3 3 FREIGHT TRANSPORT Roadborne freight transport is Straßen-Güter-Verkehrsaufwand growing steadily in Mrd. TKm o + 55 per cent growth in tonne kilometres from 1995 to 2010 in Germany 250 Gains in efficiency are more 200 than compensated 150 o Lower C02 emissions per 100 kilometre 50 Energy consumption per Tkm remains steady Verkehrsaufwand in Mrd.

5 5 PRESSING URBAN ISSUES LINKED TO FREIGHT TRANSPORT Fight climate change o 1/4 to 1/3 of local green house gas emissions (GHG) derive from vans and lorries Improve air quality o 1/2 of local air pollutants derive from vans and lorries o EU to fine cities with poor air quality by 2015 o WHO estimates a global 7 million premature deaths p.a. due to air pollution s c h e s I n s t i t u t

6 6 PRESSING URBAN ISSUES LINKED TO FREIGHT TRANSPORT Reduce noise pollution o 1/2 of local noise emissions derive from vans and lorries Redistribute urban space Improve road safety Reduce maintenance costs for local roads s c h e s I n s t i t u t

7 7 OPPORTUNITIES OF ELECTRIC VEHICLES EVs do not emit local GHG or air pollutants Noise emissions are lower at slow speeds Downsizing and other innovations in logistics can provide further benefits o o o reduced traffic less space required less strain on roads, Cost-driven businesses might adopt EVs once they are competitive CONSTRAINTS Limited availability of suited vehicles!!! Currently higher initial costs!!! n s t i t u t s c h e s I

8 8 WHAT CAN COMPANIES DO? Innovative HGV are being tested in Dortmund Credits: CWS boco s c h e s I n s t i t u t b a n i s t i k f ü r U r b Further information: Sebastian Stütz, Fraunhofer IML Dortmund

9 WHAT CAN COMPANIES DO? 9 s c h e s I n s t i t u t Credits: Deutsche Post Bonn EVs are already today a viable option for many delivery companies

10 10 WHAT CAN COMPANIES DO? b a n i s t i k f ü r U r b Credits: Caritas Dortmund E-bikes can use shortcuts and do not require parking Further information: Kerstin Pleus, Caritas Dortmund n s t i t u t s c h e s I

11 11 WHAT CAN COMPANIES DO? Booming e-cargo-bikes substitute motorized vehicles & cut down costs Further information: Johannes Gruber, DLR Berlin Credits: DLR Berlin s c h e s I n s t i t u t

15 15 WHAT CAN CITIES DO? Communicator Regulator Provider User Low emission zones 50 x in Germany, London, Delivery zones Dortmund Delivery times Jürgen Gies s c h e s I n s t i t u t

16 16 WHAT CAN CITIES DO? Communicator Regulator Provider Test vehicles Bremen, München Urban Hubs Berlin User s c h e s I n s t i t u t

18 18 CONCLUSIONS Yes, there are potential benefits for cities and businesses especially when considering city logistics, e-cargo-bikes, but they can be constricted by... a limited availability of suited EVs... a need to adapt business models and logistic concepts Still, cities can support this new technology if assessing cost-effectiveness from a local perspective designing reversible measures in case competitiveness of EVs rises taking further measures to improve urban freight transport into account s c h e s I n s t i t u t
