Factor Definition E-MobilityRelative

AdvantageImprovement over previous

generation

no emissions (+)low noise level (+/-)

small distances only (-)high price (-)

long charging time (-)few charging stations (-)different standards (-)

Compatibility Fit with people‘s lives

strong environmental awareness (+)

practical for city-people (+)

Complexity/Simplicity

Ease of use almost no difference with conventional vehicles (+)

Trialability Opportunity to experiment

hardly available (-)

Observability Visibility to others

everyone will see it (+)

TRENDS: INDUSTRY IS TAKING OFF Economy: Uncertainty of Oil supply and prices Environment: need for reduction of emissions

and noise Social: Environmental Awareness Government: Emergence of global climate

change policies EU: Green Car Initiative China: $15 bn in 10 yrs (with D)

Technology: Industry increases its efforts Many car manufacturers moving in market Batteries improving China: largest producer scale economies

CONCLUSION Prague is in the pilot phase

Promising trends

Prague is lagging behind...

..., but greening Prague’s bus transport system could be a major leap forward

Favorable effects: environment, jobs, attractiveness
