Licentiate thesis: Sustainable personal road transport – the role of electric vehicles

On April 15, Sven Borén presented his licentiate thesis that primarily found a methodological support for sustainable community planning and transport. The thesis also found a vision for sustainable transport, an initial development plan towards that, and sustainability effects and barriers/enablers for an increase of electric vehicles. The strategic sustainable development perspective of this thesis broadens the analysis beyond the more common focus on climate change issues and reduces the risk of sub-optimizations in community and transport system development. The generic support for multi-stakeholder collaboration could potentially also promote a more participatory democratic approach to community development, grounded in a scientific foundation. Future research will explore specific decision support systems for sustainable transport development based on the generic planning process model.

Sven would like to thank supervisors Henrik, Göran and Prof. Louise Trygg (LiU) for there invaluable support to this thesis, and also Prof. Karl-Henrik Robèrt and PhD student Lisiana Nurhadi for great co-creation in included papers. Jamil and the seminar audience posted valuable and interesting questions that will be considered for further research towards PhD.
