Abstract

Public transport systems in different parts of the world are currently undergoing a change characterised by the introduction of battery-powered electric buses in everyday operations. The introduction of electric buses brings new challenges such as high investment costs and technology concerns, as well as new forms of collaboration between both established and new actors. The aim of this paper is to disentangle different actors’ rationale for the transition, identifying underlying interests in and expectations of the electric bus system. With a focus on the Swedish context, we found that whilst common rationales exist, these are influenced by collective expectations and different underlying interests for the actor groups. We found that the interests of the actors are grounded in expectations of future developments, but also relate to the experience that the transition is occurring faster than previously anticipated. The results show a high degree of consensus regarding the transition to electric buses, although the actors have varying resources and action spaces with which to influence the transition, which is largely determined by the institutional and local context.

瑞典公共交通向电动公交车过渡的理由
世界各地的公共交通系统目前正在经历一场变革,其特点是在日常运营中引入了电池供电的电动公交车。电动公交车的引入带来了新的挑战,如高昂的投资成本和技术问题,以及现有和新参与者之间的新合作形式。本文的目的是理清不同参与者的转型理由,确定电动巴士系统的潜在利益和期望。通过对瑞典背景的关注,我们发现,虽然存在共同的理由,但这些理由受到集体期望和行为者群体不同潜在利益的影响。我们发现,行动者的利益是基于对未来发展的期望,但也与过渡速度比以前预期的更快的经验有关。结果显示,尽管行为者有不同的资源和行动空间来影响向电动公交车的过渡,但在向电动公交车过渡方面达成了高度共识,这在很大程度上取决于机构和地方背景。
