Baseline Assessment of Cost-Effectiveness
The cost-effectiveness analysis aims to evaluate the main resources employed against the overall benefits (both monetary and non-monetary) brought by each specific project under SP4.
Shared and Electric Mobility:
- Capex for shared e-cars, e-bikes, or other assets.
- Capex for charging points.
- Capex for local energy generation units (e.g., small PV installations for charging points).
- Operating costs in case of externalization of services (e.g., management of charging points or mobility assets).
- Costs of financing in case of loans or other kinds of financial support different from subsidies.
Logistic Hub:
- Capex for the acquisition of the logistics hub area (if not already owned) by the project promoter.
- Low operating costs (e.g., cleaning, security, etc.).
- Administrative costs for the management of contracts.
Shared and Electric Mobility:
- Fees from subscription models or usage fees to access the service.
- Revenues from advertising spaces on the mobility assets and charging units.
- Depending on local regulation, free parking for e-car owners.
- Decreased congestion of vehicles in the urban environment.
- Encourages the use of electric vehicles rather than fossil fuel ones.
- Reduced ownership of private vehicles.
- Improves air quality.
- Reduces commuting times.
- Improves physical and mental health.
Logistic Hub:
- Contractualized remuneration to logistics hub owners renting parking or other areas to logistics companies or other service providers.
- Reduced carbon footprint of logistics in urban centers.
- Easier logistics deliveries and stops in dense urban areas.
- Increased road safety due to lower circulation of heavy, polluting lorries and vehicles in general.
- Reduced noise pollution.
- Improves air quality.
This assessment highlights the balance between the costs incurred and the broad range of benefits achieved, showcasing the value of implementing shared and electric mobility solutions and logistics hubs in urban environments.
