Clean and energy-efficient vehicles

RSS - Clean and energy-efficient vehicles abonnieren

Clean and energy-efficient vehicles, such as hybrid/electric buses and cars, aim to reduce greenhouse and other pollutant emissions, fuel consumption and fossil fuel dependency.

Exhaust gas treatment systems, alternative drive trains and the use of alternative fuels and energy storage systems can improve the environmental record of vehicles. Besides technical interventions, promotional and procurement initiatives can accelerate the uptake of low-emission vehicles.

Do you work in the field of sustainable mobility? Please share your experience!

Forums: 

I have created a survey intended for individuals and organizations, who are concerned with Sustainable Mobility and Urban Development. The survey seeks to gain key insights into which factors best support change (modal shift) in cities, by better understanding the priorities, strategies and experiences of all who are concerned with this topic.

Paris COP21 - Die Rolle des Verkehrssektors im Kampf gegen den Klimawandel

Im Dezember treffen sich Regierungsvertreter aus aller Welt in Paris zur 21. Konferenzrunde der Klimarahmenkonvention der Vereinten Nationen (UNFCCC).

Die COP21-Konferenz ist entscheidend, um endlich und erstmals in über 20 Jahren Verhandlungen in den Vereinten Nationen ein rechtsverbindliches und universelles Abkommen zu erreichen. Ziel ist hierbei, die globale Erwärmung auf weniger als 2°C zu begrenzen.

How to systematise decarbonisation in contemporary cities?

Forums: 

Our SUMOSU STATION project –EIP SCC 5575- , which includes its own material infrastructure, proposes a roadmap for a Strategic Integration Plan (SIP) to contemporary cities which merges both their Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans and their Action Plans for Sustainable Energy. Up until now, these two key urban planning tools on their own have been unsuccessful at reducing both traffic congestion and CO2 emissions in big metropolis, however, we are convinced that, when combined together in this new approach (SIP), they can solve sustainable mobility problems as well as the power challenges of a quick connection to smart grids. Have you had similar experiences? We are looking forward to reading about them.

Out Goes the Car. In Comes the Auto-mobile.

Forums: 

No doubt the car has come to a pivotal point with the prospect of 'driverless' and sharing cars rather than owning them. What they have in common is the more conscientious and efficient use of resources (materials, energy, time, infrastructure, the environment). In a recent interview Ford's Research & Advanced Engineering VP Ken Washington talked about what he sees as a defining factor.

ELMO: innovatives landesweites Schnellladenetz für Elektrofahrzeuge in Estland

Im Jahr 2011 wurde in Estland ein ehrgeiziges landesweites Elektromobilitätsprogramm zur Förderung der Nutzung von Elektrofahrzeugen (Efz) auf den Weg gebracht. Das Programm umfasste finanzielle Anreize für den Kauf von Efz, Aufklärungskampagnen, ein Projekt zur gemeinsamen Nutzung von Efz („Carsharing“) und die Anschaffung von Efz für die staatlichen Sozialdienste.

Einführung emissionsfreier Busse in europäischen Städten

Die europäischen Städte stehen angesichts der lokalen Luftverschmutzung, der CO2-Emissionen – und der damit verbundenen gesundheitlichen Auswirkungen – und der Verkehrsüberlastung vor immer größeren Herausforderungen. Hinzu kommt, dass der Verkehr in der EU zu 95 Prozent von fossilen Brennstoffen abhängig ist. Es ist daher entscheidend, die Energiequellen zu diversifizieren, um die Sicherheit der Energieversorgung in der EU zu gewährleisten.

Intelligently linking electric car-sharing, charging infrastructure and traffic information in Berlin

The technical colloquium will focus on the potential of deploying electromobility in the urban environment as an environmentally friendly urban transportation system by integrating electric cars into the existing offer of traffic information in the city of Berlin. This event is organised by the Berlin, Senate Department for Urban Development and the Environment, and DriveNow in the framework of the European-funded MOLECULES project.
