Finding sustainable and adaptive urban transportation solutions has the ability to shape the quality of life in cities. However, one major challenge involves reducing motorised private transportation in urban areas, which is largely responsible for noise and air pollution as well as increasingly long waiting times in congestion.

The work is about energy demand assessment for long term operation of vehicles in everyday conditions, with mileage measured in thousands of kilometers over a period of several years. The work concern mainly battery electric vehicles (BEVs).

This report looked into the definition of urban freight and the types of vehicles that are deployed for the purpose.

This study looks into the case cities – Delhi, Bengaluru and Surat, and sub-sectors in the urban freight sectors. The sub-sectors studied in this report are (i) delivery of posts and parcels by India Post in Bengaluru, (ii) organized service providers undertaking fleet level operations in Bengaluru, (iii) transport service providers for the textile industry in Surat, (iv) management and movement of solid waste in Surat, and (v) distribution of fruits and vegetables originating from the Azadpur and Okhla wholesale markets in Delhi.

Catering to the growing demand for urban mobility and emphasis on reducing air pollution in towns and cities are mutually conflicting objectives. One solution is a paradigm shift of the transportation policies from personal vehicles to public transportation system using electric buses.

As a new transportation option for towns, e-scooters are controversially debated.  The rapid development of the e-scooter shared-use industry has raised concerns in many cities around the world about environmental sustainability and public benefits.

This paper presents a model to predict the market penetration of autonomous cars for passenger transportation, focussing on autonomous taxis without a steering wheel. For this, a discrete system dynamics model was created and evaluated where the input parameters have been taken from the literature and a survey.

The authors take a brief look at the present status of India's climate commitments, the implications of these recovery packages in the post COVID-19 crises, and the road ahead for clean and green development. COVID 19 has created roadblocks with short term and long-term implications for the Indian economy, society and the world at large.

In this paper, the methodology of achieving this at low costs and the available technologies in the field of e-mobility production are described. The focus of this research lies in high adaptive and cognitive aspects in the assembly along with qualitative aspects.

A holistic approach regarding the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) of the sector of AFVs in Poland, with particular regard to passenger electric vehicles (EVs), has been proposed to explore and evaluate the current state and to propose some future actions lines towards sustainable development in transportation.
