Good to Go? Assessing the Environmental Performance of New Mobility
2020
Author(s): Cazzola P, Crist P
The focus of the study is twofold: First, it assesses if current life cycle assessment methodologies are fit for purpose and able to address full life-cycle impacts of new mobility services, and proposes methodological improvements where they are not. Second, the report analyses the life-cycle performance of a range of new vehicles and services based on their technical characteristics, operation, and maintenance, and compares it with that of privately owned cars and public transport.
Regulations and Standards for Clean Trucks and Buses
2020
Author(s): International Transport Forum (ITF)
This report outlines the current status of technical regulations and standards for heavy low- and zero-emission vehicles (LZEVs). These include in particular fuel cell electric vehicles and plug electric vehicles, i.e. battery electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids
This report investigates one particular scenario, ‘the large-scale deployment of shared vehicle fleets that provide on-demand transport. A different configuration where shared mobility is delivered by a fleet of six-seat vehicles (“Shared Taxis”) that offer on-demand, door-to-door shared rides in conjunction with a fleet of eight-person and 16-person mini-buses (“Taxi-Buses”) that serve pop-up stops on demand and provide transfer-free rides is examined here.
