“…Both groups appraise what they give for what they obtain (Milenović & Ratković, 2012, p. 34). In the automobile context, safety is the key characteristic of the product (Wurster & Schulze, 2020). The planning strategy represents the process of the improvement and application of an appropriate line of action regarding the direction that an enterprise should unconditionally follow so as to achieve its goal (Stojanović, 2019, p. 191).…”

In the paper, the dealer influence on the automotive market is researched both from the aspect of the offer and from the aspect of the development of the dealer network itself in the provision of vehicle maintenance and repair services and their contribution to the market development. The determination of the dealer influence on the automotive market is a complex process both from the point of view of the dealer offer in Serbia and from the point of view of the state in which the economy, particularly so the car market, is. Numerous factors with an interwoven and multiplied influence act on the automotive market. The subject matter of the research study represents a cross-sectional study of an empirical character. During the collection of the data, the survey non-standardized research technique was used. For this purpose, a special questionnaire was created. The collected data were processed by means of the applicative SPSS system (Statistical Package for Social Sciences), simultaneously applying descriptive and comparative statistics. The research results have shown that the greater the dealer development degree in Serbia, the stronger their influence on the automotive market in Serbia. Also, the following factors have the greatest influence on car manufacturing and sale in Serbia: the development of the dealer network, per-capita income and macroeconomic stability. Simultaneously, vehicle maintenance and repair services substantially influence the purchase of cars. A fact was established that the performance parameters of a vehicle also influenced the buyer's choice of a vehicle.

“…One automotive systems component for EVs that has recently been investigated from the sustainability and sourcing through the value chain angle is tires, with some manufacturers now producing EV-specific ones, due to the often relatively higher weight of EVs compared to the equivalent Internal Combustion Engine (ICE). Given the current oversupply of End-of-Life tires (from ICEs in volume), the potential of CE tires and bio-based tires has been conceptually explored in the context of an acceptance model and labeling/marketing based on that [14].…”

Framing Electric Mobility for Urban Sustainability in a Circular Economy Context: An Overview of the Literature

et al. 2021

The development of electro-mobility is one of the centerpieces of European country attempts to reduce carbon emissions and increase the quality of life in cities. The goals of reducing emissions from the transport sector and phasing out fossil-fueled vehicles in (urban) transport by 2050 present unrivaled opportunities to foster electro-mobility. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the literature and provides a detailed analysis of the current development of electro-mobility in Europe, assessing social, economic, and environmental aspects under a circular economy (CE) context. It also examines the existing challenges and suggests ways of addressing them towards improving the environmental performance of electro-mobility and the urban quality of life. The paper argues that a narrow technology-only agenda in electro-mobility will be less successful without the imperative of the CE, including not just materials and resources but also energy, to unlock the medium-term co-benefits of de-carbonization of both the transport as well as the building and energy sectors. The paper critically reviews some of the anticipated future developments that may guide the growth of this rapidly growing field into a CE.

“…From the perspective of EMF as well as some academic literature (e.g. Camacho-Otero et al, 2017;Wurster and Schulze, 2020), 'consumer acceptance' of, or 'buy in' to, new circular products and services are key (e.g. Hobson and Lynch 2016;Mylan et al, 2016).…”

Environmental Politics

The Circular Economy (CE) is now a key governance framework for a range of institutions including the European Commission, World Economic Forum and Ellen MacArthur Foundation. This framework aims to reconfigure how value is extracted from resources, entailing nothing less than the reformation of economic systems and practices. Despite its potential widespread impacts, CE commentary to date tends towards the descriptive and/or celebratory, although some critical insights have explored the profound challenges of turning CE theory into reality. Here I add to these critical voices, outlining how environmental politics researchers have a great deal to contribute to CE debates. I underscore how current incarnations of the CE are more than a rebrand of 'weak sustainability' frameworks. Rather, they contain mechanisms and assumptions that potentially accelerate resource use. A key part of the problem is how CE proponents frame us all as particular forms of 'user-consumers': accepting or rejecting new business models and optimising gains viafor examplethe Sharing Economy. Such framings fail to account for what is at stake for all of us as part of the CE project: and I conclude by posing several research questions, to encourage more critical environmental politics research on and around issues of CE.
