The transition to a zero-emission vehicle fleet represents a pivotal element of Europe’s decarbonization strategy, with Italy’s participation being particularly significant given the size of its automotive market. This study investigates the potential for battery electric cars (BEVs) to...

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,...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

The SHARED GREEN DEAL project provides Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) tools at the local and regional level, in support of the European Green Deal. Through these tools, the project stimulates behavioural, social and cultural change towards shared action in implementing the EU Green Deal...

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...

Energy-related carbon emissions from the transportation sector are one of the major obstacles to achieving global carbon reduction targets. Current research on transportation energy mainly focuses on the energy end-use stage, with a lack of simulations covering both the front-end and end-use...

Background: Thailand is actively transitioning toward electric vehicle adoption as part of its commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This study investigates the economic feasibility of replacing diesel buses with electric buses in Thailand's public transportation sector. Methods: The...

This guidance has a focus on tourist mobility, but also takes the needs of locals into account. It is addressed to tourism organisations, mobility operators and managing authorities in rural Europe- and regions that are interested in the topic of sustainable mobility in tourism (environmental,...

This final report was prepared within the framework of the European Commission request MOVE/2022/OP/0008 - Sustainable rural mobility for resilience in support of ecotourism. The European Commission Communication on a Long-term vision for the EU's rural areas outlines strategies to unlock rural...

Emission inventories play a crucial role in identifying the primary sources of atmospheric pollution. In urban environments, including Addis Ababa, elevated concentrations of vehicle emissions pose significant environmental risks. Consequently, measuring vehicle emissions becomes imperative for...

Im Zuge der Enquetekommission "Klimaschutzstrategie für das Land Bremen" hat sich das Land Bremen ambitionierte Ziele zur Erreichung der vollständigen Klimaneutralität bis zum Jahr 2038 gesetzt. Der Mobi- litätssektor und das Mobilitätsverhalten der Bevölkerung sind dort zentrale...

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...

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...

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...

Regulation (EU) 2024/1257 on type-approval of motor vehicles and engines and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles, with respect to their emissions and battery durability, also called Euro 7, will be applicable by the end of May 2028 for new heavy-duty...

The US-China direct flights in mid-2023 were only 7 percent of those available in mid-2019. This quasi-experiment informs the debate on air transport de-carbonization. An estimated structural model shows that re-establishing the pre-pandemic direct connectivity could increase passengers by 387...
