The development of innovative vehicles such as electric driven cars is an important potential option for improving the sustainability transport sector. A significant penetration in market possible only if their use compatible with mobility patterns individuals. For instance, distance should be batteries range or parking enable re-charging. JRC-IET together TRT and IPSOS analyzed car derived from direct surveys six European Union Member States (France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain United...

The transportation sector plays an important role in the current effort towards control of global warming. Against this backdrop, electrification is currently attracting attention as life cycle environmental performance different powertrain technologies critically assessed. In study, a analysis public buses was performed. scope to compare energy and warming performances city fleet: diesel, full electric hydrogen buses. Real world monitored data were used for consumptions produce Bolzano....

Electric-drive vehicles (EVs) are a promising technology for containing environmental problems of the transport sector. However, to be effective on environment, these need purchased by consumers in large quantities. Not only material barriers, but also cognitive biases prevent their diffusion. Particularly, EVs fail capture significant passenger car market share, even regions that can overcome most barriers. We report findings from an online survey experiment administered respondents region...

CO2 emissions from road transport have risen significantly in the past and projections show that they will continue to rise future if no adequate policy measures are implemented. Several European initiatives aim at reducing passenger vehicles. A potential option reduce vehicle is deployment of electric vehicles (EV). Consumer perception willingness purchase these new technologies lies heart its successful large scale diffusion. This report aims describing analyzing how car drivers six...

Electrification of the transportation sector is one main drivers in decarbonization energy and mobility systems it a way to ensure security supply. Public bus fleets can assist achieving fast reduction CO2 emissions. This article provides an analysis unique real-world dataset support decision-makers public interlink with social acceptance drivers. Data was collected from 21 fuel cell electric buses. The tank-to-wheel efficiency results buses (FCEB) are much lower than that battery (BEB),...

This study is aimed at building a database of load profiles for electric-drive vehicles (EDVs) based on car use in six European countries (Germany, Spain, France, Italy, Poland, and the United Kingdom). Driving were collected by means sample travel surveys carried out countries. Here, we present resulting obtained associating assumptions technical features EDVs behavioural elements. The document provides details methodology used driving estimations, discusses results common scenario presents...

Public bus decarbonization is increasingly important to address the global issue of climate change. There are several challenges associated with large-scale introduction zero-emission technologies in public fleets. This especially case an extra-urban context, mountain regions challenging weather conditions. In this work analysis state-of-the-art ZEBs, local lines, and timetables was performed understand best fit technology—battery electric buses (BEBs) or fuel cell (FCEBs)—for each line such...

The transition to sustainable waterways transport is imperative in the face of environmental and climate challenges. Local lakes, often overlooked, play a significant role regional transportation networks ecosystems. This study focuses on Orta lake, Italy, aims facilitate its inland by substituting diesel-based fleet with electric vessels. Firstly, comprehensive market analysis was conducted understand available vessel models their technical characteristics. included parameters such as...

Electric vehicles (EVs) are low-carbon innovations that decrease emissions in transportation. Understanding what drives individual propensity to choose EVs supports policymakers shaping effective mobility policies. Within the MOBSTER Interreg project, data were collected using a survey administered residents three Alpine cross-border regions—Canton Ticino (Switzerland), South Tyrol (Italy), and Verbano-Cusio-Ossola (Italy)—and analyzed with logistic regression. This study reports on relevant...

The European Union has seen a strong growth of electric passenger vehicles over the last decade. steady increase in number requires thorough examination current infrastructure and their future development, which are critical to continuous market this technology. underdeveloped charging is identified as one main barriers, next purchase price vehicles. Thus, (supply side) (demand must coevolve consider not only quantitative balance between EVs stations but interlinkages with social, technical,...

This work outlines the methodology used to analyse economic, social, environmental and technical sustainability of an urban distribution centre (UDC) manage last mile deliveries directed towards historic a city by using only electric vehicles. Achieving this goal requires design novel business model, based on evidence found in cases real applications. Final aim research is part need determine tools that can be replicated measure compare impacts initiatives undertaken different contexts. An...

Background: Urban mobility management faces growing challenges that require the analysis and optimization of sustainable solutions. Digital twins (DTs) have emerged as innovative tools for this assessment, but their implementation requires standardized procedures languages; Methods: As part a broader methodology continuous DT validation, study focuses on conceptual validation phase, presenting conceptualization approach through formalization using Specification Description Language (SDL),...

As electric vehicle adoption grows, understanding the impact of charging on electricity grids becomes increasingly important. Accurate grid modelling requires high-quality infrastructure data. This study examined recharging and usage patterns in a region Italian Alps over three-year period from 2021 to 2023. The primary objectives were analyze growth distribution stations, assess energy consumption, evaluate behaviours across various points. research involved collecting empirical data...
