The Use of E-Moped Increases Commute Satisfaction and Subjective Well-Being: Evidence From Shanghai, China

2022

Author(s): Sun S, Yao Y, Xu L, He X, Duan Z

The authors conducted an empirical study on the impact of commuting by e-mopeds, using survey data from eight residential communities in Shanghai. A path analysis model was established to investigate the relationships between commute characteristics (including commute distance, commute time, commute costs, transport mode choice, transport environment), socio-demographics, commute satisfaction, and subjective well-being.

This report, which focuses on ships trading with the European Union, predicts a tripling of demand for LNG as marine fuel between 2019 and 2030, based on trends in fuel consumption. It also estimates that renewable LNG will cost seven times more than fossil LNG in 2030 and, therefore, subsidies or other policies would be needed to encourage its use.

Remote sensing of heavy-duty vehicle emissions in Europe

2022

Author(s): Bakhshmand SK, Mulholland E, Tietge U, Rodríguez F

This study presents a multi-regional remote sensing analysis of 33,600 European trucks and buses to quantify the real-world level of pollutant emissions across different vehicle emission standards. It draws on data recorded from six remote sensing campaigns in Europe conducted between 2017 and 2020, covering a range of ambient temperatures and vehicle driving conditions.
