Description
e-Mobility hubs (eHUBS) are on-street locations that bring together shared e-bikes, e-cargobikes (for transporting goods or people), e-scooters, and e-cars, providing novel shared mobility solutions tailored towards different situations and target groups. However, eHUBS are not merely a mobility solution. That is, they can also serve a variety of additional functions such as delivery pick-up points, secure storage for personal items or vehicles (e.g., scooters or bicycles), EV charging points, amenities (e.g., coffee shop), and work or social space (see illustration below).
In total, the eHUBS project consists of 15 partners and six pilot cities, across five European countries. Newcastle University is contributing to the Transport Modelling and Travel Behaviour Analysis work package. We focus on:
- helping to determine the best eHUB locations
- identifying target groups likely to use eHUBS
- identifying barriers to the use of eHUBS
- quantifying the potential emission savings
Savings are due to:
- direct shifts from private transport to eHUBS
- indirect shifts from private to public transport as facilitated by the use of eHUBS
