1 BSEC - Berlin Seminar on Energy and Climate Policy Closing the gap between research and action: zero carbon transport is achievable but there is not much sign of delivery Oliver Lah, Wuppertal Institute

2 Urban Electric Mobility Initiative (UEMI) Initiated by UN Habitat and SOLUTIONS the Urban Electric Mobility Vehicles Initiative (UEMI) aims to: Decreasing urban CO 2 emissions by increasing the market share of electric vehicles in cities to 30% of annual vehicle sales (incl. LDV and motorized 2-3 wheelers) Integrate electric mobility into a wider concept of sustainable urban transport that achieves a 30% reduction of GHG emissions in urban areas by 2030 The UEMI was launched at the UN Climate Summit in New York in September 2014 Eltis, UN secretariat@uemi.net

3 UEMI partners and actions The UEMI is an international partnership that supports the: Deployment of electric mobility and sustainable transport by: Feasibility studies Knowledge sharing events Development of project proposals Identify key innovations and examine transferability For selected cities implementation concepts will be developed, including: Technical and political feasibility Finance (scalable projects, starting with pilots) Integration in existing activities (added value of the solutions)

4 Integrated approach to e-mobility E-mobility as part of a balanced sustainable urban mobility concept Avoid: reduce travel activity or reduce growth in activity Shift: change travel structure through shifts to different modes of travel Improve: lower vehicle energy intensity and reduce fuel carbon intensity 4

5 Potential of an integrated approach higher level of socio-economic and cost effectiveness co-benefits, such as air quality, traffic congestion, safety and overall societal mobility 5

6 Key factors for low-carbon e- mobility Currently the well-to-wheel carbon intensity varies greatly among countries/regions. When electricity and hydrogen in plug-in and fuel cell vehicles reach a substantial market share, they can serve strongly to decrease the average LDV fuel carbon intensity after 2035 Source: IEA 6

7 E-mobility for carsharing and public transport fleets Public procurement as enabler Direct control or indirect through contracts Leadership role and test-bed for good practice Different options for e-mobility Source: Eltis 7

8 Different options for e-mobility Low carbon taxi fleets E-tricycles in India and the Philippines (locally produced e-trikes) Electric taxis in Shenzhen Source: ADB 2011

9 Different options for e-mobility Electric two-wheelers Rapid growth of electric twowheelers in particular in China driven by regulation At the peak there were over 150 million electric two-wheelers on the road in China Growing safety issues: the Black Death Now electric scooters are going to be banned in many cities for saftey reasons Source: ADB 2011

10 Different options for e-mobility Basic requirements Standardised charging infrastructure Battery costs (currently $485/kW/h) and materials Battery replacement and recycing Source: Eltis

11 Registration management and number plate auctions Limit a city s vehicle fleet by linking carownership to possession of some form of permit Limit on the number of vehicles by charging a fee for vehicle ownership potentially differentiated by emissions/fuel-economy Create a disincentive for vehicle ownership to discourage vehicle ownership and/or encourage the adoption of cleaner vehicles, Examples from Shanghai, Singapore and Beijing

12 Fuel economy standards Improve the fuel economy of the newvehicle fleet Limits CO 2 emissions per kilometre travelled Usually implemented at national level Improve vehicle (ICE) technologies and eventually shifts to alternative propulsion technologies City authorities can work with the national level towards fuel economy standards and implementcorresponding localmeasures

13 Low Emission Zones Limit access to a specific areas (e.g. the city centre) for vehicles below certain emission standards Enforcement for LEZs either through video surveillance (as found in London) and visual control by local police (in Germany) Improvement in air quality in the exclusion zone risk of trade-offs with regard to energy (redirected trips)

14 Clean vehicles in public transport Shiftfrom conventional fuelled vehicles (petrol and diesel) to alternative fuels such as electric, hybrid electric or natural gas can reduce local air pollution and GHG emission from public transport operation Electric busesorplug-in hybrid electric busesare more expensive than diesel buses especially due to the battery costs, which are expected to decrease in future Due to the higher efficiency of an electric motor and the potential to recapture breaking energy, energy consumption of an electric bus is on average 75 per cent lower compared to a diesel bus

15 A balanced approach is vital for success Stronger shifts to low-carbon modes, such as public transport and non-motorized trasport would require less effort with regard to lowcarbon technology and fuel uptake If travel demand is lower, fuel and technology switch targets are easier to achieve A balanced approach inludes: reduction of travel demand and foster modal shifts (Avoid/Shift) AND improvements in vehicle technology and fuels (Improve) Source: Eltis 15

17 Take-up cities

18 City actions Recent updates from take-up cities Belo-Horizonte, Brazil: The pilot project in Belo Horizonte started with a low speed (30 km/h) zone and dedicated cycling zone! Kochi, India The first car-free day in Kochi (India) to raise awareness for sustainable transportation Development of a emobility pilot zone as part of a Smart Cities project!
