Fulton","doi":"10.1016/j.retrec.2024.101440","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.retrec.2024.101440","url":null,"abstract":"<div><p>This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the initial costs and total cost of ownership (TCO) for light-duty battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) from 2020 to 2040, covering cars, SUVs, and light trucks, alongside the infrastructure requirements. Key findings indicate that by 2040, the initial costs for BEVs will align with those of gasoline vehicles if battery costs can reach cell-level $70/kWh (or pack-level $84/kWh). For FCVs, achieving cost parity with gasoline cars before 2040 will be challenging unless the cost of fuel cells decreases to about $40/kW through high-volume production (&gt;500000 units). Regarding 5-year TCOs, both BEVs and FCVs are expected to be close to or slightly lower than those of gasoline vehicles by 2040 across all LDV market segments. Investment analysis for large fleets suggests that by 2040, public fast charging for BEVs could cost $2000/vehicle, and hydrogen refueling for FCVs $1100/vehicle. Additionally, the study assesses the impact of low carbon fuel standard (LCFS) credits on the profitability of refueling stations, concluding that these credits are essential for transforming potentially unprofitable stations into profitable ventures with returns of 5% or higher. This highlights the critical role of LCFS in financing BEVs and FCVs infrastructure.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47810,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Economics","volume":"105 ","pages":"Article 101440"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140813109","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}

Accounting for statistical power also reduces the relevance of estimation methods as well as country and sectoral differences. These results indicate that a larger data set than typically available is required to overcome the issue of low power.

However, a significant concern arises from the inconsistency between passengers' negative attitudes and their robust patronage behaviors toward PT services, particularly evident among the captive riders. This paradox entails the risk of these passengers potentially shifting to alternative transport modes in the future, thereby diminishing ridership. To unravel the intricate dynamics inherent in the relationship between captive riders' attitudes and behaviors, this study introduces a novel integrated model merging Satisfaction-Loyalty Theory (SLT) with Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). The integrated model seeks to enhance the comprehension of the mechanisms that drive captive riders' ongoing utilization of PT services, specifically within the context of attitude-behavior inconsistency. Evident in a case study involving 637 samples collected in Dalian, China, the integrated model not only shows excellent goodness-of-fit but also outperforms both the conventional SLT and TPB frameworks. It excels in explaining why captive riders may persist in their behaviors towards the service even in the face of dissatisfaction and highlights how the perceived service quality shapes their attitudes and behaviors. This substantially contributes to the development of targeted service improvement strategies for sustaining captive riders’ continued patronage.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47810,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Economics","volume":"105 ","pages":"Article 101431"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140639403","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}

A mathematical model, formulated as Electric Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows and Partial Recharging (EVRPTW-PR), has been applied for selecting the best zero-emission vehicle for e-grocery home delivery. The comparison of the most emerging electric light-duty vehicles (e-cargo bikes, e-mopeds, and e-vans) has been carried out through key performance indicators related to the drivers’ salary, the total delivery time, the fuel (energy) costs, the vehicle investment costs, and the average payload capacity utilization.

Choosing which airport to use depends on the competition between the airlines operating from them and how accessible they are to the residents in the surrounding areas. This research introduces an efficient design based on D-error using a stated preferences survey to study user behaviour when choosing between competing airports. The data is modelled using a Multinomial Logit Model and a Random Parameter Error Component Logit (RPECL), a discrete choice model which allows us to study user preferences taking into account their varying systemic and random tastes, as well as find specific correlations which may exist between similar alternatives. This meant the authors were also able to calculate the direct and cross elasticities to examine the weight of the different variables involved in making the choice of airport. The results showed, for a study case in Spain (Bilbao and Seve Ballesteros - Santander airports), that increased access time to the furthest airport caused an important fall in demand (choice) for that airport. It was also shown that access fees had a lower elasticity than the flight cost and that the fewer the transfers required to reach the final destination increased the probability of choosing an airport. Therefore, in order for smaller airports to compete with larger airports they need to invest more in reducing the cost of flights, attracting more low-cost companies and offering more direct complementary destinations than those provided by larger airports.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47810,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Economics","volume":"104 ","pages":"Article 101427"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0739885924000222/pdfft?md5=a5688cdc31a5a5be17319b9ae4f97ee6&pid=1-s2.0-S0739885924000222-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140320609","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, barriers are limiting the speed and extent of uptake. Indeed, freight decarbonisation is a sociotechnical challenge. Behaviour change is usually required to facilitate technological change. For this reason, stakeholders are central to processes of identifying pathways to decarbonisation. The paper reports findings from two projects undertaken in the UK in 2020–21 which examined how stakeholder engagement on freight decarbonisation could be enhanced to promote the process of identifying pathways through co-creation. The projects involved the conduct of literature reviews, stakeholder mapping exercises, and stakeholder engagement in coproduction workshops. The stakeholder mapping and engagement process led to the identification of groups of actors which were relatively easy and hard to include. Engagement and interaction were found to be promoted in some respects by the need to conduct the data collection remotely rather than in presence, and by building on established networks. In terms of the identification of pathways, stakeholders showed mixed levels of knowledge. Uncertainty about the future was generally high, with perceived risks being important. Nonetheless, short, medium and long-term pathway features were identified, with electrification playing a key role in the long term. However, the need for strong multilevel governance providing a clear regulatory framework and incentives for change was perceived by stakeholders overall to be more significant than a particular technology.

Key factors were identified with a literature review and then classified into benefits and barriers related to the urban environment, and challenges and strengths related to the transport operation. Subsequently, these factors were evaluated by experts and classified by estimating a Luce model. The results indicate that benefits are related to the fight against climate change by optimising urban space and reducing the movements of freight vehicles. Barriers are associated with the lack of a collaborative culture and the need to change consumer behaviour, which helps to promote collaboration and reduce just-in-time demand. For the transport operation, the integration of people and freight systems can reduce operational costs, increase the efficiency of the transport system, and improve the accessibility for people and goods, while promoting economic development by decentralising economic activity. To achieve these benefits, the main challenges concern the logistic activity and the cooperation of stakeholders.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47810,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Economics","volume":"104 ","pages":"Article 101425"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140274531","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}
