Matching demand and supply in motorised mobility: A data-driven differentiation of the driving patterns for urban contexts
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This paper deals with future automobiles and their actual compliance with both local and global emissions: the European Parliament's deliberation on the 100% reduction of locally measured CO2 emissions (2.2023), on newly manufactured vehicles by 2035 clearly and plausibly expresses a concept - oriented towards the transport supply - that needs to be completed. The current scenario for climate change requires actions for both mitigation and adaptation. The transportation sector is currently one of the places where mitigation actions can be applied. This is the scope behind the Fit for 55 program led by the European Parliament, which requires the reach of net zero CO2 emissions by 2035. Additionally, many cities have applied for the net zero emission challenge by 2030. All this creates an intricated scenario for the private transportation sector, which should be affordable and flexible for all the transportation needs.A way to reach such goals is the spreading of electrified transportation.There are many limits to a massive spread of BEVs, like energy and resources availability, queuing phenomena at public accessible charging spots, fire-load limitations, serious limits on second hand market, besides actual environmental sustainability: if we look at the carbon emissions footprint on the entire lifecycle of the energy source (namely, Well To Wheel), the neutrality with respect to GHGs is quite challenged.Based on these, we propose the idea to use the proper powertrain solution per driving scenario, in a way that pros and cons of each technological solution can be properly applied.
