Smart mobility systems and services and transport electrification have the potential to contribute to transport decarbonisation. Policy and innovation efforts have to focus on integrated transport strategies as part of wider smart and sustainable city strategies. They should take into consideration
Mobility is one of the main pillars of modern society. The possibility, for people and goods, to quickly reach almost any place in the world has fuelled globalisation and unprecedented economic growth in the 20th century. Yet transport has had wider effects beyond providing seamless and effective
The European Commission has recently launched the process of developing stricter emissions standards (post-Euro 6/VI) for all petrol and diesel cars, vans, lorries and buses. To ensure vehicles on European roads are clean over their lifetime, the proposed rules will consider new vehicle technologies
This report presents the activities of the JRC on tailpipe emissions compliance assessment of light-duty vehicles conducted throughout 2018. Criteria pollutant and CO2 emissions of 19 vehicles were measured in the laboratory and on the road in a wide range of driving conditions. Distance-specific
The EC Joint Reserach Centre has produced a technical report on the potential of Remote Sensing Devices (RSDs) to screen vehicle emissions summarizes the findings of a one-week measurement campaign performed in July 2017.
Two remote sensing devices from the companies HEAT and OPUS were installed on
This study analyses electric vehicle deployment in Europe from 2010 to 2017. Since 2010, the number of models offered, the size segment coverage, the number of registrations, the electric vehicle market share and available recharging infrastructures have increased significantly, albeit still small
This document describes existing standards and standards under development relevant to electric vehicle battery performance, degradation and lifetime. It identifies measuring and testing methods to be used in the compliance assessment of electric vehicle batteries in order to meet Ecodesign
1,200 car drivers in six European countries were asked about their vehicle choices. This study aimed at tracking the evolution of the attitude of car drivers towards electro-mobility. One key result: The purchase price continues to represent the major hurdle to widespread adoption of zero tailpipe
