Transition to Electrical Vehicles Based on Multi-Attribute Decision Making

This paper presents application of multi-attribute decision making applied in a large public institution, to make strategic choice about new mobility technology. Electrical vehicles are becoming important parts of all vehicles product portfolios. Based on their advantages, many users are making transitions and replacing internal combustion engine vehicles with electrical vehicles. Considering a large number of vehicles, with various features, which are currently available on the market, and specific users' requirements, it is often required to apply a comprehensive decision making model in order to select the best solution. In the project presented here, decision making process and methodology used by the Institution, is highlighted. Final decision is based on the knowledge of the previous solution, already executed by one organization with similar operational requirements, and on inputs from internal departments which placed their preferences on various features of several models of electrical vehicles.
