      <title>Reorienting electric mobility research focus on industrialisation issues</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/1641491</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Considering the pace of the electric vehicle (EV) market, the high level of investment made by carmakers in electric line-up development, scale production units and mobility services, the authors acknowledge that electromobility dynamics enters now a transitional phase. Industrialisation strategies, predominant in the success of EV market scale up, have been quite neglected till now and, consequently, the authors state that electric mobility research must be refocused on these issues and introduce a research question: is BEV scale-up, along the whole value chain, driven by reuse of manufacturing assets or pulled by (product) design disruption? The authors identify two differentiated industrialisation scenarios: one driven by manufacturing assets dependency path, one pulled by the optimised BEV product design strategy whose the authors discuss benefits, drawbacks and conditions of success. Furthermore, from empirical observations, the authors confirm that the EV market is in a transitional phase and, based upon observations of some carmakers, the authors identify strong patterns of a manufacturing assets dependency path regime.]]></description>

      <title>The last frontier: prospects and policies for the automotive industry in Africa</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/1424882</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Since the turn of the century, sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) has grown very rapidly and the expansion of the middle class is evident in the surge of demand for vehicles albeit from a very low base. The first part of the article quantifies the rapid growth in vehicle sales, which is being met mainly by imports, especially of used cars. Outside of South Africa, domestic production is minimal and the article goes on to consider the question of whether and how the region can begin to meet this booming demand by developing its own industry. The level of industrialisation in most parts of SSA is low and manufacturing capabilities are limited. Nevertheless, a number of the larger countries, for example Nigeria and Kenya, are putting policies in place to encourage domestic production. Small scale investments in assembly are underway. To make the most of this opportunity, African countries will need to adopt appropriate policies and also accelerate the process of regional integration to allow for sufficient market scale.]]></description>

      <title>Struggle over the Streets: Industrialization and the Fight over the Corporate Control of Street Space in Philadelphia, 1830–1860</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/1263370</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Between 1830 and 1860, Philadelphia's streets became the focus of a series of physical and legal disputes as new infrastructure technologies transformed the streets from a social to a corporate space. Early in the nineteenth century the city gave its residents control and responsibility for the streets creating what amounted to an urban commons. In the 1830s, city ordinances and state charters gave the companies building large infrastructure technologies like streetcar systems and telegraph lines rights to the streets. These new laws effectively made street space a corporately owned public space. Many residents of Philadelphia resisted these changes and their resistance highlights the incompatibility of residentially and corporately controlled public space.]]></description>

      <title>Roadlessness and the 'Path to Communism': Building Roads and Highways in Stalinist Russia</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/894574</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This article discusses how the construction and maintenance of roads within the Soviet Union of the 1920s helped to support two major Stalinist aims – collective farming and mass industrialization. The author notes that in 1927, the Soviet Union counted less than 20,000 vehicles, including both trucks and automobiles. In addition, Soviet factories produced only a few hundred vehicles annually. Moreover, the czarist era national road network, established to connect the European part of the empire with European capitals, suffered from neglect, due to both World War I (1914-1918) and the country's revolution and civil war period (1917-1922). Funding for roads was pushed into the background in favor of railroads. However, beginning in July 1927, a series of articles written in "Pravda" by Communist Party official Valerian Osinskii, brought the country's poor road conditions to the forefront. Beyond Pravda articles, Osinskii also used his influence as a founding member of Avtodor (Society for the Promotion of Automobilism and Road Improvement) to note how poor road conditions affect the rural areas. Through Avtodor's efforts, the Soviet leadership began, in 1931, to build and rehabilitate roadways, along with producing more motor vehicles.  By 1937, road building and maintenance became routine activities in rural areas. This allowed Communist ideology to more easily permeate the country while more firmly binding the rural population to the aims of the State.]]></description>
