We model the interaction between Charging Point Operators (CPOs), which invest in charging infrastructure, and Mobility Service Providers (MSPs), which sell charging services to end users. The model features indirect network externalities: denser infrastructure reduces range anxiety and increases EV adoption, while higher EV demand raises infrastructure profitability. In the benchmark laissez-faire environment, vertical integration creates a trade-off. Integrated CPOs-MSPs may foreclose rival MSPs and reduce downstream competition, but they also internalize the complementarity between infrastructure investment and EV demand, generating higher infrastructure density, EV adoption, consumer surplus, and welfare than vertical separation. This welfare ranking is established under foreclosure and is then generalized in a robustness extension with interoperability constraints. Minimum-margin rules keep the rival MSP active and soften foreclosure, while the integrated firm still retains part of its investment advantage. However, when interoperability entails compliance and coordination costs, stricter access regulation may further weaken infrastructure investment incentives. We also compare consumer subsidies and firm subsidies within the benchmark environment. Consumer subsidy dominates under vertical integration, while firm subsidy may dominate under separation only when network effects are sufficiently strong. A calibration to Italian metropolitan areas supports these mechanisms and highlights a fiscal trade-off: consumer subsidy generates larger welfare gains, whereas firm subsidy may deliver higher environmental benefits per euro spent.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":45761,"journal":{"name":"Economics of Transportation","volume":"46 ","pages":"Article 100459"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148241610","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To assess whether the visibility of the policy shaped this response, we also examine the effects of the subsequent announcement of its financing scheme, nearly a year later.

As a result, making well-informed decisions is crucial for their success. This study examines a 3PL that operates a railway fleet alongside competing 3PLs that rely on road transportation. While all 3PLs compete to secure cargo, those using road transport also face the challenge of attracting drivers amidst ongoing driver shortages. To address this, a risk-aversion model is developed for 3PLs. The study also considers a fuel refinery that supplies both biofuel and fossil fuel to meet the needs of road and rail transport. The refinery has the option to export surplus fuel to external markets at a premium price. Meanwhile, the government plays a key role by subsidizing biofuel supply and regulating greenhouse gas emissions from fuel production through penalties. A sustainable SC is achieved through a Nash equilibrium, with the government acting as the leader in a Stackelberg game framework. Prices and other decision variables are determined by optimizing each stakeholder's objective function, while the government's function is designed to ensure SC sustainability. Additionally, special emphasis is placed on promoting rail transport as an environmentally friendly alternative. The model's validity is demonstrated through a real-world case study and sensitivity analysis. Results indicate that government intervention supports SC sustainability by encouraging both rail transport and biofuel production, with biofuel optimized to account for 17.15 % of the total fuel supply on average. By implementing subsidies and improving logistics services, competition among 3PLs can drive higher rail fleet utilization, reaching up to 78 % of total fleet use.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":45761,"journal":{"name":"Economics of Transportation","volume":"44 ","pages":"Article 100438"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145416361","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
