Electrified urban commercial vehicles integration with fast charging infrastructure

Electrified urban commercial vehicles integration with fast charging infrastructure

ASSURED fast and Smart charging solutions for full size Urban heavy Duty applications 769850-ASSURED-H2020-GV-2017 Project will develop innovative heavy-duty and medium-duty vehicle solutions with interoperable charging infrastructure concepts, enhancing performances, comfort and safety while reducing the TCO and contributing to a competitive and sustainable mobility. Period: October 2017 - September 2021 (4 years) Project total cost: EUR 23,648,132.51/ EU contribution: EUR 18,657,433.06 Partners: 39 partners from 12 countries representing industry, research centres and local governments 2

Market potential 3

But still several issues to solve Charging solutions are limited up to 450kW and do not have any interoperable or standardised interfaces yet Impact on the grid stability is still not well known Energy management strategies are typically applied on vehicle level and not on fleet Impact on the battery lifetime is still not clearly known 4

Project Objectives Development of next generation modular high-power charging solutions (up to 600kW) interoperable and scalable high-power charging solutions innovative charging management strategies standardised conformance and interoperability test protocol efficient wireless charging solutions Demonstration of efficient wireless charging solutions (up to 100kW) ASSURED solutions (6 public buses at TRL 7) in EU cities Evaluation and improvement of the cost, energy efficiency, impact of grid Support to the standardisation bodies (i.e. CEN-CENELEC, ISO, IEC) 5

Project phases Operational specifications & requirements and city needs PHASE 0 Standardisation support & Development of Conformance/Interoperability Test Framework Interoperability and conformance tests of charging solutions PHASE I Use cases (6 HD urban buses) PHASE II User Acceptance & Demonstration in Cities Evaluation of Use Cases and Demonstration PHASE III 6

Innovation (Phase 0 & I) Close interaction with PTO s/pta s, OEMs, CSP Future Cities, PTO s and PTA s needs Translation in technical and technological solutions Support to future tenders Demonstration Training Standardisation Development of next generation modular highpower charging solutions (up to 600kW) Interoperable and scalable high power charging solutions Innovative charging management strategies to improve TCO Evaluation of the cost, energy efficiency, impact of grid 7

Innovation: 6 Use Cases HD e-buses (Phase II) Turin/Lyon Jaworzno Goteborg Helmond Bayonne Castejón 8

Innovation: 3 Demonstrators for User Acceptance (Phase III) Barcelona & Osnabruck Goteborg Interoperability between buses and chargers of different brands, on vehicles in real operations Interoperability between bus and urban trucks Eindhoven Smart charging for fleet upscale 9

Innovation: Smart charging management for fleet upscale (Phase III) 2 cities (Eindhoven & Jaworzno) Fleet up to 100 buses Impact on grid and battery lifetime Optimization of TCO 10

Innovation (Phase III) Business models Development of business models taking into consideration social, economical and environmental impact. Development of effective and efficient Deployment Strategies as guidelines - for cities, PTO s and PTA s for large fleets

Innovation (Phase III) Training and dissemination Spreading ASSURED identity and results to wider audience through publications, trainings, social media channels, website Training to the city and freight operators on the technological and market evolution in electric HDvehicles field 12
