2 Motivation of the ENUBA project - Elektromobilität bei schweren Nutzfahrzeugen zur Umweltenlastung von Ballungsräumen 1 Road-freight emissions are a major challenge Freight traffic in Europe is expected to double upon 2050 Goal of the EU-Commission: Reduce CO 2 -Emission to 80% of 1990 level by 2050 Logistics optimization and capacity investment of rail system cannot significantly reduce heavy duty road transport Heavy duty road transport is responsible for a third of overall transportationrelated CO 2 -emissions technical solutions are still absent An electric alternative is missing 1 Translation: Electromobility for heavy commercial vehicles to decrease environmental pollution in urban agglomerations Page

3 Electrified logistics concepts comprise external power supply and on-board storage systems Overview alternative concepts External power supply On-board storage Contactless Conductive Electricity Alternative fuel Linear s. motor concepts Ground based contact line Fuel cell Inductive power supply Overhead contact line Capacitors Battery Page

4 The ehighway system combines mature technology with an open range of drive train technologies Operation systems Rail electrification Operation system Road electrification Hybrid vehicles Parallel hybrid Serial hybrid Electric / automated vehicles Any type of combustion engines On-board equipment or Full electric vehicles Intelligent traffic solutions Smart roads Full electric operation No restrictions in recharging schemes Reduced storage requirements Page

7 ehighway electrification of hybrid trucks via an overhead catenary system ehighway system description Siemens ehighway An approach to electrified heavy duty road transport, which reduces emissions, is economically feasible and efficient Optimized efficiency due to direct energy transmission Energy recuperation and exchange between decelerating and accelerating trucks, excess brake energy feed-in into power grid possible Safety of catenary system operation has been proven in various road traffic applications (e.g. trolley buses, tramways) Experiences from rail and tramway underline extensive life-cycles and low operation and maintenance costs Swift integration into existing traffic infrastructure and no concessions on operation of alternative vehicles Page

8 ehighway is developing quickly and is ready for commercial use in near future Recent publicity Current status Signed first development cooperation with significant OEM Test track 2,1 km with road realistic conditions including curves, sign post, etc and equiped with traffic managment systems (SCADA) Page Next steps Vehicles designed specifically for ehighway and commercial use available First demonstration on public road and/or commercial use project (e.g. USA or Sweden)

9 Main ehighway applications include shuttle as well as mine transport and long-haul traffic Potential ehighway applications ehighway application fields Shuttle transport Solution for high frequency shuttle transport over short and medium distances (<50km) Lower fuel consumption and longer lifetime Reduction of air and noise pollution Electrified mine transport Connection of pits and mines to storage or transit locations Minimization of harmful emissions Sustainable, clean and economical mine operation Electrified long-haul traffic Economical and sustainable alternative for road freight transport Significant reduction of CO 2 emissions Substantial cost savings for freight carriers Page

10 Challenges for port cities Ports serve as an economic driver for the city and the region. In the past freight volumes have grown faster than GDP. A key challenge in realizing the benefits of trade is to overcome the environmental impacts from transport. For many ports this environmental challenge is primarily about improving air quality. Source: Herman Journée & Patrick Verhoeven: ESPO / EcoPorts Environmental Review (2009) Much of air pollution comes from the road freight in and out of port area Road-freight emissions are a challenge for port cities Page
