Acknowledgement I entirely carried out this thesis as Research Associate of TUMCREATE in Singapore. This work was financially supported by the Singapore National Research Foundation under its Campus for Research Excellence And Technological Enterprise (CREATE) pro- gramme. I want to express my gratitude for giving me the chance of being part of this project and supporting me in my research. I want to thank Prof. Dr. Thomas Hamacher for giving me the opportunity to write this thesis under his supervision.

  • Gas Vehicle Guide December 2010
    Gas Vehicle Guide December 2010 Table of contents 1 Introduction 5 2 Passenger vehicles 9 3 Light transport 117 vehicles 1. Introduction The Gas Vehicle Guide has been developed as part of the ADORE IT project (Adolescence for Renewable Energies in Transport), where the municipality of Östersund co-operates with partners from the Netherlands, Italy, Norway, Estonia and Romania. In Östersund, the goal is to increase the use of eco-friendly vehicles using renewable fuels. The project period is 2008 to 2011. This global guide to gas/CNG vehicles has been developed with a base in the ongoing establishment of biogas as a vehicle fuel, together with our ambition to help establish a rapid market development in our region and on a national level. The presentation of an unbiased and comprehensive information on the availability of gas vehicles is an important component in this work. The guide gives an overview to the gas vehicles available on the global market for the model year 2011. Here you are able to find vehicle prices, technical data such as range on CNG, safety information, links to further reading, official contact information and much more. This guide can work as a reference for municipalities, private and public institutions and individuals who are interested in acquiring gas vehicles, or who simply want to be informed about of the availability. This is the first edition of the guide published in English. We have never seen such an extensive guide to gas vehicles as this, nevertheless it is certainly not complete. We value all contributions on mistakes and missing data/models in the guide.

  • User Friendly Taxis Modifying and Developing the Design

Current vehicles are not satisfactory in terms of providing adequate comfort and safety because their design is not suitable for usage as a taxi. This thesis highlights these differences in order to create a more sufficient approach to the taxi design. Besides trying to increase the comfort, safety and functionality of the taxis, this study also concentrates on the ease of the reuse of the mechanical parts of the existing taxis which will provide additional economic gains for owners or drivers of the vehicles. Furthermore, less repair time and less repair cost will be beneficial for the owners and the drivers; and also, standardization of all the vehicles will bring a more civilized and modern appearance to the cities.

  • Ulm University Techno-Economic Evaluation of Battery-Electric Taxis
    Ulm University Institute of Sustainable Corporate Management Techno-Economic Evaluation of Battery-Electric Taxis Technisch-ökonomische Analyse von batterie-elektrischen Taxis Dipl.-Wirtsch.-Ing. Robert Peter Kochhan Dissertation presented to the Faculty of Mathematics and Economics of Ulm University in support of the degree of Doctor of Economics and Management (Ph.D.) Doktor der Wirtschaftswissenschaften (Dr. rer. pol.) Dean of the Faculty: Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Alexander Lindner Chairperson of the Doctoral Committee: Prof. Dr. rer. pol. Sandra Ludwig Supervisors: 1. Prof. Dr. rer. pol. Martin Müller, Ulm University 2. Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Thomas Hamacher, Technical University of Munich Graduation: 7th of November 2017 “Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever. “ (Mahatma Gandhi) I Abstract For large cities, focussing on public transportation is crucial in order to limit congestions and to meet the mobility requirements of a growing urban population. In addition, locally emission-free battery-electric vehicles have the potential to make urban transport cleaner. However, many past studies about electric vehicles focus on private vehicles. Costs and user acceptance are essential for the adoption of electric vehicles. Comparing both costs and acceptance in the same environment at the same time is necessary to get a complete image of the viability of the new technology. Previous studies however mainly investigate either the actual costs of electric vehicles or the user acceptance. Thus, this work complements existing literature by investigating the viability of battery- electric taxi vehicles in an urban environment. For the study, data from the city state of Singapore was used where taxis are considered an important part of the public transportation system.
