TLDR
The EESC agreed that the 2050 vision goal of a greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction of 60 % in the transport sector, although very challenging, is in line with the EU's overall climate policy aims and that it strikes a reasonable balance between the need for quick reductions of greenhouse gases and the time needed to optimise energy efficiency in a single European Transport Area and develop new and sustainable fuels and propulsion systems in order to reduce dependence on fossil fuels as mentioned in this paper.Abstract:

The Electric Vehicle-Routing Problem with Time Windows and Recharging Stations
TL;DR: This work introduces the electric vehicle-routing problem with time windows and recharging stations E-VRPTW and presents a hybrid heuristic that combines a variable neighborhood search algorithm with a tabu search heuristic, which incorporates the possibility of recharging at any of the available stations using an appropriate recharging scheme.

The Electric Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows and Recharging Stations
Abstract: Driven by new laws and regulations concerning the emission of greenhouse gases, carriers are starting to use electric vehicles for last-mile deliveries. The limited battery capacities of these vehicles necessitate visits to recharging stations during delivery tours of industry-typical length, which have to be considered in the route planning to avoid inefficient vehicle routes with long detours. We introduce the electric vehicle-routing problem with time windows and recharging stations E-VRPTW, which incorporates the possibility of recharging at any of the available stations using an appropriate recharging scheme. Furthermore, we consider limited vehicle freight capacities as well as customer time windows, which are the most important constraints in real-world logistics applications. As a solution method, we present a hybrid heuristic that combines a variable neighborhood search algorithm with a tabu search heuristic. Tests performed on newly designed instances for the E-VRPTW as well as on benchmark instances of related problems demonstrate the high performance of the heuristic proposed as well as the positive effect of the hybridization.

Electrical Motor Drivelines in Commercial All-Electric Vehicles: A Review

TL;DR: It is illustrated that comparisons between the different motors are difficult by the large number of parameters and the lack of a recommended test scheme, so it is proposed that a standardized drive cycle be used to test and compare motors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the structural properties of an intrinsically multilayered real network, the European Air Transportation Multiplex Network in which each commercial airline defines a network layer, are analyzed. And the topology of each layer affects the emergence of structural properties in the aggregate network.
