“…These conclusions correspond directly with the results of our research, since the availability of charging infrastructure was one of the main factors influencing the purchase of electric vehicles. This was also confirmed by Osiecko K. et al [81], who pointed out that one of the criteria used to assess the degree of development of electric freight transport in the European Union is the number of charging stations in individual countries. Moreover, the researchers acknowledge that there is a need to expand the infrastructure and plan it in such a way that will allow free transport of goods not only between EU member states.…”

Negative processes occurring in the natural environment, under dynamic economy development, have become a factor for taking actions limiting destructive human activity. An important area in which initiatives are taken to improve the state of the natural environment is that of companies in the Transport-Shipping-Logistics Sector (TSL sector). The main objective of this article was to analyse the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the development of electromobility among companies in the Polish TSL sector, and identify factors that positively influenced or hindered its development during this time. For this purpose, qualitative and quantitative data analyses were carried out based on a literature review, statistical data, and direct research results. Descriptive statistics, chi-square test of concordance, and contingency coefficients were used to process the data. The results showed that the pandemic period did not affect the development of electromobility among TSL companies. Only a few companies own electric cars in Poland. Many of them did not plan to purchase this type of vehicle during the pandemic. The main factors influencing the decisions of entrepreneurs during the study period were the availability of charging infrastructure and electricity price uncertainty. The results of the study can be used by stakeholders of this sector in Poland.

“…As an example, EV registrations increased in major markets in 2020, notwithstanding the COVID-19 pandemic [15]. Drivers and strategies for the expansion of EV are investigated, e.g., by Wesseling et al [16], by Gnamm et al [17] for plug-in vehicles (PEVs), and by Osiecko et al [18] in the European Union. A historical outline and a quantitative assessment of passenger EVs compared to other technologies are presented, e.g., by Gelmanova et al [19].…”

Forecast of the Demand for Electric Mobility for Rome–Fiumicino International Airport

et al. 2021

Following electrification of automotive transport, studies on the penetration of electric vehicles (EVs) are widespread, especially in defined contexts. As major transport hubs, airports fall within contexts worthy of interest. In this work, a forecast of the demand for electric mobility in an Italian international airport (Rome–Fiumicino) is presented. The main goal of the research is to build up a methodology that allows evaluating the penetration index of EVs that will access the airport parks in 2025 and 2030, to be able to have a preliminary assessment of the number of charging points necessary for serving them. In the paper, first, a wide review of proposed scenarios on the penetration of EVs at international and national level and available data on local automotive transport are presented, as a preliminary study for the definition of reference scenarios for the local context. Then, the proposed methodology is presented and applied to the specific case study. Finally, a preliminary sizing of the required charging infrastructure is reported. The results show that a significant impact on the airport electricity network can be foreseen, and it requires proper planning of adaptation/upgrading actions. The proposed approach can be considered as a reference for similar studies on electrical mobility in other airport areas around the world.

“…The results obtained should also be considered in the view of the electrification process that is taking place in Europe. In particular, recent researches [67] report that on an overall number of 199,825 charging stations in the European Union, approximately 25% are located in the Netherlands, 20% in Germany, 15% in France, and 14% in Great Britain. The remaining 25% is distributed among all the other countries that are in the early stages of the electrification process.…”

In the last decade, logistic systems based on small aerial vehicles (drones) have become attractive for urban delivery operations as a sustainable alternative to ground vehicles because they are not affected by the congestion of the road network, thus allowing for faster and more reliable services. Aerial logistic systems, however, require a substantially different approach to operations management and need specifically designed supportive infrastructures. While the research on urban aerial delivery mostly focuses on the optimization vehicle operations, the appropriate design of supportive infrastructures is seldom considered. This paper focuses on the energy efficiency of aerial logistic systems, and proposes a new original methodology to obtain a realistic estimate of the overall energy consumed by a swarm of drones employed for urban delivery, taking into account the extension of the area served and its specific features. The methodology proposed offers relevant information for the decision problems related to the appropriate sizing of the infrastructures, the dimensioning of the swarm of drones and the capacity of the energy storage system. The paper also reports a comparison with ground vehicles in the same scenarios, showing the relevant tradeoffs. The results obtained demonstrate how an appropriate design of the supportive infrastructures for urban aerial logistics may significantly impact the overall efficiency of the delivery system.
