3 Emerging Technologies for more sustainable mobility

The path to decarbonizing transportation is a priority in the fight against climate change. In this context, companies play a crucial role, especially those in the transportation sector, as they are among the largest emitters of greenhouse gases (GHGs).

In this article, we will discuss three emerging technologies that can drive the transition to more sustainable mobility.

Electric mobility: Electric and hybrid vehicles

Electric vehicles (EVs) are at the forefront of the revolution toward sustainable mobility. Battery-powered electric motors eliminate direct greenhouse gas emissions, making them a key tool to combat air pollution and reduce dependence on fossil fuels.

At Manglai, our emissions calculation module can help you quantify the impact of integrating electric vehicles into your fleet, considering both direct emissions (Scope 1) and indirect emissions related to the electricity generation used for charging (Scope 2).

Hybrid vehicles: A step toward full electrification

Hybrid vehicles combine an internal combustion engine with an electric motor, reducing fuel consumption and pollutant emissions.

Within this category, there are different types of hybrids:

• Mild hybrids (MHEV): Use the electric motor to support the combustion engine.
• Plug-in hybrids (PHEV): Can travel significant distances in fully electric mode.

Developing charging infrastructure for electric mobility

The availability of public and private charging points is critical to reducing users' "range anxiety" and encouraging widespread adoption of EVs.

With Manglai’s interactive dashboards, you can visualize the geographic distribution of your vehicles and strategically plan the installation of charging points to optimize fleet efficiency and minimize emissions associated with travel.

What is Smart Charging and why is it important?

Smart charging optimizes the charging process for electric vehicles by taking advantage of lower electricity rates and minimizing the impact on the power grid.

Our data analysis and personalized recommendations features help you implement smart charging strategies, reducing costs and contributing to energy system stability.

Energy storage technologies for vehicle autonomy and efficiency

Battery energy density is a critical factor for the range of electric vehicles. Research on high-voltage lithium-ion batteries aims to increase energy storage capacity, enabling EVs to travel longer distances on a single charge.

At Manglai, we can help you monitor your fleet's battery performance and quantify the impact of new energy storage technologies on reducing your carbon footprint.

Beyond lithium: New energy storage technologies

Research into alternative energy storage technologies, such as solid-state batteries and redox flow batteries, opens up new possibilities for the future of electric mobility. These technologies promise higher energy density, faster charging times, and longer lifespans.
