E-Mobility, Mobility & Public Transport
Fears that electric cars could actually increase carbon emissions are unfounded in almost all parts of the world, new research shows.
Reports have questioned whether electric cars really are ‘greener’ once emissions from production and generating their electricity are taken into account. But a new study by the universities of Exeter, Nijmegen and Cambridge has concluded that electric cars lead to…

Electric vehicles (EVs) are at the heart of developing synergies between the transport and energy sectors. EV integration into the electricity grid offers a particularly compelling solution for energy storage and grid services, enabled by so-called vehicle-to-grid mechanisms and smart charging.
The shift to electric vehicles will also bring about additional employment and environmental benefits…

Smart Mobility in Smart City
Urban transport is responsible for about a quarter of CO2 emissions from transport. Technomar partnered this EU co-funded project on how to make urban transport more environmentally sustainable by wide deployment of Full-Electric Vehicles (FEV). This is the summary report covering interaction between FEV, transport- and energy infrastructure (smart grid). It also includes strategies for trip…
