WHETHER THE DEVELOPMENT OF ELECTROMOBILITY POSITIVELY INFLUENCES THE QUALITY OF TRANSPORT SERVICES IN CITIES - CRITICAL ANALYSIS

Interest in electromobility among the public has been growing over the last years. In order to determine the impact of the development of electric cars on the quality of urban transport services, factors that may affect the transport of passengers and cargo and related facilities or disadvantages should be analysed. The article presents electromobility characteristics and analyses of conditions related to this modernization. The shortcomings and risks of what is often referred to as the technology of the future - electromobility - are also presented

IS ELECTROMOBILITY IN THE SUPPLY NETWORK A GOOD WAY TO INCREASE INNOVATION?

Interest in electromobility among the public has been growing in recent years. In order to determine the impact of the development of electromobility on the increase in supply network innovation, the situation of the potential use of electric vehicles in the supply network should be analysed, presenting their advantages and disadvantages. The article presents the characteristics of an innovative company operating in the supply network, referring to the electrification of transport. It then presents the electric vehicles currently available on the market for carrying loads, as well as the factors determining the level of innovation of the company in the supply network. The aim of global companies is to minimise the negative impact on the environment through the use of electromobile solutions.Interest in electromobility among the public has been growing in recent years.

MANAGING SUPPLY NETWORKS BASED ON THE SMART CITY CONCEPT – A REVIEW OF GOOD PRACTICES

The aim of the article was to present solutions of the Smart City concept, which can also have a real impact on the management of supply networks. One of the two main grounds that make up the Smart City concept are human potential and technological potential, whose components are divided into six functional dimensions. Effective and reliable city management and supply network management depends on a well-chosen strategy and methods used. Benefits and effects of city management based on the Smart City concept can be seen in the ranking of the most intelligent cities. A city has its own centre, and in the case of a supply network, such a centre can be a city that has to cooperate so that the various processes carried out by the various links in the supply chain pass through it correctly, giving mutual benefits.The aim of the article was to present solutions of the Smart City concept, which can also have a real impact on the management of supply networks.

Barriers and Prospects for the Development of Renewable Energy Sources in Poland during the Energy Crisis

Europe is currently facing the potentially biggest energy crisis in history. There are many reasons for this, and the current geopolitical situation makes it clear that we are being forced to take immediate action to ensure sufficient energy supplies to consumers. Until recently, the European Union was dependent on Russian energy resources (mainly oil and gas). For many years, the EU countries had been shutting down their own production and importing much cheaper raw material from Russia. The threat of a blackout is becoming increasingly possible. European governments are preparing businesses and households for the energy crisis in various ways, but there is also a great deal of mobilization to accelerate the development of renewable energy sources (RES). The aim of this study was to identify the barriers and prospects for RES development in Poland in the current geopolitical conditions. The reasons for insufficient grid HC were analyzed. Additionally, the article aimed to assess the prospects for solar energy development in Poland. Wind power was discussed only in general terms because the development of wind farms is inhibited by the regulatory framework. Particular attention was paid to hosting capacity (HC) and the condition of the power infrastructure as the main determinants of RES development in Poland. Numerous documents developed by power companies and government agencies responsible for implementing and managing energy in Poland were analyzed. Special attention was paid to legal regulations and the need for legislative changes. As a country, Poland has one of the highest growth rates in photovoltaic (PV) installations. The forecasts for increasing HC, as a prerequisite for RES development in Poland, are not promising
