Electrification of public transport in europe. Vision and practice from the ELIPTIC project
Although electric passenger cars tend to capture the lion’s share in visioning and designing cleaner mobility patterns, research continuously provides directions to support cleaner public transport systems and in recent times electrification has become more and more a core field of study. An example is ELIPTIC (2015-2018), a project funded by the European Commission, with the aim to develop new concepts to optimise existing electric public transport infrastructure and rolling stock on eleven use cases across Europe.
