Electric mobility gives car designers much more creative freedom with fewer constraints than traditional vehicles, where pretty much everything has already been invented and could lead to revolutionary vehicles that look very different to anything we’ve seen so far. Enrique Dans, Senior Contributor, Leadership Strategy, talks about the transition to electric mobility and its impact on car dealers and their maintenance networks in this blog post.

Everything You Need to Know About the Fastest-Growing Source of Global Emissions: Transport
2019
Author(s): Wang S, Ge M
Decarbonization of the transport sector would create a cleaner, healthier and more affordable future for everyone. And it can be done without sacrificing the interconnectedness we've come to expect from modernity. But what exactly are transport emissions? How are countries already addressing them, and where are the further opportunities for decarbonization? To better understand those questions, WRI uses Climate Watch to take a closer look at the data.

A Time of Unprecedented Change in the Transport System
2019
Author(s): The Government Office for Science (UK)
This report reflects on the history that has shaped transport and mobility in the UK, examines the current trends in the system, and considers different scenarios that will help policy-makers to identify the choices and trade-offs to come – and to grasp the exciting opportunities that exist.
The JRC report “The future of road transport - Implications of automated, connected, low-carbon and shared mobility” looks at some main enablers of the transformation of road transport, such as data governance, infrastructures, communication technologies and cybersecurity, and legislation.
Assessing the Ancillary Service Potential of Electric Vehicles to Support Renewable Energy Integration in Touristic Islands: A Case Study From Balearic Island of Menorca
2020
Author(s): Raveendran V, Alvarez-Bel C, Nair MG
The e-mobility potential determination to support renewable energy grid integration in Menorca, and similar touristic islands, is the focus of this paper. The potential of e-mobility to participate in intermittency flattening ancillary services (AS) to support solar photo-voltaic (PV) grid integration is analysed in this paper.
Development of Ultra-Low-Friction and Zero-Leakage Mechanical Seal for High-Speed e-Mobility Shaft Sealing Applications
2020
Author(s): Tokunaga Y, Nakahara N, Itadani M
By the year 2020, EU legislation limits CO2 emissions for new passenger cars to a maximum of 95 g/km, and further reductions to 68 g/km are expected. An electric motor (e-motor) with high power density often requires shaft cooling in combination with increased rotational speeds to boost efficiency.
