To date, the automotive industry remains the locomotive of the global economy, despite its diversity. Electric vehicle technology plays a vital role as its production and use increase in many cities around the world, which will undoubtedly impact human behavior in the future. Therefore, this work adopts an in-depth descriptive-comparative...

This paper investigates the potential of a novel, infrastructure-integrated photovoltaic/thermal (IIPV/T) system for winter road maintenance, using the Samuel De Champlain Bridge in Montreal as a case study. Vertically mounted bifacial PVT panels are integrated into the bridge’s side barriers, serving a dual role as wind protection structures and clean...

This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the development, industrial production, and operational deployment of electric buses in international transportation, with particular attention to the standardization of electric vehicle (EV) battery technologies through a modular rapid-replacement principle. The ongoing transition from internal combustion engine vehicles to electrified transport systems reflects...
