Use of electromobility and autonomous vehicles at airports in Europe and worldwide

The need to use electric vehicles is becoming more and more apparent. Today, airports need to be connected to cities and regions by different modes of transport (car sharing, taxis, buses, trains, bicycles, etc.) to compete successfully and grow their business. As more and more passengers travel to and from the airport, roads become more congested and car parking spaces are rarer and more expensive. Concerns about road congestion and more difficult finding of parking space for a car significantly increase the level of stress for passengers. Electric and autonomous vehicles could offer an additional service to fill the gaps in the market for current mobility solutions and make airport transport more efficient and environmentally friendly. Of course, this also applies to transport from the city to the airport and from the airport to the city. Several examples of the use of electric and autonomous vehicles at airports in Europe and around the world are described in this paper. The paper also briefly describes the charging systems of electric vehicles.
