Suitability of ELEctromobility for Commercial Transport - A (SELECT )
SELECT examines the actual state and expected development of EV in commercial transport in different European countries and will derive recommendations addressing the broad range of stakeholders including policy, industry, and users. Different solutions to support the customers’ shift from conventional to electric vehicles will be proposed.
Project description
The commercial transport sector is of particular relevance for the overall transport system and its
climate impact. It is assumed to be one of the early adopters of electromobility. In order to increase
market penetration, SELECT will provide deeper knowledge on commercial transport with respect to the
potential for electromobility. Besides usage patterns and related technological and organisa-tional
requirements, special emphasis will be given to expectations, attitudes, and preferences to-wards the
adoption of electromobility, in particular for specific economic sectors. As research will consider the
actual state and expected development in different European countries, national simi-larities or
differences will be taken into account.
Survey data to be collected during the project will provide the empirical background for in-depth
analysis. Respective findings will be used twofold: First, a methodological framework will be devel-oped
that builds the basis for further industrial development of tools and services that address new
opportunities and challenges when utilising EV within commercial fleets. Second, recommenda-tions
will be derived addressing the broad range of stakeholders including policy, industry, and us-ers.
Recommendations will consider not only technological solutions, but also economic, political and
infrastructural environments notably supporting the customer's shift from conventional to elec-tric
vehicles.
Stakeholders such as logistics operators, industry, academia, and policy will be consulted through-out
the project to benefit not only from their particular perspective and in-depth knowledge, but also to
address and meet their interest.
Within the SELECT consortium research institutions will work together with business companies that
already have integrated electric vehicles into their fleets or are going to develop supporting services.
