1 Mobilità sostenibile per le flotte aziendali Summary - CO 2 production in Italy - Battery electric vehicles - ECOPOLIS project

2 CO 2 production from cars in Italy One gasoline liter generates kg of CO 2 One diesel liter generates kg of CO 2 Average yearly fuel consumption per car in Italy Gasoline: 708 liters Diesel: 1311 liters Average carbon emission from an Italian car: 2148 kg of CO 2 = 586 kg of carbon equivalent.

3 The urban century The year 2007 proved to be a pivotal moment in the long history of urbanisation; In the year 2007 more than 50 percent of the world population was living in urban areas. The structural urban development is still continuing. In less than one generation time, more than two thirds of the population on our planet will live in urbanised areas. In Europe but also in other regions of our world the urbanisation rate is expected to rise to 83 percent (557 million) by the year 2050 (European Commission 2010) gradually making non-urbanites a minority.

4 Battery electric vehicles Pure electric traction is the optimal solution in terms of environmental sustainability, if electricity comes from non-fossil sources. Zero local emissions Reduced maintenance costs Present barrier to widespread introduction of EVs is in battery technology: Low specific energy: limited range High costs Long recharging times

7 The future for electric vehicles The solution of the current limitations that hinder the diffusion of electric vehicles will not come from further technological evolution of storage system, but in the development of appropriate infrastructure. Vehicle-infrastructure approach, as it was for railways network.

9 ECOPOLIS by Arval Ecopolis is a container of eco - initiatives aimed at sustainable development. A project that involves all stakeholders Arval: Employees Customers Suppliers Public Administrations Society

10 ECOPOLIS by Arval Real opportunities for the fleets market, Being the first to give a concrete example of the development of sustainable mobility in this business, Real reductions in emissions of CO2 and pollutant emissions.

11 ECOPOLIS by Arval Role of Expert Advice: Identification of the type of use, Create a hire proposal that meets the effective use of the vehicle, Choosing a better propulsion.

12 Target: Università degli Studi di Firenze ECOPOLIS by Arval Large (and public) fleets, Low mileage (no more than 10,000 km per year). Use of vehicle: Return of the vehicles in the evening, in the company areas for charging, Access to the Urban Mobility (ZTL entry, reserved parking, reserved lanes...), Use for deliveries in urban areas (last mile), Use for night work without noise.

13 ECOPOLIS by Arval Currently the autonomy of electric cars is providing a range of about 100 to 130 km on one charge cycle. This is a limited autonomy? The type of use to which these cars are designed, is namely in urban areas. At European level, 3 of 4 drivers are traveling less than 60 km a day. In these cases, the autonomy guaranteed by an electric vehicle is not a real problem. The spread of charging infrastructure at home and at work would further facilitate the use of these vehicles.
