| dc.description.abstract | Abstract
The need for more sustainable transport methods have been highlighted due to
challenges such as traffic congestion, greenhouse gas emissions and pollution in
urban areas. The shared electric scooters have become increasingly popular and
have been promoted as a solution to the mentioned problems. However, this type
of micromobility has been prone to criticism and the demand for stricter
regulations has intensified. This master thesis applies the Green Innovation Value
Chain (GIVC) as a framework for analyzing the environmental and financial
performance across the links of five stakeholder: manufacturer, distributor,
customer, government and environment. In this case, the shared e-scooters are
compared with the more conventional alternative, public transit. From the results,
we conclude that public transit is more attractive, both financially and
environmentally, than e-scooters. Especially for the governments and the
customers, as well as the environment, e-scooter proves to not be comparable with
public transit.
