First and Last Miles by Cargo Bikes: Ecological Commitment or Economically Feasible? The Case of a Parcel Service Company in Paris

Antoine Robichet et al.

Summary: Urban logistics is a crucial step in distribution chains, but it also brings about negative externalities and challenges city sustainability. Various approaches are being explored to redesign urban logistics, however, their economic and environmental implications are yet to be fully understood. This study compares the financial sustainability of cargo bikes with electric light commercial vehicles, using real data. The findings suggest that cargo bike solutions can be more economically efficient when a few micro hubs are strategically located in high-demand areas.

More than walking and cycling: What is 'active travel'?

Simon Cook et al.

Summary: In this paper, the concept of active travel is explored through a systematic review of research in the last 15 years. The authors suggest expanding the definition of active travel to include other modes of transportation that involve sustained physical exertion. A thematic review is provided to discuss the implications and characteristics of these wider active modes. The paper concludes with a discussion on the potential implications of this expanded definition for policy, practice, and research in transportation.

Identifying double energy vulnerability: A systematic and narrative review of groups at-risk of energy and transport poverty in the global north

Neil Simcock et al.

Summary: The concept of 'double energy vulnerability' refers to the heightened risk of energy poverty and transport poverty simultaneously. This paper reviews academic literature to identify socio-demographic and spatial factors that contribute to this vulnerability. Findings show that certain groups such as low-income individuals, older people, households with dependents, people with health conditions or disabilities, women, and ethnic minorities are more vulnerable, while urban areas are more at risk for energy poverty and suburban areas for transport poverty, with rural areas showing the greatest vulnerability overlap.

Rethinking the Multi-level Perspective for energy transitions: From regime life-cycle to explanatory typology of transition pathways

Laur Kanger

Summary: This paper introduces new theoretical concepts based on the Multi-level Perspective framework, including the use of a "regime life-cycle model" and "property space" approach to explain transition pathways and processes in systems. These concepts help establish a common analytical core, propose new research questions, and provide practical methodological guidance for further research.
