Abstract
This article discusses integrating electromobility into Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs) to reduce environmental impact, enhance accessibility, and improve public and energy security. Increasing urban populations and rising motorization rates necessitate transitioning from conventional combustion-engine vehicles to more sustainable alternatives, such as electric public transport and charging infrastructure for private vehicles.
The key elements of SUMPs include developing charging infrastructure for public and private transport, replacing traditional fleets with low and zero-emission vehicles, and designing efficient transport networks with ITS systems. In Poland, cities with over 50,000 inhabitants are required to achieve a 30% share of zero-emission or biomethane-powered buses by 2028, while cities with over 100,000 inhabitants will be mandated to purchase only zero-emission buses starting in 2026.
Energy security plays a crucial role in the successful implementation of electromobility. Ensuring a stable energy supply, integrating renewable energy sources, and implementing smart grid solutions with demand management systems are essential to prevent grid overloads during peak demand periods. The deployment of energy storage systems and decentralized power sources will further enhance the resilience of the power infrastructure.
The success of electromobility initiatives also depends on stakeholder engagement, public awareness campaigns, and financial incentives to promote the adoption of electric vehicles. SUMPs serve as strategic tools to achieve long-term sustainability and energy resilience in urban areas
