The diffusion of innovations is an important process and its models have appli-cations in many fields, with particular relevance in technological forecast. The logistic equation is one of most important models in this context. Extensions of this approach as the Lotka-Volterra model have been...

Elektromobilität bietet große Potenziale zur Reduktion der verkehrsbedingten Treibhausgasemissionen und Erhöhung der Versorgungssicherheit, bedeutet aber auch Veränderungen in der Automobilbranche. In der Vielzahl der Entwicklungen und Ereignisse gehen häufig der Blick auf die wesentlichen...

Commercial passenger cars are often discussed as an early market segment for plug-in electric vehicles (EVs). Compared to private vehicles, the commercial vehicle segment is characterized by higher vehicle kilometers travelled and a higher share of vehicle sales in Germany. Studies which...

Der Wirtschaftsverkehr wird häufig als potenzieller Erstmarkt für Elektrofahrzeuge diskutiert. Der Anteil gewerblich zugelassener Fahrzeuge ist in Deutschland zwar bestandsmäßig gering (10%), bei den Neuzulassungen beträgt er jedoch rund 60 %. Zudem verhelfen hohe Fahrleistungen zu einer...

Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) combine electric propulsion with an internal combustion engine. Their potential to reduce transport related green-house gas emissions highly depends on their actual usage and electricity provision. Various studies underline their environmental and economic...

Facing climate change, The European Union has set ambitious greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets. Within Europe, heavy-duty vehicles (HDV) account for a quarter of greenhouse gas emissions in the transport sector and therefore plays a central role in achieving the climate targets. A potential...

Die Verbreitung von Elektrofahrzeugen spielt eine wichtige Rolle zur Erreichung der Klimaziele im Verkehrssektor und kann auch zu einer größeren Unabhängigkeit der Energieversorgung beitragen. Die Erforschung ihrer Verbreitung ist daher weiterhin von großer Relevanz. Im Rahmen einer Studie...
