The transition to a zero-emission car fleet is a pivotal element of Europe's decarbonisation strategy. Italy's participation in this trajectory is significant, given the size of its car fleet. Currently, only battery electric (BEVs) and hydrogen-powered are considered zero-emission vehicles. The...

This article studies the effects of the latest European regulations on carbon emissions on the Italian car market and discusses the possibility of achieving climate neutrality of road transport through the "mere" replacement of cars currently on the road with new zeroemission cars. Since 2016,...

Purpose - This study aims to present an integrated green transport sustainability model (GTSM) to comprehensively understand and explain the multifaceted dynamics of green transport initiatives. The purpose of the study is to evaluate gaps in understanding the interactions between socio-economic...

Personal Carbon Trading (PCT) schemes are considered in the transportation sector to control carbon emission. However, there is limited evidence on the potential and feasibility of PCT schemes as a new transportation demand-focused tool. Therefore, we designed a "Carbon for Electricity" scheme,...

Clean hydrogen is emerging as a key component of the global transition to clean energy, offering a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. It can help boost energy security, improve air quality, and support decarbonization, particularly in industries where emissions are hard to abate, such as...

Background: Despite concerted research efforts, the collection of domestic waste remains poorly understood in terms of financial and environmental cost drivers. Detailed studies of specific systems, yielding limited broader understanding, remain the norm. Methods: This study presents flexible...

This study investigates the possible socio-economic impacts of Hyperloop technology on establishing and reshaping EU trade routes. Hyperloop - a novel ultra-high-speed transportation system - demonstrates the capability to achieve supersonic speeds to move cargo and passengers. Delivering goods...

Many European companies face the challenge of lowering CO2 emissions from their company car fleets. A promising lever is to increase the notoriously low electric usage of Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs). This paper examines whether home charging infrastructure can help achieve these...

The (supposed) regressivity of (primarily price-based) climate protection policy instruments often hampers an evidence-based discussion at the political level and is used as an argument against the implementation of corresponding measures. To assess the distributional implications of...

This article explores how digital platforms facilitate entrepreneurship and enable global mobility for digital nomads, i.e., individuals who work remotely while residing in various locations worldwide. The specific focus is on how these platforms influence digital nomads' decision making related...

Promoting and popularly developing urban transport improves environmental sustainability by reducing traffic congestion and air pollution. In the last decade, bus and metro modes, in addition to being the most in-demand, have been the most utilized to offer a practical and sustainable public...

This study presents a systematic review of the academic literature on electric and hybrid vehicles, their ecosystems, and supporting infrastructure over the period 2008-2024. Using the PRISMA methodology, the research evaluates related studies, exploring trends and developments in charging...

Public urban transportation systems are essential for mitigating climate change, leading policymakers to intensify efforts to boost ridership. However, there is not much evidence showing up to what extent, in regions with high crime rates like Latin America, safety perception could limit these...

This data report describes the first wave of the RWI Climate-Mobility Panel, a recurring household survey that aims in particular to investigate individual mobility behavior and preferences with regard to mobility-related policies. It further includes information on attitudes towards...

Germany has implemented a range of measures to mitigate climate change. The implementation of such measures results in the imposition of financial burdens and restrictions on residents. Consequently, individual attitudes toward the fairness and effectiveness of such measures are a critical...

We implement Pigovian transport pricing in a field experiment in urban agglomerations of Switzerland over the course of 8 weeks. Our pricing considers the external costs from climate damages, health outcomes from pollution, accidents and physical activity, and congestion. It varies across time,...

Die Mobilitaetswende ist ein zentraler Baustein für die Erreichung der Klimaziele in Oesterreich. Der Verkehrssektor verursacht rund 28 Prozent der gesamten Treibhausgasemissionen und verzeichnet im Gegensatz zu anderen Sektoren seit 1990 keinen Rueckgang. Der Ausbau oeffentlicher...

When looking at the key issues along the entire battery value chain, it becomes clear that there are no insurmountable obstacles to the continued widespread market diffusion of battery-electric cars. However, there are still several technical, economic, environmental, regulatory and social...

As climate change accelerates, transport networks face both direct and indirect disruptions, impacting trade, mobility, and economic stability. Extreme weather events damage critical infrastructure, isolating communities and disrupting supply chains, having a significant impact on economic...

This report has been prepared within the 'European Monitor of Industrial Ecosystems' (EMI) project with the objective to analysing the green and digital transformation of industrial ecosystems and progress made over time, in this specific case mobility, transport and automotive. The second...

As part of the Confirmation hearings process, Commissioner-designate Apostolos Tzitzikostas responded in writing to questions posed by Parliament and appeared before the TRAN Committee on 4 November 2024 to answer further questions from MEPs belonging to the committee as well as from the Chair...

Since 2018, the 'EU Maritime MRV Regulation', requires shipping companies to monitor and report their fuel consumption, greenhouse gas emissions and other key parameters for their ships when sailing to/from and between ports of the European Economic Area (EEA). Every year, the European...

EIT Urban Mobility is a knowledge and innovation community established by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) in 2019. The EIT is Europe's largest innovation ecosystem, offering education, innovation and business creation services to solve global challenges. EIT Urban...
