Exploring the World of Electric Mobility: Key Concepts and Strategies

Learn how e-mobility can help create sustainable cities

Electric mobility is crucial for making urban transport greener and more sustainable. But with recommendations and policies on electric vehicles evolving rapidly, it can be hard to know what’s what in the world of e-mobility.

This six-week course from the Transformative Urban Mobility Initiative (TUMI) provides a comprehensive overview of issues relating to electric mobility.

Covering tech, policy, and environmental perspectives, you’ll gain the expertise you need to understand and develop mobility solutions for sustainable cities.

Understand the technology behind electric vehicles

You’ll start the course by learning how electric vehicles like buses, bicycles and cars are constructed and powered.

You’ll review the technical components of e-mobility, from the raw materials in batteries to charging modes and infrastructure.

Explore the social and environmental impact of e-mobility

Once you’ve understood how electric vehicles operate, you’ll explore their global social and environmental impact.

You’ll assess the costs and benefits of e-mobility, considering issues like energy consumption, battery recycling, and gender equity in transport.

You’ll examine case studies showing how innovations in e-mobility have helped make transport systems around the world more sustainable.

Discuss policy and development perspectives

Last but not least, you’ll review government policies and implementation strategies concerning e-mobility, with a focus on emerging economies.

You’ll discuss how electric vehicles can be harnessed to create more liveable cities and a greener economy.

By the end of the course, you’ll have an in-depth understanding of issues around electric mobility. With that expertise, you’ll be able to play a role in developing sustainable transport solutions all around the world.

This course is designed for anyone interested in learning more about electric mobility and its social, environmental, and commercial impacts.

It will be particularly useful for researchers, policy-makers and representatives in transport authorities or civil society organisations; as well as industry practitioners including urban planners, architects, and transport professionals.
