Innovation in transportation and mobility is central to sustainable development. There is a widespread awareness that society would benefit if transportation became more sustainable, promoting economic growth while respecting the environment. This paper introduces SNAP, a four-wheel pedal-assisted electric vehicle that represents a new concept in s...

In this paper, the allocation of charging station (CS) is optimized to alleviate the “range anxiety” of electric vehicle (EV) drivers by reducing the time of medium-to-long distance travel, which is raised due to the potential en-route charging. The problem is defined to explicitly consider the spatial differences in urban land price. Although many...

Sustainability has become more critical in logistics and transportation, especially in last-mile delivery (LMD). Electronic vehicles (EVs), electronic(E)-bicycles, cargo bikes, and drones are alternative solutions to the existing internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles that enable low environmental and economic impact. However, they may require a higher investment and have constraints like battery autonomy, small loading capacity, and higher electricity production to meet the demand. This chapter aims to explore the environmental and economic impact of electronic vehicles, as well as the operational challenges and barriers to achieving sustainability. Hence, a thorough literature review is necessary to understand the scholarly work in the area. The study employs the systematic literature review (SLR) to extract data from the Scopus database from 2019-2023. Thirty-two articles were reviewed. The descriptive and thematic analyses have identified the environmental, economic, and social components related to the distribution methods, delivery methods, and perceived sustainability.
Innovation in transportation and mobility is the foundation for sustainable development. This paper provides details of the SNAP family vehicles, four-wheel pedal-assisted electric vehicles that represent a new concept in sustainable mobility that aims to fill the gap between bicycle and automobile. Special focus is given to the study of the overturning problem for this class of microcars that contribute to two Sustainable Development Goals: Affordable Clean Energy and Sustainable Cities and Communities.KeywordsSDG7SDG11electric-assisted vehiclesquadricyclemobilitylast-mile deliveryoverturn stability
