The British Low Carbon Vehicle Technology Project (LCVTP) has developed technologies for future plug-in vehicles. Simulation results indicate significantly lower tailpipe CO2 emissions when compared to conventional internal combustion engine technolo...
Electric-vehicles have the potential for a significant substitution of diesel and gasoline vehicles, and contribute to a reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) and particulate matter emissions. According to the European Renewable Energy Directive, the sha...
The UK’s Technology Strategy Board, with central and regional government support, has funded the world’s largest multi-site demonstration trial of ultra-low carbon passenger cars. 349 cars have been deployed, supported by the installation of approxim...
The project “ElectroDrive Salzburg” is a co-financed electric mobility model region of the Climate and Energy Fund in Austria. The project’s purposes are to offer electric mobility for companies as well as individuals through a selection of packages,...
This paper will provide an update and overview of the progress with the North East of England trials in the UK and provide an insight into how early adopters are using their vehicle and importantly their charging behaviour with a large number of char...
For electric cars to replace fuel burners they must have intrinsic advantages beyond those seen today and cost significantly less to operate, but 125 years of evolution has made the ICE car hard to beat. A modular battery electric “ridek” composed of...
In this paper, the market potential for electric vehicles (EVs) in Flanders (Belgium) is forecasted with the use of a choice-based conjoint (CBC) analysis. In May 2011, a large-scale survey was conducted (n = 1.197). The goal of the survey was twofol...
In recent years, a series of incidents have drawn society’s attention to issues of environmental awareness and energy security. As a result, electric vehicles (hereafter, “EV”) are attracting attention around the world. To stimulate their economies,...
This paper analyses the cost competitiveness of different electrified propulsion technologies for the German auto market in 2020. Several types of hybrid electric vehicles including parallel hybrids (with and without external charging) and a serial r...
Electric vehicles are mostly used in the niche market. Compared to the common consumers, commercial uses are more suitable as target markets for electric vehicles at the initial rollout stage. The main obstacles for promoting electric vehicles are hi...
