The methodology is carried out through an analysis of the historical route of the trolleybus in Valparaiso, followed by an analysis of the energy efficiency of this means of transport compared to other options. It is concluded that promoting green mobility does turn out to be amechanism for the development of sustainable cities and environmental sustainability, as observed in the case of the Valparaiso tram. |
