While the Municipality of Amsterdam wants to expand the electric vehicle public charging infrastructure to reach carbon-neutral objectives, the Distribution System Operator cannot allow new charging stations where low-voltage transformers are reaching their maximum capacity. To solve this situation, …

Decarbonisation of urban logistics is a pressing issue. About one third of the freight-related CO2 emissions in the Netherlands relates to urban logistics, consisting of both vans and trucks. Although electrification is a feasible solution, delivery models that not only focus on reducing the carbon footprint, …

A replacement of cars with conventional internal combustion engines (ICEs) by electric vehicles (EVs) is seen by many as a means to improve local air quality, reduce dependence on fossil fuels and CO2 emissions. The market for EV is slowly developing with a growing number of (subsidized) manufacturers …

The adoption of electric autonomous vehicles (EAVs) is set to revolutionize airport ground operations. Airports are increasingly developing new autonomous innovation strategies to meet sustainability goals and address future challenges, such as shifting labor markets, evolving working conditions, and …

The paper aims to identify customers' preferences toward last-mile delivery in e-commerce in Poland and Brazil and diagnoses the drivers and barriers to implement solutions for sustainable last-mile delivery. In order to achieve this aim, a survey was conducted among e-customers in Poland and Brazil, …

This research examines the impact of transitioning to an autonomous operation on the airside of Schiphol airport, with a specific focus on emissions that affect both the environment and the staff working within airport premises. This study will explore current emissions from vehicles on Schiphol's airside, …

Charging infrastructure deployment has taken off in many cities with the rise of the number of electric vehicles on the road. Expansion of infrastructure is a matter of prioritisation of resources to optimise the infrastructure. This paper explores how to measure charging station performance, to address …

The developments in city logistics are leading to an increasing number of smaller, time-sensitive deliveries. The parcel market has consistently grown over the past decade, with emerging business models such as ship-from-store (both B2C and B2B) and quick commerce. Moreover, companies are increasingly …

The ever-increasing electrification of society has been a cause of utility grid issues in many regions around the world. With the increased adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) in the Netherlands, many new charge points (CPs) are required. A common installation practice of CPs is to group multiple CPs …

Automation of transport has several potential advantages, such as an increase in road capacity, in road safety and in driving comfort. In addition, automation offers a significant solution to the growing challenge of the driver shortage. In this report, we examine the impact of using autonomous vehicles …
