Abstract: Abstract In this paper we present a method, which is able to compare the use of pure combustion vehicles with hybrid electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles for end customer deliveries. Benchmark instances representing typical delivery areas for small package shipping companies are introduced. For small instance sizes, we are able to generate exact solutions with standard mixed-integer program solver software. In contrast to the exact approach, our heuristic allows us to solve practical instance sizes.
