Austrian Automotive Sector

Automotive industry is an important

sector of the national economy

(GDP: 43 Billion €/a)

Automotive supply industry is

highly successful

>450,000 employees are working

in the Automotive sector, mainly in

the production & development of

drive trains (>175,000 employees directly involved) (700 companies)

Every 9th job is linked to the Automotive industry

Development of alternative drive trains/ fuels has become a

key factor in the competitive capability

Opportunity to substantially reduce GHG emissions and to

create a sustainable mobility system

Interdisciplinary potential of several innovation fields: energy,

environment and transport

Benefits from a highly favorable starting position (well-

established R&D- programs, initiatives, demonstration

projects, etc.) but mainly through an efficient energy system

featuring >30% renewable energy in the power supply mix

Pushing e-mobility forwards

Pushing e-mobility forwards in Austria is done by:

support through promotions & funding programs and

implementation of regulatory (legalistic) measures

Since 2007, the Austrian government has more than tripled

public funding in the sectors energy research, development

and demonstration; adopted a new energy research strategy

and launched several priority programs

16



In 2014, Austria’s public expenditure for energy-related

research and development amounted to 143,100,718 euros

(+15% to 2013; all-time high)

17



Research areas of energy efficiency, renewables, smart

grids and storage define the priorities of the publicly financed

energy research within Austria

18


Subcategories with the highest expenditures in 2014

19



Highest expenditures in 2014 (in million euros):

electricity transmission & distribution (21.5),

efficient residential & commercial buildings (17.8),

communities, smart cities (13.4),

photovoltaics (11.5),

energy storage (11.5),

bioenergy (9.4),

hybrid and electric vehicles (8.5),

energy efficiency (industry) (8.1),

solar heating & cooling (5.1)

and fuel cells (5.1).

Austrian national policies - conventional vehicles

Emission Taxation System (NoVA-Normverbrauchsabgabe)

Cars (< 90 gCO2/km) don‘t have to pay the NoVA.

The excess amount (to 90) is divided by five and gives the NoVA

tax rate (max. 32%). The calculated rate is applied to the net value

of the car. (e.g. 120 gCO2/km means a tax rate of 6% ((120-90)/5).)

Mineral oil tax

Since December 2010 the tax rates for 1,000 liter fuel are:

21

Gasoline Tax rate

Content of: sulphur max. 10 mg/kg, biofuel min. 46l € 482

Else € 515

Diesel Tax rate

Content of: sulphur max. 10 mg/kg, biofuel min. 66l € 397

Else € 425


Austrian national policies - Alternative Drivetrains

EVs are exempt from NoVA taxation system

State & communities offer many promotions e.g. purchase premiums

Many insurance companies provide a discount of 10-20% for EVs

For companies, associations & non-profit organizations, there is

support of 30% of the environment-related investment costs for the

acquisition and conversion

As of January 1st, 2013, the motor-dependent insurance tax for HEVs

and Range Extender has to be paid for the engine power of the

combustion engine only - BEVs are exempt

Until 2016, vehicles running on E85, CNG, LPG, biogas, or hydrogen,

receive a tax reduction of EUR 600 (USD 673)*

22

* As per 25.09.2015

Ongoing (sutainable) projects

Linking private and public transport

Austria benefits from linking public transport systems with

e-utility vehicles, e-scooters, e-car sharing and e-bikes

A various number of e-car sharing & rental models have been

launched since 2014 (interest exceeded the supply by far)

E-taxis as a specific form of car sharing

Feasibility study on the economic impacts of BEV-taxi fleets:

conducted by TU Vienna

upgrade the existing taxi operation to BEVs could be easily realized

still a lot of hurdles to overcome (e.g. missing EVSE)

Output: start of demo projects in Vienna, Graz and Salzburg

30


Vienna starts one of the world's largest e-taxi projects

Based on the feasibility study/ following demo

projects, Vienna announced the

‘Vienna e-taxi project’ (May 2015)

Wiener Stadtwerke

(Vienna’s infrastructure provider),

together with Viennese taxi

companies, started one of the world's

largest e-taxi projects in Vienna

31


Vienna starts one of the world's largest e-taxi projects

“Vienna e-taxi project”:

1st step, up to 120 e-taxis (from 2016 onwards)

2nd step, increase to 250 e-taxis till 2019

Funded by the bmvit*, with a funding for taxi

companies of up to 8,000 euros/ vehicle and

a quick charging network (specially adapted

for the e-taxi fleet operators)

Early birds will receive free electricity for

one year at the fast-charging stations

* Austrian Ministry for Transport, Innovation and Technology

32


Eurovision Song Contest participants drove with e-

Taxis and e-busses

60th Eurovision Song Contest (Vienna, 2015)

Organized as Green Event (1st time)

30 e-taxis (Tesla), 120 HEVs, 12 e-busses

were used to drive artists/ delegates to the

red carpet

Vienna’s e-buses have already driven

> 200,000 kilometers without major problems

The current 12 ‘Citybuses’ mainly serve lines

in the historical (old) part of Vienna have

become a tourist attraction

33


Promotion tours

E-Mobility for commuters

eMORAIL (Integrated eMobility Service for Public Transport):

Pilot project of the Austrian train operator (ÖBB), offers a mobility

package for commuters - from their home to their workplace

Systematic combination of public transport & electric individual

transport (e-car, train & e-bike) for the first/ last miles

Successfully implemented and tested

To ensure high vehicle utilization,

e-cars were used operationally

during the day

(e.g. commuters

delivery services (post)

commuters)

35


E-Scooters and E-Motorcycles

E-Scooter

E-scooter “iO King Kong” by “iO”

Driving range: 70km (up to 180 kg) to 140km

used by the Austrian Post Service

E-bicycle

About 210,000 e-bikes (most popular EVs in Austria)

In 2014, every 9th-sold bicycle was an e-bike (in Austria)

36


E-Scooters and E-Motorcycles

E-bike by the Austrian company Johammer ‘Johammer J1’

Synchronous motor (11 kW), 178 kg (empty)

Top speed of 120 km/h

Batteries (12.7 kWh)

Range between 180 and 220 km,

Fast charging time 2.5 hours (80%)

180 pieces are expected to be sold in 2015

37


Unique in the world: The ÖAMTC expanded margins

fleet to e-bikes

Since May 2015, ÖAMTC’s (Austria's Traffic Club) breakdown drivers

are using e-bikes in addition to their cars and trucks

Ensure the providence of breakdown

assistance in the fastest way possible

Area: Vienna’s inner city districts

Period: (May - September)

Equipment: e-bikes with a special

trailer (incl. a specific set of tools for

the most important margins)

ÖAMTC was able to record 499 inserts within the first two months

38


Electrified logistic solutions

A few Austrian projects focusing the goal of

e-vehicles for urban freight logistics

CITYLOG EMF (Electric Multifunctional Vehicle)

has the vision of a holistic approach concerning the reorganization of

logistic structures and the concomitant reorganization of the transport

technology of goods in sensitive areas:

E-motor propulsion: fuel-cell (H2) based

Series of ‘self-driven’ vehicles and ‘trailers’

Coupled to a train, and un-coupled for loading

and unloading operations

Every vehicle is ‘driving’ itself

Serial production expected to be ready in 2016

Conclusion

E-mobility as interdisciplinary issue between energy, transport and

environment

>175,000 employees are (directly) working within Austria’s

automotive industry, mainly in the production & development of

drive trains

Research, development, and innovation up to the production of

structural components, and system-integrated solutions open potentials

employment for the automotive industry

15,323 (P)HEVs, 4,748 BEVs and 5,007 CNG (incl. bivalent) vehicles

(end of October 2015)

Vehicles, driven by an alternative drive train amount for 1.8% of all new

registered vehicles

Main focus in 2015 on FCEVs and enlargement of EVSE (Quick Charging)
