Abstract: So far, electric vehicles have not become a wide-spread alternative for the long-time dominating diesel vehicles in urban logistics. If this is to be changed, it is important to identify logistics applications for electric vehicles which are not geographically limited, to understand what improves user acceptance and how to measure the attractiveness of electric vehicles for users. The aim of this research is to contribute to answering these questions, based on evidence from France and Germany. For this purpose, findings from empirical research carried out in the form of pilot studies and surveys in Germany is analysed as the basis for the identification of user acceptance. By means of a basic model data from research in France is analysed, in order to identify, in how far incentives, technical and market developments contribute to an improved attractiveness and hence spread of electromobility for urban logistics. Findings from the German pilots and the French data are combined and compared. In a comparative analysis it is discussed whether the thesis can be confirmed, that electromobility is or will be a valid alternative for urban logistics in general.
