In der Mobilität ist der privat genutzte Personenwagen (PW) der grösste Treiber für negative externe Effekte wie CO2-Emissionen, Lärm, Unfälle und Staus. Für ein zukunftsfähiges Verkehrssystem ist es daher zwingend notwendig, einen Umstieg auf nachhaltigere Verkehrsmittel wie den öffentlichen Verkehr (öV) oder den Aktivverkehr (Velo, zu Fuss) zu fördern. Dies ist jedoch nicht immer möglich […]
The future of private car mobility might be predominantly electric and powered by batteries. However, the environmental impacts of electric vehicles increase significantly with larger battery sizes. When relying on car utilization, vehicles with smaller batteries (i.e. smaller car, shorter range) should generally be preferred. However, the adoption of small cars is exacerbated by misjudgments […]
In 2019, 84.4% of the Swiss population lived in urban regions. The urbanisation trend still increases. Due to this and the fact that online shopping has gained popularity, the traffic load on a city’s infrastructure has increased dramatically. Currently, 10% of the transport performance (in vehicle km) on Swiss roads is caused by freight transport, […]
We adopted a stated choice survey with 995 participants from Switzerland to test the car purchase preference of mobility users with and without carsharing experience. Results suggest that – for people living in the countryside – carsharing users have a 3 times higher likelihood of choosing a micro to mid-sized battery electric vehicle (BEV) compared […]
Alternative mobility lifestyles are often seen as costly compared to owning a conventional car. We provide a basis for discussion and compare total cost of ownership of Swiss conventional car users and three sustainable mobility lifestyles with participants of the Swiss Household Energy Demand Survey conducted in 2020. The future of private car mobility might […]
