Abstract(s)

As part of the ongoing climate and energy framework, the European Commission raised recently the 2030 greenhouse gas emission reduction target, moving towards a climate-neutral economy. Transportation represents almost a quarter of Europe’s greenhouse gas emissions, and it is the remaining sector with increasing emissions, above 1990 levels. Considering also the evolving necessity for the reduction of fossil fuels dependency, Europe’s strategy has been designed to support an irreversible shift toward low-emission electric mobility. In this context, the present work assesses the performance of electric mobility in European countries, by using a dynamic analysis in the period 2015-2019, framed in four sustainable dimensions, economy, technology, environment and society. The methodology aggregates several sub-indicators in a composite indicator by using the Data Envelopment Analysis, and evaluates the dynamic change in the sustainable performance through the biennial Malmquist index. Main results indicate that the total productivity change has been improved mainly due to the progression of the frontier that has been observed for all countries from 2018. However, an increasing number of countries have had more difficulties to adopt the best sustainable electric mobility practices, being necessary to design strategies to promote them, mainly in underperforming countries.
