“…Given this context, EVs could be a game‐changing innovation. EVs are approximately three times more energy efficient than are traditional internal combustion engine‐based vehicles (Margaritis, Anagnostopoulou, Tromaras, & Boile, ). Hence, EV penetration not only improves the quality of air but also reduces the need for oil, effectively serving India's interest of decreasing its excessive importing, thereby benefitting its economy.…”

Hence, EV penetration not only improves the quality of air but also reduces the need for oil, effectively serving India's interest of decreasing its excessive importing, thereby benefitting its economy.Due to sustainable benefits, innumerable efforts have been made to increase the penetration of EVs worldwide, aiming at 100% EV sales.Particularly in India, the government has implemented several schemes toward achieving 100% EV penetration.…”

The electric vehicle (EV) is a crucial innovation with the potential to lower greenhouse gas emissions and help reduce the causes of climate change. Despite their multiple benefits, EVs are selling lower numbers than would be expected, seeming to require more positive intent from their sellers to increase the pace of EV adoption. Hence, this study explores the enablers and inhibitors of EV adoption intention from the sellers' perspective using a dual‐factor model. The extended theory of planned behavior has been used to explore the enablers, whereas the status quo bias theory has been used to explore the inhibitors of EV adoption. The results indicate that attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, environmental concern, and perceived corporate social responsibility obligation have significant positive impacts on intention to adopt EVs. However, regret avoidance, inertia, perceived threat, and perceived value have significant impacts on the resistance to adopt EVs. This study enriches the literature related to intention and resistance to adopt green technology and also provides several suggestions to marketers for increasing the pace of EV adoption.

“…Considerando o uso de energia, constatou-se uma tendência de eletrificação e preocupação das empresas em promover a sustentabilidade socioambiental em suas operações, tendo em vista que a utilização da energia elétrica como fonte de energia para o transporte é pertinente por reduzir consideravelmente as emissões de GEE, sobretudo na emissão de CO2, principal responsável pelo aquecimento global. Os principais benefícios econômicos apontados pela literatura são: urbano de carga...

O advento de novas tecnologias nas entregas de última milha está prestes a causar uma ruptura no modelo tradicional de negócios do transporte urbano de carga. Busca-se obter retornos econômicos, não somente por via da otimização de operações tradicionais, mas também com base no tripé da sustentabilidade. Este trabalho tem como objetivo identificar, por meio de uma revisão bibliográfica sistemática, as alternativas propostas pela literatura no âmbito do veículo de carga como meio para melhorar a eficiência energética, transformando a operação de entregas em uma alternativa sustentável. Os resultados indicam uma tendência para a implementação de veículos menores e mais leves para entregas de última milha em áreas urbanas: 95% dos estudos sugerem, entre alternativas, o uso de bicicletas/triciclos e comerciais leves. Outra tendência observada nesse tipo de distribuição, indicada em 77,3% dos estudos, é a mudança de combustíveis convencionais (combustíveis fósseis) para fontes alternativas de energia (eletricidade).

“…This sector also accounts a big contribution of total greenhouse gas emission. For the most part, this is due to road transport [1,2]. Nowadays, the concept of an alternative propulsion is becoming increasingly important as a consequence of climate change and the increasing global resource crisis.…”

The objective of this work is to analyze and optimize a bus frame structure using Finite Element Method in dynamic conditions. The bus body geometry was obtained directly from the three-dimensional Computer-Aided Design files. The optimization was conducted to determine the minimum weight of the bus frame structure without violating the specified natural frequency constraints. The design variable is the thickness of the bus body frame. In present study, Adaptive Single Objective method was chosen as an optimizer method. The results show that the structural weight of the bus frame can be reduced about 8% without changing its dynamic characteristic.
