“…Furthermore, the Internet has made up for the lack of environmental governance in the past by improving the intelligence and accuracy of environmental supervision, governance, and services [13]. Low-energy data transmission and the paperless office use of the Internet provide opportunities to reduce environmental pollution caused by traffic [14]. Under the background of increasingly serious air pollution and the flourishing development of digital technologies, the digital economy for sustainable development is of great value for improving environmental quality and achieving sustainable economic development [15].…”

With the rapid development of the digital economy, understanding the relationship between the digital economy and the environment is increasingly important for sustainable development. This study mainly studies the nexus of digital economy development and environmental quality for 217 cities in China from 2003 to 2018. Specifically, this study first evaluates the degree of coupling coordination between the digital economy system and the environmental system. Results show that the coupling coordination degree between the digital economy system and the environmental system shows a fluctuating rise from 2003 to 2018. Furthermore, this study empirically investigates the impact of digital economy development on PM2.5, which represents environmental quality, and results show that digital economy development significantly reduces PM2.5. The above finding is still valid by using the quasi-natural experiment of broadband China for the robustness test. Urbanization, population density, and economic development have caused threshold effects. When the urbanization rate and population density exceed a certain threshold, the digital economy significantly inhibits PM2.5. In contrast, when the per capita GDP exceeds a certain threshold, the digital economy significantly promotes PM2.5. The digital economy mainly affects pollutant emissions through direct and technological effects.

“…From one side, EVs represent the answer of car manufacturers towards international directives that, for decades, have been asking for greener and more sustainable vehicles [34,110,111]. Hence, their reuse, remanufacturing and recycling is considered by many authors as a potential solution to several environmental challenges, like resource scarcity, sustainable economic growth and waste management [112,113].…”

The use of electricity for transportation needs offers the chance to replace fossil fuels with greener energy sources. Potentially, coupling sustainable transports with Renewable Energies (RE) could reduce significantly both Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions and the dependency on oil imports. However, the expected growth rate of Electric Vehicles (EVs) could become also a potential risk for the environment if recycling processes will continue to function in the current way. To this aim, the paper reviews the international literature on obsolete EV management practices, by considering scientific works published from 2000 up to 2019. Results show that the experts have paid great attention to this topic, given both the critical and valuable materials embedded in EVs and their main components (especially traction batteries), by offering interesting potential profits, and identifying the most promising End-of-Life (EoL) strategy for recycling both in technological and environmental terms. However, the economics of EV recycling systems have not yet been well quantified. The intent of this work is to enhance the current literature gaps and to propose future research streams.

“…The study (Liu et al 2019; Kafazi and Bannari 2019; Salahshoor et al 2020; Al Essa 2020) provides a method of increasing battery life based on neural networks. The idea of smart and efficient use of charging stations, described in (Yan et al 2020;Melo et al 2014), has several advantages. The idea behind the study proposes to reduce CO 2 emissions by optimizing the HEVs charging process.…”

The theoretical bases of optimal tracking systems synthesis are considered. The main purpose of such systems is to keep the error between the actual and desired outputs of the system at a low level with minimal energy consumption. This concept is appealing to the fact that the vast majority of control systems solve problems without regard to the expediency of using the internal energy resources of the system itself. The main task of an automated guided vehicle is to move from one point to another. An algorithm for forming the desired trajectory between two points, specified on the map, was developed. With optimal energy consumption, this approach will make a practical contribution to the field of automation, self-driving cars, etc. The concept of optimal, energy-efficient control has been implemented. Several experiments with different regulators have been carried out to verify the concept of the tracking systems and to convince the significant advantage of the optimality among the other systems.
