“…Zhou et al [44] stated that the combustion of fossil fuels is the main factor of CO 2 generation, while city construction and development are the major contributors to the use of fossil fuels and related carbon sources. Colmenar-Santos et al [45] and Doust and Otkur [46] pointed out that city transportation is the primary source of carbon emissions, with vehicular exhaust being the main contributor to transportation-related carbon emissions. Phdungsilp [47] proposed that the shift in Bangkok, Thailand, from private passenger vehicles to public transportation systems can significantly reduce energy demand, carbon emissions, and air pollutants.…”

Climate change threatens human survival and development. Cities, as the main gathering places for human production and life, serve as the focal points for the implementation of the policies related to energy efficiency, energy transition, and environmental protection. This study constructs an index system for the evaluation of carbon-neutral cities from the perspectives of carbon sources and carbon sinks. The system includes thirteen indicators under six dimensions. It combines objective and subjective data (i.e., statistical data and expert evaluations) by integrating two approaches: the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (fuzzy AHP) and vise kriterijumska optimizacija i kompromisno resenje with hesitant fuzzy sets (HFS-VIKOR). We verify the efficacy of the proposed approach through a case study of thirteen low-carbon pilot cities in China. The results indicate that among these cities, Shenzhen performs the best, followed by Guangzhou and Hangzhou, while Kunming, Baoding, and Tianjin show poor performance in terms of carbon neutrality. Kunming and Baoding exhibit shortcomings mainly in carbon sources, while Tianjin faces deficiencies in both carbon sources and carbon sinks. Sensitivity analysis and comparative analysis show the availability and effectiveness of the proposed method. The proposed radar chart further highlights the improvement directions for each city to achieve carbon neutrality.

“…A compromise solution between environmental protection and easy access to quick energy release from fossil fuels is the hybrid (HEV) or plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), where a combination of ICE car and EV occurs. The hybridization between an internal combustion engine and electric motor provides a long driving range and lower carbon emissions than conventional cars only powered by ICE, but continues to have pollutant effects and still requires battery charging, either from the grid like plug-in hybrid electric vehicles or from the combustion engine as in HEVs [94][95][96][97][98][99][100][101][102][103][104][105][106][107][108].…”

This work aims to study and analyze sustainability improvement in urban and road transportation by using a hybrid power system for electric vehicles consisting of a dual low- and high-rate operation lithium battery block and a fuel cell. The proposed power system reduces the energy consumption in electric vehicles, thus helping to enhance a sustainable process of environmental urban pollution and reducing or eliminating fossil fuel dependence, enhancing global sustainability. In this configuration, the high-rate lithium battery powers the electric vehicle in high-power-demand processes like acceleration mode or on an uphill road; the low-rate battery operates at a low output power range, servicing the auxiliary systems and low power loads, and the fuel cell supplies energy in intermediate-power-demand conditions, normal driving mode, constant velocity, or flat and downhill terrain. The dual power system improves global efficiency, since every power unit operates optimally, depending on the driving conditions. Power sharing optimizes the lithium battery performance and fuel cell capacity, minimizing the size and weight of each energy system and enlarging the driving range. A comparative study between different lithium battery configurations and fuel cells shows an efficiency improvement of 31.4% for the hybrid dual-battery block and fuel cell operating in low, high, and intermediate output power ranges, respectively. The study is based on a simulation process recreating current driving conditions for electric cars in urban, peripheral, and intercity routes. An alternative solution consisting of a hybrid system, fuel cell, and high-rate lithium battery produces a 29% power gain.
