About This Topic
Mobility is undergoing an extraordinary and exciting period of change. Closely linked to abundant and relatively cheap oil, reciprocating engines especially, are regarded as at least partially, responsible for climate change, and as a consequence, receive much of the blame. However, after the undisputed reign of the internal combustion engines lasting more than a century, many things are changing in the field of mobility.
Not only is climate change driving these changes, but also atmospheric pollution, the depletion of fossil fuels, the emergence of new modes of mobility, among others. Other, not necessarily new, propulsion systems may occupy the place of reciprocating combustion engines, and new clean fuels (e-fuels, hydrogen, electricity) will be needed.
However, there is increasing concern about the environmental impact of the mining activities required to provide the chemical elements necessary for batteries or the latest generation electric motors or the consequences of the production of vast quantities of biofuels and renewable electricity in order to satisfy the increasing demands of society.

Co-development of Low-speed Electric Community Buses for Local Area RevitalizationAbstract This paper describes the development of low-speed electric community buses (LSECBs) designed by the author's group and their spread situation in Japan. LSECBs are electric vehicles that can travel on public roads at speeds of less than 5.56 m/s (20 km/h [...] |
Comparing Environmental Impacts Arising from the Use of Electric Two-Wheeler vis-a-vis Gasoline Two-Wheeler in Indiaby
![]() ![]() Abstract Electric vehicles are becoming popular among consumers while BS-VI norms have been introduced and mandated for conventional vehicles in India. In the present study, the environmental impacts from the use phase of electric two-wheeler (EV) and gasoline two-wheeler (GV) have been evaluated and compared using the life cycle assessment [...] |
From Food to Foot: The Energy and Carbon Flows of the Human Body at Walking and CyclingAbstract The carbon footprint of motorized transport modes per unit length traveled encompasses the unit share of the vehicle lifetime emissions, that of the transport infrastructure, and those of the motor energy, considered both from “well to tank” and from “tank to wheel”. In the active modes of transport, i.e., walking and cycling, the [...] |
