Experts on Resistance to Reorganization of Structure and Technologies of Urban Mobility Provision in Russia: Challenges, Reasons, Solutions and Prospects

Abstract

In 2022 a lot has changed in the Russian transport system. Today the urban transport systems of Russian cities are staying at the bifurcation point – they are awaiting serious changes. Therefore, it was interesting to investigate expert opinions of specialists on the prospects of the development of urban mobility provision technologies in Russia and possible changes in the current structure of citizens’ transportation approaches. The paper gives results of the research of opinions of transport market specialists on the issues of the probability of the shift of the current paradigm of transport services in Tyumen (a large Russian city with a population of 828.5 thousand people) and the necessity of reorganization of the structure and technologies of urban mobility provision due to the withdrawal of foreign automakers from the Russian market. The article presents the comparison of opinions between Tyumen professionals in the transport market and ordinary Russian citizens. The main conclusion of the research considers the serious resistance of the public environment to the expected reorganization of the structure and technologies of urban mobility provision in Russia.

Exploring the Factors Accelerating the Electric Motorcycle Adoptions: Insights from Theory of Planned Behavior and Travel Behavior

“…Several studies related to the adoption of electric motorcycles have been conducted in various countries to investigate what factors affect the intention to purchase electric motorcycles to encourage the acceleration of the adoption process [15]- [17]. Research with this goal can be clustered into two main clusters.…”

Study on Solar Powered Electric Vehicle with Thermal Management Systems on the Electrical Device Performance

“…Research and development of electric cars does not only focus on aerodynamic aspects, but also concerns policy [13], competition with conventional vehicles [14]- [16], consumer acceptance [17], production [18], energy management [19]- [21], and the weaknesses of electric cars [22]. For example, an electric car requires a special place for charging its battery where the car must be stopped for a certain amount of time [23]- [25].…”

Fueling the Future: The Case for Heavy-Duty Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles in Sustainable Transportation

“…The urgent need to reduce transportation emissions and combat climate change has brought fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) into focus as promising solutions [1]. While both light-duty and heavy-duty FCEVs have advantages, heavy-duty FCEV technology emerges as a more compelling choice due to its effectiveness in demanding applications, environmental benefits, operational efficiency, compatibility with current infrastructure, and economic feasibility [2]- [4].…”
