Mapping electromobility in the aspect of the circular economy
KOHOUTOVÁ, Nikola
This diploma thesis focuses on the mapping of electromobility and its potential in the context of the circular economy in the South Bohemian Region. Electromobility is a very researched topic and in connection with the circular economy brings new possibilities for more sustainable transport. The work focuses on transportation and analyzes traffic and the current state of goods transportation on roads and railways. This is the mapping of light trucks up to 3.5 t, which, when replaced by electric cars, are offered as a perspective solution for achieving the emission reduction goals mentioned in the European Green Deal. The work is based on the analysis of data from the transport yearbooks of the Ministry of Transport of Czech Republic and data from The Road and Motorway Directorate and the Transport Research Centre. The methodology includes the monitoring of parameters of transport performance, traffic intensity and transport of goods, subsequently analyzed using calculations of year-on-year changes. Based on these data, the future values of the parameters of traffic intensity, transportation of goods and transportation performance were calculated with the help of Holt's model, as well as estimates of the future need for electricity. Three variants of replacing a part of conventional trucks with electric ones were proposed, with the aim of reducing CO2 emissions, and in all of them the reduction was achieved thanks to electric cars. All predictions are based on real time series data from 2000 to 2022 and show the potential of electromobility in achieving the goals of the circular economy in transport. The results contribute to the discussion about the implementation of electromobility and its benefit or, conversely, disadvantage for the sustainability of transport.
