Sweden has one of the highest shares of electric vehicles (EV) in the world, and 45% of the EV fleet operates under leasing agreements. In 2018, the Swedish government introduced a bonus for low emission cars and a taxation on fossil-fuelled vehicles. The bonus was however eliminated in November 2022, effective immediately. We show that this led to a significant decline in private leasing of EVs while other market segments remained stable. Private leasing played a key role in expanding the stock of lightweight EVs and dominated new EV registrations among low-income households, which declined following the bonus withdrawal. We also show that the subsidy removal led to a significant increase in EV-leasing prices, making EVs the most expensive option across price segments.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23277,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Part D-transport and Environment","volume":"151 ","pages":"Article 105126"},"PeriodicalIF":7.7,"publicationDate":"2026-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145600565","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examines the potential for increased cycling in Cork City and its region using a regional strategic transport model across scenarios incorporating improved infrastructure and more favourable cycling perceptions. Analysis uses the National Transport Authority’s Regional Modelling System for the Southwest (Cork), a four-stage model calibrated with Irish census and survey data and containing the country’s most detailed coded cycling network. Mode choice constants are adjusted and benchmarked to walking, and cycling speeds increased to reflect network upgrades. Results suggest significant potential for cycling uptake, but most trips diverted to cycling come from other sustainable modes (walking and public transport). Even optimistic scenarios yield only modest emissions reductions, highlighting the complex dynamics of modal shift and the need for complementary demand management measures to reduce car use effectively.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23277,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Part D-transport and Environment","volume":"151 ","pages":"Article 105115"},"PeriodicalIF":7.7,"publicationDate":"2026-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145785159","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study proposes a resilience analysis framework incorporating two disruption scenarios and travelers’ perception thresholds for path selection. The proposed framework accurately evaluates metro-bus network resilience from both topological and functional perspectives, while authentically replicating travelers’ route choice behavior. The case study conducted in Xi’an reveals scale-free characteristics in metro-bus network resilience, where a limited number of critical nodes significantly influence the metro-bus network’s resilience. Traveler types also show divergent disruption responses, yielding varying resilience across groups.

Through a non-probability panel from the Canadian provinces of Alberta and British Columbia of people living in high/medium fire risk, we collected survey data (n = 1371) on intended actions, assuming a 400 km range EV. Results indicate diverse EV charging patterns, and no single charging location type nor one form of charging behaviour dominated across scenarios throughout the evacuation time period. Across all models, we found that EV ownership, a preference to reduce risk to property and family, intended evacuation choices, and past hazard experience influenced charging behaviour. Targeted grid improvements and strategic placement of both fixed and mobile charging stations would likely be sufficient to meet electricity demand from EVs in evacuations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23277,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Part D-transport and Environment","volume":"151 ","pages":"Article 105145"},"PeriodicalIF":7.7,"publicationDate":"2026-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145732470","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We then apply the generalized propensity score (GPS) method and uncover a nonlinear causal effect of commute time on remote work preferences and frequency: the marginal effect is negative within the first 15 mins, turns positive afterward, and plateaus after 50 mins. Heterogeneity analysis reveals the strongest effects among onsite workers, with weaker effects on hybrid and remote workers.
