Analyzing the impacts of last mile mobility and studying the implementation of alternative vehicles in Swedish cities

Abstract

[ES] El aumento de la población de las ciudades y el auge del comercio electrónico están incrementando el transporte de mercancías y personas. Esto puede generar problemas como atascos, aumento de la contaminación y disminución del nivel de vida de los ciudadanos. Para reducir los impactos negativos, se podría realizar un cambio en la movilidad de última milla, sustituyendo los vehículos de combustión por otros eléctricos o, idealmente, por bicis y bicis de carga. Esta tesis examina el caso de las ciudades suecas de Gävle y Uppsala, tratando de explicar cómo afecta la última milla a la vida de sus habitantes, si se están implantando (o no) los vehículos eléctricos y las bicicletas de carga, y por qué; y cómo pueden las autoridades promover su uso. Para ello, tras una revisión bibliográfica, se desarrolla una serie de preguntas y se entrevista a siete funcionarios: cinco de Gävle y dos de Uppsala. El estudio muestra que los gestores de las ciudades son conscientes de los impactos que la última milla, y el transporte en general, tienen sobre sus habitantes, y de la necesidad de un cambio hacia una movilidad más sostenible. A pesar de ser conscientes, los responsables políticos no están haciendo todo lo posible para acelerar la transición. Según los responsables de la ciudad, tanto el sector público como el privado abogan más por un cambio de fuente de energía (de vehículos de combustión a eléctricos) que por un cambio de modelo utilizando bicicletas de carga. Además, el estudio muestra las oportunidades que puede ofrecer el nuevo modelo basado en vehículos no tradicionales y las barreras que impiden su implantación. Por último, se proponen diferentes medidas que podrían hacer más sostenibles las ciudades.

[EN] The growing population of cities and the rise of e-commerce are increasing the transportation of both goods and people. This can generate problems such as traffic jams, increased pollution, and lower living standards for citizens. To reduce the negative impacts, a change in last mile mobility could be made, replacing traditional combustion vehicles with electric ones or, ideally, with bikes and cargo bikes. This thesis examines the case of the Swedish cities of Gävle and Uppsala, trying to explain how the last mile affects the lives of their inhabitants, if and why electric vehicles and cargo bikes are implemented (or not), and how authorities can promote their use. For this purpose, after a literature review, some questions were developed, and seven city managers were interviewed: five from Gävle and two from Uppsala. The study shows that city managers are aware of the impacts that the last mile, and mobility in general, has on its inhabitants, and of the need for a shift towards a more sustainable mobility. Despite this awareness, policy makers are not doing everything possible to accelerate the transition. According to city managers, both the public and private sector advocate more for a change of energy source (from combustion to electric vehicles) rather than a model change using bikes. In addition, the study shows the opportunities that the new model based on non-traditional vehicles can offer and the barriers that prevent its implementation. Finally, different measures that could make cities more sustainable are proposed.
