Purpose: The whole world is moving towards sustainable and green alternatives the conventional products. When it comes to mobility, electric cars are seen as a sustainable and green alternative. The study aims to analyze the perception of Indians especially the youth towards electric cars and to find out how likely different factors impact their buying behavior. Design/Methodology/Approach The author has conducted this research by doing a focus group discussion followed by a survey. The study has focused on the effect of different factors such as Price, Battery Warranty, Safety Features, Performance, Charging Time, Running Capacity, Appearance, Comfort Features, Brand, After Sales Service, Current Infrastructure, Celebrity Endorsements, Influence from family or friends, Subsidies from the government and Availability on the buying behavior of the potential customers for Electric cars. Findings The findings of this study are that people are looking forward to more sustainable and greener options when it comes to cars. The majority of the Indian millennials will like to buy a sedan as their preferred electric car and perceive electric cars to better than conventional cars. The customers would like to shell out INR 5 to 10 lacs for an electric car. The buying decision of the customers of an electric car is significantly impacted by Price, Battery Warranty, Safety Features, Performance, Charging Time, Running Capacity, Appearance, Comfort Features, Brand, After Sales Service, and Current Infrastructure. Despite many companies launching electric cars in India, the respondents believe that the current infrastructure is not enough to deal and accommodate electric cars on Indian roads. Around 53.2 % of the respondents who are in the age bracket of 18-25 are very likely to buy Electric Cars in the future. Originality/Value The major contribution of this study is to investigate the perception and buying behavior of the Indians especially the youth towards Electric cars.

Cities around the world are being wrecked by the ever-increasing burden of traffic. Smart cities are a recent innovation perceived as a winning strategy to cope with some severe urban problems such as traffic, pollution, energy consumption , waste treatment. This concept is attracting significant interest in the world of technology and sensors. Governments can streamline the way cities are run, saving money and making them more efficient as a result. Rapid urban developments , sustainable transportation solutions are required to meet the increasing demands for mobility whilst mitigating the potentially negative social, economic, and environmental impacts. This study analyses the smart mobility initiatives and the challenges for smart cities with connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs), it also highlights the literature that supports why CAVs are essential for smart main-tainable development as part of the intelligent transportation system (ITS).

Cities are being built based on the concepts of the comfortable, easy, and fast for the inhabitants. However, what is being constructed is promoting physical inactivity, and people are finding that what was being considered as convenient for daily life is, in fact, harmful to their physical health. The life of a city relies on the activity of the inhabitants who are the breathing engine of the built environment. Hence, the balance between physical activity and mental activity (e.g., office work) should be maintained because the more people are physically healthy, the more they are productive and the more the city experiences economic growth which all leads to satisfaction and happiness among the city’s inhabitants. Therefore, a city that facilitates the reach to physical activity helps its inhabitants to overcome many physical health issues such as overweight and obesity, the causes of many physical complications that can affect mental health over time. This study points to the many...

The topic of green mobility is very interesting and indispensable to consider due to European policy and climate changes. Cities are now actively starting to address these issues by implementing a range of different strategies, such as bringing in congestion charges and parking fees to internalise the negative impacts of transport (E. Commission in How can cities address future mobility challenges? 2019), improving and promoting the use of public transport (PT), encouraging nonmotorised transport with dedicated pedestrian-bike paths, and restricting the access of certain vehicles to the city centre. The main objective of hereby chapter is to evaluate actual state in terms of green mobility in selected European countries such as Poland, Ukraine, Italy and Norway. Authors endeavor to assess the availability, comfort, technical condition, safety, environmental friendliness, amenities in the cities from the point of view of existing public transport such as trams, buses, urban scooters, city bikes, electric kick scooters, carsharing.

The main goal of this paper is to present and analyze approaches for sustainable urban mobility in Poznan and Oslo. The topic of sustainable urban transport as well as green mobility is currently important from formal perspectives, due to European regulations, and because of ecological conditions and resulting climate changes. The research methodology implemented includes analysis of the literature on the research subject; analysis of EU documents and national policies with respect to financing and development of sustainable urban transport (SUT); development of a questionnaire on SUT in Oslo and Poznan, using the questionnaire to collect opinions on SUTs in Oslo and Poznan, and analyzing respondents' answers, defining recommendations concerning future activities for urban sustainability in the surveyed cities. The authors provide a review of the actual sustainable urban mobility situations in Oslo and Poznan, compare government support and sources of funding, identify gaps in terms of EU requirements, and try to compare the residents' expectations with the city's activities in the field of sustainable transport development. The research group includes students residing in both cities. The group constitutes 10-20% of the total number of inhabitants in cities being the subject of research. The empirical part investigates what their preferences are regarding the use of public transport in the context of sustainable development. On the basis of the conducted research, it can be stated that a sustainable urban mobility is one of the key development directions in Poland and Norway. The respondents see opportunities for developing green mobility in their cities as well as municipalities and the national government encouraging a sustainable urban transport. The implementation of the principles of sustainable development and reconstruction of city development strategy can be achieved by the cooperation of all stakeholders (namely: national government, municipalities, public transport providers, city residents).
