In light of the Paris Agreement, road-freight represents a critically difficult-to-abate sector. order to meet ambitious European transport sector emissions reduction targets, rapid transition zero-carbon is necessary. However, limited policy assessments indicate where and how appropriately intervene in this To support policy-makers accelerating transition, paper examines relative cost competitiveness between commercial vehicles varying alternative drive-technologies through total ownership...
Abstract With rapidly decreasing purchase prices of electric vehicles, charging costs are becoming ever more important for the diffusion vehicles as required to decarbonize transport. However, in Europe largely unknown. Here we develop a systematic classification options, gather extensive market data on equipment cost, and employ levelized cost approach model 30 European countries (European Union 27, Great Britain, Norway, Switzerland) 13 different options private passenger The findings...
<title>Abstract</title> Decarbonizing road transport is crucial for global climate goals, especially in developing countries with rising motorization. This study assesses the economic cost and lifecycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of low-carbon passenger Africa. Using Monte Carlo optimization models, we compare total ownership GHG battery-electric vehicles (BEV) powered by solar off-grid (SOG) systems synthetic fuel-fueled to that fossil-fueled ones, neglecting policy-induced distortions...
To address global sustainability challenges, (public) policy interventions are needed to induce or accelerate technological change. While most occur on the local level, their innovation effects can spill over other jurisdictions, potentially having impact. These spillovers increase reduce incentive for interventions. Lacking date computational models that capture these spillover dynamics. Here, we devise a conceptual and methodological approach quantify ex ante of demand-side competition...
Free-flying robots have the potential to autonomously fulfill a wide range of tasks involving manipulation objects in space. In this paper we study design wrist mechanism for free-flying that are equipped with an adhesive gripper attaching and surfaces. The allow apply moments addition forces, which increases their versatility object manipulation. We grasp optimization establish limitations on forces/moments can impart, subject adhesion capabilities. Building these results, present...
