Abstract
In order to follow the 1.5 degree path of the Paris Climate Agreement, drastic greenhouse gas reduction measures are needed in the transport sector. The potential of public transport and new mobility services to reduce transport-related greenhouse gas emissions cannot yet be fully exploited, especially in rural regions. This paper presents the concept of an innovative mobility system, called NeMo.bil, that intends to fill the gap between individual and public transport to create a demand-oriented and sustainable mobility offer. The concept is based on convoy formation of autonomously driving lightweight vehicles serving the first and last mile and a larger towing vehicle carrying enough power and energy to move the convoy over longer distances at higher speeds. This combination of two different vehicles, intelligently controlled by a digital ecosystem, aims to significantly increasing energy, resource and cost efficiency. Based on an analysis of previous approaches for innovative mobility solutions, the concept is derived from a technical and sociological perspective and its potential for reducing energy demand is calculated.
