The wave 1 of the mobility plan (2009)
• Bus: range 11 - 23% (sample of workers + employees = 1350 employees)
• Bike: range 2 - 3,7% (sample of workers + employees = 1350 employees)
• Carpooling: about 3% (calculated on the Italian fleet)
• Bi-Fuel: about 7% (calculated on a sample of 50 cars)
• Mobility is made of small numbers. The set of steps leads to more tangible results. Clearly the goal is to become more pervasive, but the beginning is comforting and we will continue in this direction.
• Another possible way: the “virtual path”…2010-2011 start BCP project

The transition towards Mobility Management
• Who What Why has been in Barilla a start point to achieve World Wide Approach.
• Fleet Management has been integrated with Mobility Management (2009), started in 8 different countries.
• The team has been completed with the connection with Purchasing Department, so this transversal unit can operate with: – synergy (cost optimization), – consistency (business model), – efficiency (homogeneous car allocation process and full respect of the fleet/mobility policies)
• During the 2010-2011 has been projected and released BCP (Barilla Community Platform), in all European countries and USA – this is a fundamental step to develop the Mobility Management.

What is BCP?
B as Barilla The project is tailored to Barilla, our needs and reality. Innovation and best technologies have guided the choices in making the project.
C as Community A group of interacting people, organized around common values and characterized by social cohesion. Mainly with the advent of the Internet, the concept of “community” no longer has geographical limitations.
P as Platform The set of services, software and tools that support Barilla people to work, communicate and collaborate in an effective and innovative way.

Mobility Management: it is possible!
• The first step was a Global Car Policy, with local adaptations (“GLOCAL”), then the introduction of Mobility concept has been less hard than expected…with a few exceptions, where we are working with the new concept of “virtual mobility”.
• The Mobility approach is a challenge, because it is a “change management” project.
• Example: Travel Time - the average time required from origin to destination (estimated before the travel) including all switches of vehicle/mode and all “waiting” time. If the average time is not policy compliance, the travel must be authorised from the executive of the dept. ….this is a KPI in mobility management.

Fleet Management vs. Mobility Management
Fleet Management
Is the management of a company's vehicle fleet. Fleet (vehicle) management includes a range of functions, such as: • vehicle financing • vehicle maintenance • vehicle telematics (tracking and
diagnostics) • driver management • speed management • fuel management • health and safety management…
the main tools represent the TCO.
Mobility Management
Has the task of optimizing the systematic moving of employees with the aim of reducing the use of private car, moving to a commuting Plan which favors solutions: • with low environmental impact • alternative transportation:
• car pooling, • car sharing, bike sharing, • on-call transportation, • shuttles, etc…
It is strictly recommended to notify and share the plan with the Mobility Manager of the local municipality.

PATNERS
Fleet & Mobility: the common way
• A new important KPI was introduced: Sustainability.
• Usually it is the Mobility Manager who undertakes to provide employees with a usable model of car sharing and car pooling, through the combination of resources (car pooling), personal (car for commuting employees, the transfer between home and work , and for business use) and suppliers (rental car).
• Other aspects of interest are energy consumption and harmful emissions and greenhouse gases, pollution (including noise), the level of traffic and road safety.
• The Fleet Manager is a part of the Mobility Project and he/she works with car – car is part of mobility, so the Fleet Manager and Mobility Manager are strictly connected.

But of course there are still many problems ...
• MICE (Meetings Incentives Conferences Exhibitions) is an aspect not yet fully under control.
• A positive assessment leads me to say that we have 40% under control.
• It is not a new exciting story, but it's a long road to follow, because many events are discovered after they have been made
• .... work in progress.

Process, Implementation and Control
• First – Strong commitment from the high level of company Management: it is essential.
• In order to make the type of cars assigned more homogeneous, 4 bandings are identified associated with the Barilla banding organizational clusters that were formed (first quarter 2009).
• We had decreased the “car dependency”, encouraging people to use the car less (own car or company car), with alternative travel plans which are easier where we have concentration of staff and where real alternatives exist.
• The Mobility Plan is shared with the Fleet Manager and it will be fully integrated during this year with the new release of the Business Travel Policy.

Mobility Plan Implementation
That is our daily challenge.
•Localized human service/transportation legislative review and analysis
•Reviewed of coordinated public transit human services transportation plans and development of statewide executive summary and interregional gap analysis
– Virtual Mobility (Company - Employees)
– A statewide stakeholder involvement effort (constraint)
What we have already implemented and what is possible to implement:
• Bus/Train (Company - Municipality) • Bike (Company- Municipality ) • Car pooling (Company - Employees) • Car sharing (Company - Employees) • Innovative Vehicles/Downsizing V2
(Hybrid or electric)
How to ensure mobility for everyone to enable to access jobs, education, healthcare and leisure, whilst at the same time protecting our environment and our quality of life?

• New Business Travel Policy fully integrated with Fleet Management, BCP (Barilla Community Platform)
• ….what does this mean?
• First question: are you sure that the physical travel is inevitable?
• During 2012, the travel through subsidiaries of the Company will be reduced of 30% replaced by alternative proposals:
Document sharing
Video Conference
Telepresence……
all that is BCP, what else?

New Travel Policy is a “Mobility Policy”
• For a good fleet management, you need a good “car policy” which generates rules and “car list”.
• For a good mobility management, you need a good mobility policy, which is the travel policy evolution.
• The fleet management has been developed with mobility manager through Human Capital, Purchasing dept. and IT dept.
• The new Mobility Policy will require engagement of HC, Purchasing and IT as new entry [because mobility is not only physical and this is the way to reach less travel costs, airline frustration, fuel, lost time, carbon emissions, etc. Those are tangible, real savings to name just a very limited few.]
• With the IT engagement in the Mobility Policy having the right commitment from the high top level management of the company, the travel expenses will addressed in the right way of the control, and as result the saving expected is at least 10%/y, considering the ROI of the infrastructure and the recurrent costs. This is only the money back, but it is not comprehensive of the real TCO.

New Travel Policy from TCO to TCS
• The new age of the process ownership is to consider two key elements: emission and time consumption.
• The TCO evolve toward TCS (Total Cost of Sustainability), where the main targets are the reduction of:
– pollutions for each route
– non productive commuting time
– the travel time and related travel risks
• We are working in very challenge way, to release of the second wave of our GloCal Travel policy which include these elements
• The term “GloCal” means Global as guide line, but loCal as deployment and implementation – the “one size fit all” approach is not the best way: it could backfire.

Exceptions
• The exception will be authorized only from the Department Director (an executive is not enough).
• Being able to adjust the daily route and travel most frequently undoubtedly helps to improve efficiency.
• The rules must be made so as not to require too many controls: it is not for lack of confidence, but the controls have a cost. The awareness of sustainable mobility arises when one gets used from the beginning. It’s hard to change.
• Of course there may be errors and especially the first version will take account of the repeated requests for exceptions and understanding the reasons for developing structural corrective actions.

• The train appeared to be the best choice, but considering the travel time, the trip would be at least 13 hours vs. 3 hours (1,5 aircraft + 1 highway + others). The right choice is the airplane.
• The study of the paths for each country will give us as results a substantial saving of time and emissions. I think this is the evolution toward TCS (S as Sustainability). When we map the movements for each country and between countries, we will have the ability to create the optimal modes of travel, always promoting the solution with a lower impact (emissions, waste of time), with benefits for employees and the employer.

New other elements of interest (I hope ) • All of us knows very well the component of the TCO for a car fleet, including the
hidden cost, but the TCO (it was introduced by Garter in 1987) is a static analysis of the costs of equipment: it therefore does not take into account any returns due to investment in innovation, operational savings, new jobs created, so the total cost of ownership by monitoring only the costs can not be used in the analysis of strategic investments. The evolution is TCS, S = Sustainability.
• The agreements with local public transport companies will be increasingly important in mobility management projects.
• The CIO is so convinced of the mobility project, which has decided to spread the Smartphone making BCP services accessible to mobile users: this means that the objective of sustainable mobility is common and all of us are working in the same direction.
• The incredible chance we have is to deploy a new strategy based on the mobility budget concept. This means that the traditional company car is no longer the standard means of transport, but the bus, train, bike or pooling/sharing, for example, are part of the transport options. Personal Mobility Budget is a new way of looking at transport, which can be implemented in a different way per organization. In brief, the Personal Mobility Budget allows employees in an organisation to choose their own form (or forms) of transport that suit their needs best and are within a budget set by the employer.
Smart Mobility Institute will give us ideas for strategies and schemes for a new way: Mobility Budget

Messages and takeaways to be remembered
• Mobility Management is a classically holistic process, where the
result isn’t the arithmetic sum of its components. • If you have not already done, the suggestion is to create a cross-
functional team - fleet, mobility, travel and ICT: it is a winning strategy, because they do not disperse forces, but focus on one goal - Sustainable Mobility.
• Simple “tricks” help to reach the target- e.g.: special parking slot for bike, near the office entrance and car parking slot far from the office entrance.
• The current problem of mobility is that the fleet manager have no control over the logistics and transport by trucks. Still no mention of a convergence project between car fleet management and truck fleet management - it could be a key to the future - We have much work to do.
• Dreams and imagination are the fuel of innovation.

A new age for batteries? Could be real…..
The black liquid in the container is Cambridge
Crude. The laboratory bench experiment shown
was performed at MIT to serve as a proof of
concept that the semi-solid cell battery generates
lots of electricity. A functional prototype will be
ready next year. The folks at MIT estimate that
their functional prototype will be ready for testing
sometime in 2013. The prototype here will include
everything from the car, battery refuelling
pumping system, battery refuelling pumping
system, recharging station system, and storage
tanks for charged and discharged solutions.

Mankind always sets itself only such tasks as
