Electric bus adoption for sustainable urban mobility: Public policies, technological maturity of cities, and small business innovation
The Brazilian National Energy Balance underscores transportation as the primary energy consumer and major contributor to atmospheric pollution. Despite escalating energy demand, Brazil relies heavily on fossil fuels, and its energy efficiency lags behind other nations. Electric buses offer a viable solution, boasting low greenhouse gas emissions and various socio-economic and environmental benefits, including noise reduction, enhanced air quality, cost savings, and job creation in the electric vehicle sector. Small business innovation is pivotal in this context, driving the development of technologies and solutions. The research inquiry focuses on the impact of public policies on the technological maturity of electric bus adoption for sustainable urban mobility in Brazilian cities. Employing a multi-method approach, including the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and interviews with industry stakeholders, preliminary findings highlight the critical role of regulatory frameworks and incentives in enhancing cities' maturity levels, surpassing technological advancements and performance metrics in importance.
期刊介绍:
Research in Transportation Business & Management (RTBM) will publish research on international aspects of transport management such as business strategy, communication, sustainability, finance, human resource management, law, logistics, marketing, franchising, privatisation and commercialisation. Research in Transportation Business & Management welcomes proposals for themed volumes from scholars in management, in relation to all modes of transport. Issues should be cross-disciplinary for one mode or single-disciplinary for all modes. We are keen to receive proposals that combine and integrate theories and concepts that are taken from or can be traced to origins in different disciplines or lessons learned from different modes and approaches to the topic. By facilitating the development of interdisciplinary or intermodal concepts, theories and ideas, and by synthesizing these for the journal''s audience, we seek to contribute to both scholarly advancement of knowledge and the state of managerial practice. Potential volume themes include: -Sustainability and Transportation Management- Transport Management and the Reduction of Transport''s Carbon Footprint- Marketing Transport/Branding Transportation- Benchmarking, Performance Measurement and Best Practices in Transport Operations- Franchising, Concessions and Alternate Governance Mechanisms for Transport Organisations- Logistics and the Integration of Transportation into Freight Supply Chains- Risk Management (or Asset Management or Transportation Finance or ...): Lessons from Multiple Modes- Engaging the Stakeholder in Transportation Governance- Reliability in the Freight Sector
