctoral research investigates the adoption and diffusion of clean-energy vehicles (CEVs)—including battery electric vehicles (EVs), hydrogen vehicles, and alternative fuel-powered vehicles (AFVs)—within the road freight transport sector, with a particular focus on the comparative dynamics between the UK and China.

Research Focus:

The global road freight sector is under increasing pressure to decarbonise. My research addresses a core challenge: how logistics service providers (LSPs), vehicle manufacturers, energy infrastructure firms, and policymakers interact to shape the uptake of CEV technologies across different freight contexts (urban distribution, regional, and long-haul operations).
