Methods to Curb Pollutant Emissions and Fuel Consumption (realized) (1) (at the disposal of Warsaw Authorities) Adjusting the drive type to the traffic conditions and route profile - a task for fleet owners and transport arrangers Replacing the rolling stock and fuel /propulsion with alternative ones - a task for fleet owners and owners of passenger cars Changing the transport behaviour of people travelling in passenger cars (public transport, car pooling, cycling, walking) a task for drivers and car passengers Ensuring a fluent traffic in the city (Integrated Traffic Management System, the role of ITS ) - a task for the road operator Ensuring increased effectiveness of public transport (Traffic Management System in Public Transport, better matching bus and traffic conditions) - a task for transport operators and arrangers Improving driving techniques by drivers of all kinds of motor vehicles (Ecodriving)- a task for vehicle owners Awareness-raising campaigns (e.g. Car Free Day) 4
Methods to Curb Pollutant Emissions and Fuel Consumption (planned) (2) (at the disposal of Warsaw Authorities) Low (Zero) Emission Zones Road pricing and congestion charging Vehicle labelling by energy and ecology criteria Fiscal stimuli (subsidies when purchasing an eco-friendly vehicle, excise tax on fuel, parking fees etc) 5
Aim: decision-making tool choosing buses when planning the development of buses fleet Users: bus fleet managers, decision makers, politicians The project Promoting sustainable Test drives summary energetic pathways for buses fleets Selection of a vehicle and its engine characteristics that is appropriate to the route parameters may lead to curbing fuel consumption by 30 t0 55% as well as CO2 emissions to 50% Through a better selection of engine and fuel of a bus operated on the same route, following reduction of emissions may be achieved: CO by 50 to 90%, NOx by 60 to 90%, HC by 40 to 100%, PM by 100% Depending on traffic conditions (flow) on the same route, the reduction of fuel consumption by a bus may vary from 20 to 30% Selecting fuel and characteristics of engine operated on the same route in terms of reducing CO2 may lead to decreasing external costs by 60 to 80% 6

Regional E-Mobility Cluster Warsaw E-Mobil Cluster (agreement of 4 July 2011) The Reason for Creating the Cluster Initiating and co-creating programmes, projects, and other actions implementing innovative technologies in the field of drives: ecological and energy-efficient electric and combustion-electric drives, combined with the associated charging infrastructure, as well as combustion drives (biofuels, natural gas, biogas) with the vehicle support and refueling infrastructure Facilitating the development of high-tech companies through the transfer of innovative technologies of the above mentioned areas of activity from science to business Promoting businesses, research centres, universities in the market of products related with the abovementioned areas of activity Why E-Mobility? Electric drive is characterised by: - greater efficiency than the combustion drive - lower emissions of CO2 and other pollutants - low emissions of noise - the cost of covering a given distance is much lower than with the combustion drive; advances in technology and production popularisation will soon make the vehicle prices similar - the scope of electric vehicles is now sufficient for city driving; in the bus traction, it may be increased through the use of rapid battery exchange stations, inductive charging, etc. 15
Summary The political will of Warsaw authorities is accompanied by international commitments as well as a series of actions that have already been taken. The Transportation System of Warsaw: Sustainable Development Strategy up to the year 2015 and successive years became a guideline for activities of Warsaw s authorities. Reducing CO2 emissions and energy consumption in the urban public transport requires huge expenditures. In Warsaw, the following have become a priority: the purchase of a modern rolling stock, expansion of the rail transport, of cycle path networks as well as traffic priorities for public transport. Introducing vehicles for alternative fuels and with alternative drives, changing transport behaviour (replacing individual cars with public transport, cycling or walking) have the greatest influence on the reduction of pollutant emissions and energy consumption in urban transport. The Terms of Reference for purchase of vehicles and provision of public transport services have been elaborated. Through the establishment of the Warsaw E-Mobil Cluster, a platform was created for the cooperation of businesses, local authorities, scientific units, and business environment institutions. The aim of the Cluster is to implement innovative technologies in the field of electric and combustion-electric, ecological and energy-efficient drives. The dissemination of eco-friendly vehicles can be promoted by successive EU legal regulations, the use of financial stimuli (subsidies when purchasing the vehicle, registration fees, excise tax on fuel, parking fees) as well as numerous new sources of funding. To be effective, the actions to curb CO2 and other pollutant emissions as well as energy consumption require an extensive awareness-raising campaign among the residents. 16
