Cost-benefit analysis of future vehicle technologies: exploring electric vehicle sharing schemes and intermodality in Lisbon

This paper presents a comparative cost-benefit analysis of future vehicle technologies and electric mobility services until 2030 for the case of Lisbon Metropolitan area (LMA). The roles of electric vehicles (car, scooter and bike sharing) along with intermodal transport (train and underground) are explored as a means to improve the sustainability of the passenger transport sector. The methodology considered a life-cycle assessment of Battery-powered Electric Vehicles (BEVs) and Internal Combustion Engine Vehicles - gasoline (ICEVs), taking the perspective of the user, in terms of CO2 and energy consumption. The analysis covered emissions along the entire chain of production and usage of vehicles – the Well-to-Wheel (WtW) analysis, comprising the Well-to-Tank (WtT) and the Tank-to-Wheel (TtW) emissions, where the energy grid trend scenarios (mix of electricity production) explored the incorporation of renewable for emissions’ reduction (gCO2/kWh).
