The Stuttgart region in Southwest Germany is traditionally perceived as the home base of the (German) car industry. This paper examines the locus of agency in such a 'transition arena'.

The aim of this paper is to provide insight into how people assess different charging options in the context of electric mobility and how charging can be integrated into daily activities.

 In this paper, the authors consider the problem of placing as few loading stations as possible so that on any shortest path there are sufficiently many not to run out of energy. The authors show how to model this problem and introduce heuristics which provide close-to-optimal solutions even in large road networks. 

In this paper, to identify and to get insights about female early adopters of carsharing and e-carsharing, a sample of 492 carsharing subscribers from Berlin is analysed according to socio-demographic backgrounds, mode choice, use and evaluation of (e-) carsharing services.

The main aim of this study was to identify user criteria for the allocation of fast-charging stations. The paper identifies not only which locations of fast-charging stations in a city are preferred but also reveals how users evaluate them.

Charging cost of electric vehicles depends on the selection of the charging strategy when operating in a spatio-temporal electricity pricing market.

Battery operated electric vehicles offer the opportunity to manage zero-emission car traffic at low operational costs. In this paper, a battery operated electric taxicab fleet is simulated in a small city scenario using the agent-based transport simulation MATSim.

Manufacturing companies are continuously facing the challenge of operating their manufacturing processes and systems in order to deliver the required production rates of high quality products of in...

Most of the political revelations are speaking of the e-mobility as the cleanest and final solution on the way of vehicles technology improvements. On the other hand, too little attention is paid for the gas propulsion, however, it's technology is proved, the environmental benefits can be as much as at the e-mobility, but requires far less investment. Compared to the e-mobility, the gas fuelling is a viable solution of today.

Electric mobility comprises a variety of transportation systems, notably the combination of public transport and electrically powered vehicles. It serves as an inherent part of future urban integrated mobility concepts.
