Abstract: A comparative environmental assessment of electric and traditional light-duty vehicles has been performed in the present study. The analysis has focused on an aspect that has often been overlooked in electric mobility Life Cycle Assessments: the transport of goods in urban environments. The analysis has been performed using primary data from the manufacturer for the production of light-duty vehicles and an ad hoc kinematic model for the use phase.
