“…In recent years, CIB has gained popularity. Examples of applications in the energy domain include scenarios for the European energy market (Kunz and Vögele, 2017), energy demand in Germany (Vögele et al, 2017) and vehicle-to-grid technology (Knupfer et al, 2016).…”

This article aims to explore the use of cross-impact balances (CIB) to identify scenarios of value change. The possibility of value change has received little attention in the literature on value-sensitive design (VSD). Examples of value change include the emergence of new values and changes in the relative importance of values. Value change could lead to a mismatch between values embedded in technology and the way they are currently considered in society. Such a mismatch could result in a lack of acceptability of technologies, increasing social tensions and injustices. However, methods to study value change in the VSD literature are rare. CIB is a scenario tool that can study systems characterized by feedback loops that are hard to describe mathematically. This is often the case when aiming to define values and their relationships. We demonstrate the use of CIB to identify scenarios of value change using two cases: digital voice assistants and gene drive organisms. Our findings show that CIB is helpful in building scenarios of value change, even in instances where the operationalization of values is complex. CIB also helps us to understand the mechanisms of value change and evaluate when such mechanisms occur. Finally, we find that CIB is particularly useful for social learning and explanatory modelling. CIB can therefore contribute to the design of value-sensitive technologies.

“…Schucking et al (2017) maintain that the higher purchases costs of EVs are easier for fleet operations to overcome, stating that the higher annual mileage negates the higher purchase cost due to the lower operating and maintenance costs when compared against conventional vehicles. However, as Knupfer, Sprake, and Vagapov (2016) have acknowledged, the EV is still a niche product, with only expensive and premium manufacturers offering batteries with an acceptable range. On the positive side, Quak, Nesterova, and Von Rooijen (2016) acknowledge that battery leasing or swapping options could be regarded as potential routes to reduce the EV purchase price.…”

The rise in e-commerce has increased last mile parcel deliveries, in turn affecting the sustainability of transport. With the worldwide efforts to minimise fossil fuel use including the UK Government's plans to end the sales of new petrol and diesel vehicles by 2035, alternative fuels need to be explored. Currently, one of the most promising solutions is the electric vehicle (EV) which produces zero tailpipe emissions. This paper aims to explore the challenges of adopting EVs in final mile parcel deliveries, and thus identify potential directions for future research. To achieve this, we developed a systematic literature review to understand the nature of these challenges better and provide a background from which to acquire more information from leading logistics companies in the form of in-depth interviews. We found that the companies encountered different challenges based on their fleet sizes, schedule and capacity to implement the required structural and infrastructural changes to support the efficient running of their last mile delivery operations on EVs.
