Innovation and Sustainability in Electric and Autonomous Mobility

Advancements in electric and autonomous mobility are reshaping transportation by reducing environmental impacts, enhancing efficiency, and transforming urban infrastructure. Integrating renewable energy with these technologies supports the transition to cleaner, more resilient transit systems. Shifts in consumer adoption, paired with supportive policy frameworks, are accelerating the move toward sustainable and intelligent mobility solutions. These developments have the potential to reduce carbon emissions, improve road safety, and redefine how people and goods move within and between communities. Innovation and Sustainability in Electric and Autonomous Mobility explores the evolving landscape of electric and autonomous vehicles, focusing on their technological, strategic, and policy dimensions. It encompasses critical discussions on technological advancements, integration of renewable energy in infrastructure, consumer acceptance models, and policy frameworks that facilitate the transition toward sustainable transport. Covering topics such as advertising, infrastructure, and urban mobility, this book is an excellent resource for academicians, researchers, policymakers, business leaders, educators, and more.
