The flagship project in this area in Poland is the Electromobility Development Program, one of the strategic documents of which is the Act on Electromobility and Alternative Fuels of 11 January 2018, which includes a system of benefits aimed at influencing consumer behaviors towards the choice of electric vehicles. According to the decision-makers, its implementation is expected to result in the achievement of a number of goals, among others, 1 million of such vehicles are forecast to be present at the national level in 2025. The intention of the authors is to analyze the progress in the development of electromobility in Poland, in the areas such as the market of electric cars, charging infrastructure, with an indication of whether the actions that are implemented by the legislator, i.e., guidelines on where and in what quantities charging stations dedicated to such vehicles are to be established, subsidies in the form of the possibility of driving on the lanes designed for buses, subsidies for the purchase of such vehicles intensify the development of electromobility in the country. The considerations were carried out for cars powered exclusively by electricity, i.e., BEV (Battery Electric Vehicle) type, category M1. Cars in this category represent the largest share of the automotive market in Poland—over 75%. The utilitarian value of this research may be supported by the fact that the example of Poland and its problems concerning the discussed issue may be a source of preliminary analysis for other countries of the European Union.
The corrosion influence on hydraulic pipelines safety mounted on product and chemical tankers has been presented in this paper. The issue of axial forces in pipelines mounted along ship open decks, resulting from ship hull deformations in waves, is highlighted. Corrosion degradation phenomena of hydraulic pipelines on open deck is described. The analysis of degradation effect on thickness of carbon steel material of pipes is given and influence of the effect on stress level increase in hydraulic pipelines during exploitation at sea is focused. The discussion about fighting against corrosion in hydraulic pipelines on open decks is performed. All the problems analyzed in the paper are based on examples of events observed on product and chemical tankers built in Szczecinska Shipyard, Szczecin, Poland.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
