E-bikes and E-scooters for smart logistics: environmental and economic sustainability in pro-E-bike Italian pilots

E-bikes and E-scooters for smart logistics: environmental and economic sustainability in pro-E-bike Italian pilots

This paper is focused on the analysis of the four Italian pilots, three in Genoa and one in Milan, highlighting the peculiarities of each one and investigating the data collected in the 12 months test. Each pilot represents a specific and well defined case study. The data used for the elaboration of this paper have been collected by pilot companies and, for the Italian pilots, elaborated by Poliedra – Politecnico di Milano.

Key findings

Hesitancies on electric vehicles are largely in their battery duration and reliability.

It can be determined that initial costs and reliability are the primary reasons big companies are not willing to take the plunge into changing their vehicles.

Even at the end of the pilot, GLS continued to use electric vehicles hoping to decrease costs.
