ACCESS Workshop
2 March, Genua
Clean propulsion technologies in TELLUS
• Rotterdam; buses with DNOx and waste collection trucks with particle filters for EURO IV/V; hybrid bus, electric vans and extension of (H)EV fleet, including e-bikes and e-scooters
• Berlin; CNG lorries
• Bucharest; extension of trolleybus fleet (in stead of new LPG buses)
• Göteborg; 4 hybrid-electric waste collection trucks with CNG/CBG engine; promoting clean vehicles in public and private fleets
ACCESS Workshop
2 March, Genua
Clean propulsion technologies risks - Users
• Fear of high procurements costs, not noticingnoticing lower (long term) lower (long term) exploitation costs and possible exploitation costs and possible benefits regarding taxes and feesbenefits regarding taxes and fees
• Different opinions in what clean technology is preferred
• Hesitation to try something different
ACCESS Workshop
2 March, Genua
Clean propulsion technologies contingencies - Users
• Willing to act as guinea-pigs for new technologies
• Most local authorities prepared to give good example
• Professional users interested in low exploitation costs
ACCESS Workshop
2 March, Genua
Clean propulsion technologies risks - Governments
• National governments in Europe exploiting different rules (support, taxes, type approval, etc)
• Regulations in Europe, USA and Asia are different
• Consequently manufacturers do not have a clear view on their market possibilities
ACCESS Workshop
2 March, Genua
Clean propulsion technologies contingencies - Governments
• EC efforts to establish a worthwhile market for clean vehicles, putting pressure on manufacturers and national governments
• National governments establishing rules and support for clean vehicles
• USA, CARB regulations back on track
ACCESS Workshop
2 March, Genua
Clean propulsion technologies risks - Manufacturers
• Expected scenario: coming 10-15 years mainly improvements in diesel and petrol ("waiting" for fuel-cell)
• Not willing to produce alternatives?
• Underestimating technical challenges?
• Hardly suitable alternative vehicles (CNG, hybrid electric) offered for more than 1,5 tons payload in Europe
• Small volumes result in high costs and insufficient service organisation
ACCESS Workshop
2 March, Genua
Clean propulsion technologies contingencies - Manufacturers
• Using fuel-cell scenario to improve electric and hybrid technology; for cars especially Honda & Toyota
ACCESS Workshop
2 March, Genua
Clean propulsion technologies contingencies - Manufacturers
• Interest in clean fuels (Bio-fuels, NG and synthetic fuels like GTL) is growing worldwide, especially in USA
ACCESS Workshop
2 March, Genua• Service organisation dedicated to smaller numbers
• Expected improvements in diesel, petrol and applicable filter systems
Dealing with clean propulsion technology projects 1
• Use only companies/drivers willing to try new technologies, otherwise failure is guaranteed
• Match the technology with reality, don't use technologies, not matching with the demand
• Co-operation is recommended with other cities/organisations in this field; common procurement can lead to lower prices, but takes time
• Beware of too optimistic planning anyway, take your time
ACCESS Workshop
2 March, Genua
• Close co-operation with car and truck manufacturers strongly recommended, but make firm agreements with them and don’t use prototypes
• Arrange political and financial support at all levels (EU, national, local) and show (future) benefitsand try to provide incentives to benefit (future) users of clean vehicles, likeACCESS Workshop

Dealing with clean propulsion technology projects 2
Access to restricted areasPermission to use bus lanesSpecial designated parking spacesReduced parking feesSubsidies
Dealing with clean propulsion technology projects 3
• Don't sweep negative experiences under the carpet, all experiences are worth learning from
Thank you for your attention
ACCESS Workshop
2 March, Genua • On the other hand, don't put negative experiences under a magnifying glass
