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...

The Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) region has historically been an important route for global trade - connecting Asia to Europe (and vice versa) and beyond through the ancient Silk Road before the evolution of maritime trade and commerce in the 1500s. The Asian Development...

In order to sustainably manage environmental issues that involve the use of transportation networks predominantly for tourism purposes, it is necessary to foster responsibility among all involved stakeholders. Among these, young adults from Generation Z are particularly relevant, as they are...

Sustainable development is a core concept in regional development. Sustainability is characterized by supporting the building of resilient infrastructure and promoting the sustainable industry. In this context, sustainable transport is particularly important as it represents an opportunity for...

Purpose - to determine whether changes in sustainable transport influence the difference in the number of road accidents. Research methodology - synthesis and comparative scientific analysis of concepts and methods published in the literature, secondary data analysis, statistical processing,...

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,...

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,...

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...

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...

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 Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) region has historically been an important route for global trade - connecting Asia to Europe (and vice versa) and beyond through the ancient Silk Road before the evolution of maritime trade and commerce in the 1500s. The Asian Development...

We examine the EU car labelling regime for CO2 emissions and fuel efficiency under Directive 1999/94/EC and document strongly diverging national labelling methodologies. Our contribution is fourfold. First, we distil the most relevant economic and behavioural research findings on car labelling....

The deployment of alternatively fueled (AF) vehicles constitutes an important measure in meeting the European Union's (EU's) climate goals. The study aims to characterize and evaluate, in a comparative manner, the current stage of the adoption of AF passenger cars into the general (M1) passenger...

Cities around the globe face major last mile delivery (LMD) challenges as a result of surging online commerce activity, increased parcel delivery demands, lack of parking capacity, and severe traffic congestion particularly in inner city areas. Although a number of innovative solutions and...

We consider a car-sharing problem in a company during business hours. The employees, located at one or several offices, have to travel to one or more appointments each with a fixed location and fixed start and end times and return to one of the offices afterwards. Each employee trip can be...

This evaluation report is part of the interim evaluation of Horizon Europe activities related to the Green Transition. It presents the assessment of the Co-programmed European Partnership "Towards zero emission road transport" (2Zero) against the evaluation criteria of relevance, coherence,...

As a follow-up of the Diesel gate scandal in 2015, EU legislation has been strengthened with the aim of reinforcing the testing procedures, and reducing the risk of presence of so-called defeat device. The updated Regulation (EU) 2018/858 define the obligation of the car manufacturers to provide...
