Electric mobility, intelligent and integrated mobility Annick Roetynck (AVERE) Florian Kressler (AustriaTech)

Why (Light) Electric Vehicles? Improvement public health Zero direct emissions Less noise Independency from fossil fuel Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions Energy-saving & energy efficiency Contribution to and greening of economy Overall improvement quality of life

Types of Electric Vehicles E-cars – Hybrid – Plug-in hybrid – Battery Light Electric Vehicles – E-bikes – Electric L-category vehicles – Self-balancing & scooters without seat – New types E-buses

Deployment Large regional differences Number of vehicles Types of vehicles BEV and PHEV sales in 2013 in selected countries and the marketshare of EVs among passenger car sales

Becoming an (L)EV City Barriers for(L) EVs – High costs – Range limitations – Lack of charging & parking infrastructure – Lack of space on the road – Lack of awareness & political will – Static public behaviour City key actors for deployment of (L)EVs

Step 1 – Assess potential Availability Wider policy target Maximise benefits Integration Municipal influence

Step 2 – Involve stakeholder Municipality Users Operators Manufacturers Electricity suppliers Research European institutions, national/regional government

Step 3 – Measures Public purchasing Monetary / Non-monetary incentives Support development of charging/parking infrastructure Additional infrastructure & facilities Integration of (L)Evs in urban mobility Awareness-raising

Step 4 – Formulate Strategy Realistic but ambitious Define fields of action Suggest concrete, practical measures Determine how results will be measured

Barcelona – Example EV platform LIVE in 2009 – Coordinate e-mobility plans – Disseminate information – Raise awareness Extended in 2014

Barcelona – Activities Tax reduction Free parking Access to HOV lanes Parking spaces Guide for use of EVs

Barcelona – Activities Municipal fleet Public transport Charging stations Taxis Sharing

(L)EV – part of bigger picture Existing transport network Public transport Individual motorized / non-motorized transport

Information Information backbone of modern network management Integrated transport Different modes and operators New players

Information Services Traffic information Sharing Parking Charging station Booking Ticketing Traffic management Etc.

Public transport Integral part of any modern urban transport system Integration with all other modes Playing to strength of each mode

Behavioural Change Rethinking mobility Using vs. Owning Changing established mobility patterns

Urban transport policy Keeping mobility accessible Environment Quality of life Support modal shift Internalization of external costs

Barriers Technological Institutional Political Legal User acceptance Privacy and Security

Summary Electric vehicles part of the future transport system Opportunity to rethink mobility Institute behavioural change
