eBRIDGE Country Reports on e-Mobility Fleet Schemes and Market Potentials

The country reports analyse the current situation and trends of electric fleets in the eBRIDGE targeted regions and their case study sites, by assessing information about all context relevant issues such as market overview, best practice, legal framework, policy, and environmental impacts, as well as the market potential of electric mobility, mainly for fleets.

D4.4 Report Scenario Modelling

This report presents the key finding on CO2 emissions arising from the participating sites Berlin (Germany), Bregenz (Austria), Carmarthen (Wales, UK), Lisbon (Portugal), Milan (Italy), Valencia (Spain) and Vigo (Spain) using electric fleets and car sharing schemes for business and private urban travel. The extensive volume of EVs trial data collected in the project was used to comprehensively characterize the operational urban fleet performances. This analysis is important in the European context, as there is limited (although rapidly growing) recording data of actual EVs usage and charging patterns.

eBRIDGE Demonstration Results – Factsheets on Barriers and Potentials of Electric Fleets

After 18 months into the project, the eBRIDGE pilots have gathered many interesting results. These factsheets answer concrete questions about electric mobility for private and business trips and show in a very illustrative way the barriers and potentials of electric vehicles in corporate and municipal carpools and car sharing and peer-to-peer car sharing systems.

Summary of Formative Evaluation

"This is the public summary of the Formative Evaluation Report of the eBRIDGE pilot schemes. It describes the development process of an evaluation methodology for the schemes. This methodology was developed in close collaboration with the site managers of the schemes involved, and it helps assess progress during the lifetime of project eBRIDGE. It also presents initial findings of project assessment and describes the next steps for the evaluation framework".

European Transferability Factsheet

The factsheet “European Transferability” shows at a glance the main results of the six country analysis carried out in Germany, Austria, Spain, Italy, Portugal and United Kingdom. In addition, European ongoing projects and next events in the field of electric mobility are shown to foster cooperation and networking.

Summative Evaluation Report: Learning from the eBRIDGE fleets

The report describes and analyses the main technical and behavioural aspects of the eBRIDGE fleets and relevant lessons learnt from the seven involved sites.

Berlin

Berlin, the capital of Germany, is a metropolis with 3.3 million inhabitants. The city is transforming continuously and provides a breeding ground for research and innovation. A dense public transport network, low car ownership and an established car sharing landscape with more than 3,500 vehicles are the ideal starting point for new mobility concepts.

Austrian municipalities

In contrast to the global trend, car sharing in Austria remained static for the last 15 years. The introduction of electric mobility on the one hand and the entry of new market players on the other hand have reactivated the sector.

Vigo

Vigo is a big city situated in the province of Pontevedra, in the north-west coast of Spain. As a harbour city, Vigo plays a strategic role for the regional tourism and its solid transport infrastructure makes it a transport hub for the Galician region and the north of the neighboring country Portugal.

Valencia - Palma

The metropolitan area of Valencia, with 1.7 million inhabitants, is the 3rd largest urban agglomeration in Spain. In the last few years, the region has made substantial investments to improve its transportation system with a commitment to promoting the use of sustainable modes of transport.

Milan

Milan, located in the North of Italy, is the second largest Italian city and the capital of Lombardy region. The city covers an area of 182 km2 and has 1.35 million inhabitants. It will host EXPO 2015 and is expecting around 20 million visitors in a year; it is therefore planning a strengthening of its transport service system and has already introduced a Pollution Charge paid by car users entering in the city centre (the so called Area C). The Milan eBRIDGE pilot has been focused on the e-car sharing fleet located into the Area C.

Lisbon

Lisbon is the capital city of Portugal, with a resident population of 547,773 inhabitants. The city is situated on the right bank of River Tagus, in the heart of the country, being its political and major economic centre, presenting a cosmopolitan dynamic as a result of the hundreds of daily movements registered by its floating and resident population.

Carmarthenshire

Carmarthenshire is one of 22 Welsh administrative divisions (Counties). It is the third largest Welsh County by area, and the fourth largest by population (183,800 inhabitants).
