| Abstract | Electromobility can be one of many solutions to the environmental challenge facing society nowadays, and the dissemination of policies towards the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) urges the development of studies to assess their actual benefits in contrast to both conventional and other alternative technologies. This work proposes an optimization model to evaluate the influence of the selected parameters in the economic and environmental dimensions of different vehicle technologies and the optimal fleet composition for small-scale car sharing. The model is applied to car sharing system VAMO, located in Fortaleza (Brazil), and the decision variables comprise pure electric (BEV), plug-in hybrid (PHEV) and internal combustion engine (ICEV) vehicles. Baseline results are strongly influenced by the economic dimension, showing that existing infrastructure and well-established technology are great advantages for ICEVs and major barriers for EVs. In that sense, ethanol arises as a balanced alternative between costs and emissions. However, EVs represent a strong environmental appeal considering global emissions and local pollutants and even with economic losses in the short-term, investments in electromobility could come out as a positioning strategy in a future business with strong perspectives of growth, be it technological or in market share. The results suggest that all vehicle technologies will play an important role during this transition period to a desired sustainable mobility. |
