The increasing popularity of online shopping leads to more last-mile deliveries and higher emissions from delivery trucks. Despite small amounts being emitted the tailpipe trucks, there can be a significant amount fine particulate matter that degrades health quality residents aggregated trucks at community level. Addressing environmental impact is needed achieve sustainability goals because air pollution mitigation reduce mortalities. This study employs comprehensive methodology assess benefits their electrification. It uses three-tiered modeling approach, incorporating measurement, exposure level evaluation, assessment. In addition, this paper shows changes in impacts various levels fleet electrification rate using case Dallas County, Texas. results indicate matters are concentrated near or on major roadways transportation facilities. also relationships between socio-economic variables found younger, racial minorities low-income communities exposed due proximity residences truck corridors. To evaluate electrification, 2%, 10%, 30% market shares for 2% share up 1 death per year prevented, while 70 deaths prevented with whole traffic.
