- Purpose: In logistics systems, the implementation of heavy-duty battery electric vehicles (HBEVs) challenges actors in the transport system, and there is a need for actors to coordinate in various ways. The purpose is to explore how coordination between LSPs and relevant actors in electrified logistics systems can facilitate the adoption of HBEVs.Design/methodology/approach: The study takes a qualitative approach and relies on four interviews with three LSPs as the empirical basis. Theoretically, coordination mechanisms provide a starting-point for the analysis. Findings: The findings highlight coordination mechanisms at play in the on-going electrification of logistics systems, as well as the potential use of coordination mechanisms not yet utilised.Research limitations/implications: The study is performed in a Swedish setting and explore relevant actors and the connections between actors through a coordination lens, thus bridging a gap in the literature.Practical implications: The results can help actors, such as logistics companies and transport buying companies, to understand how, and with whom, to coordinate to implement long-haul HBEVs.Social implications: HBEVs are expected to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases and gives possibility to charge with renewable sources, hence the need to support the implementation.Original/value: While much research into electrification focuses on quantitative studies with a mathematical approach, this paper takes a much-needed actor perspective and highlights how actors can coordinate to carry out a successful transition to fossil free transportation.
