“…In some cases, such as for maintenance and repair, authors differ not only on the magnitude but even the direction of the change. A similar 2021 European Union study on maintenance and repair also presented a set of studies with large variation in estimates, although the authors concluded based on three selected studies that the trend is towards a decrease in demand [11].…”

This paper draws on publicly available data from the Current Population Survey and the Bureau of Labor Statistics, as well as estimates from 25 studies, to understand how a transition to electric vehicles may impact workers in the vehicle services sector. We examine the structure of the current vehicle service workforce, characterize its unique vulnerabilities along several dimensions, and evaluate how it may be impacted by rising EV adoption. Careful attention to how the benefits and costs of widespread vehicle electrification are distributed is essential to inform effective policy to support workers and communities through an EV transition, and this analysis provides a starting point for understanding these impacts. More generally, the case of vehicle service workers suggests that understanding indirect, system-wide impacts of the broader clean energy transition may inform a more just transition, which may in turn help to maintain and expand support for necessary climate action.

“…Automation, particularly the integration of autonomous vehicles, is expected to ease congestion [35], decrease emissions and fuel consumption [36], and reduce accidents, as these vehicles are designed to minimise human error [37]. Significant investments in infrastructure are required to support this transition [38], but the promise of longterm savings in operational costs due to reduced maintenance and fuel expenses is a key factor [33].…”

This study examines the impact of emerging transport trends on the Western Balkans and their potential to improve the sustainability and efficiency of the transport sector in the region. In the context of global efforts to reduce environmental impacts and improve transport safety, the study aims to better understand the perspective of the business sector in order to align strategic planning for the introduction of new transport technologies and practices with the expectations of the business sector. Using a questionnaire-based survey on the Mentimeter platform, the study gathers insights from 49 transport and logistics experts. The analysis uses violin plots and heat maps to visualise the expected impact of the identified trends. The results show a consensus among the experts that the emerging trends are likely to lead to a reduction in accidents, congestion, and emissions, while at the same time increasing operating costs and investment in infrastructure. In particular, trends such as alternative fuels, electrification, and smart city initiatives are highlighted as important drivers for reducing emissions. The study concludes that while these trends are likely to lead to the achievement of environmental and safety goals, they also lead to economic challenges as operating costs increase and significant infrastructure investment is required. The study emphasises the need for strategic investment, policy adjustments, and capacity building to lead the Western Balkans towards a sustainable transport future.

“…Similarly, passengers experiencing a ride with an automated shuttle would often use an emergency button inside the vehicle, just to see how the vehicle would react ( Nordhoff et al, 2020 ). Therefore, safety and security should be clearly and transparently ensured, required by regulation ( Fagnant and Kockelman, 2015 ) and supported by insurance schemes ( Baumann et al, 2019 , Grosso et al, 2021a ).…”
