Abstract

Transport is one of the main urban logistics issues. The discussion on the development of transport systems, expressed in consecutive EU White Papers and communications, highlights two main challenges, i.e. the need to change the modal split, including the growing role of public, rail and intermodal transport, as well as changes in energy sources. The response to the second challenge includes, inter alia, electromobility. Technological advancement turned the electric vehicle into a real alternative to the conventional car, especially in urban areas. This enabled to reduce the negative impact of transport on the environment (e.g. reduced emission and energy consumption) which did not require a major increase in the use of public transport. The chapter describes challenges for the urban logistics as regards the large-scale implementation of electromobility. It distinguishes four main types of activities, such as the development of vehicles, adjustment of infrastructure, improvement of organizational structure and the support of integrated information systems. Analyses referred to were implemented as a part of the international research project ‘Electric travelling—a platform supporting the implementation of electromobility in smart cities based on ICT applications’ funded from the National Research and Development Centre under the ERA-NET CoFund Electric Mobility Europe Programme.
