economy.

4

Brabant and automotive

3. Vision and strategy

9

Vision and strategy

The vision and strategy of Brabant is in alignment with that of the Netherlands

and the EU:

• Energy neutral Brabant � energy neutral mobility � 100% clean vehicles

• The ambition of Brabant is to be energy neutral in 2050

• Sustainable environment � the need for a circular economy*)

*) Circular economy: an industrial economy that is producing no waste and pollution (definition from Wikipedia).

Vision of Tony Seba: ‘Clean disruption’

Tony Seba is the author of “Clean Disruption of Energy and Transportation”, and an instructor

in Entrepreneurship, Disruption and Clean Energy at Stanford’s Continuing Studies Program

(www.tonyseba.com).

Disruption: when a new product or service helps create a new market

AND

significantly weaken, transform, or destroy an existing product, market category / industry.

The new tech-based architecture of energy and transportation will consist of distributed, smart, mobile,

connected devices FOR generating, managing, consuming & trading energy.

Relevant examples of such new products/services are: e-vehicles, e-storage, clean e-generation, e-

distribution/smart-grids and self-driving vehicles.11

Vision of Tony Seba: ‘Clean disruption’

Already happened or expected:

• Laptop Li-on battery costs dropped ~ 14%/year over 15 years, since 2010 ~ 16%/year

(accelerating).

• Tesla expects to increase battery pack capacity by roughly 5%/year.

• Electric motor is 5 x more energy efficient compared to internal combustion engine (ICE).

• 2000+ moving parts in an ICE vehicle compared to 18 moving parts in an electric vehicle (EV).

• EV is 10 to 100 times cheaper to maintain.

The solar disruption:

• ‘God parity’: cost of unsubsidized rooftop solar lower than cost of transmission.

• When god parity? by 2020?12

5% prediction by TeslaA (future) prediction is always a guess. How many years will it last.....

Trends

• Transition from fossil to zero emission mobility.

• Car-sharing, cars are parked 96% of the time!

• Availability of (more and more) sustainable energy sources.

• Technology for batteries is improving rapidly (more capacity, lower costs).

14

Needs

• Better batteries:

capacity for long range, reasonable costs, recyclable, lifespan, short duration to

charge.

• Especially in dense populated places, the number of cars needs to go down

(solution: car-sharing)

15

Needs

• Open standards for charging: in NL e.g. in cooperation with Elaad the possibility to charge each e-

car (at reasonable cost) and have standardized payment.

• It needs to be possible to charge each e-car at any moment everywhere with sustainable

electricity: in Brabant it is planned to have 12000 public charge-points for 100000 cars until 2020.

• Smart-charging, i.e. at moments when durable/sustainable electricity is available.

• Smart grids and storage integration: e.g. by e-cars, in NL planned for 2025 are 1 million e-car to be

operational, these cars have the capacity to store appr. 50% of the needed electricity for the entire

country.

16

Needs

• Knowledge-sharing, living labs to learn, to prove, to inspire.

• Need for intra-/inter-regional cooperation: e.g. Brabant has partnerships with Region

Baden-Württemberg and Nuremberg Metropolitan Region.

• Involve the consumer: convince, make it easy, show benefits.

• A competitive landscape of e-car manufacturers / suppliers.

The University of Technology in Eindhoven:

• Dutch name is ‘Technische Universiteit Eindhoven‘

• Abbreviated as TU/e

• Founded in June 15th 1956

• TU/e is the second University of Technology in the Netherlands

• The first Dutch University of Technology is in Delft.

TU/e student projects

The ’Stella’, a car (for 4 persons) was twice

world champion in Australia at the World Solar

Challenge.

The Storm is a e-motorbike that is currently on

an 80-day trip around the world.

20

• High concentration of automotive component suppliers

• Many automotive related companies in chemistry (materials),

electronics & communication technology

• Access to Europe’s major automotive markets: Germany, France and UK

• 90% of business are exports

5. Current and new projects

25

Current and new projects

Zero emission public bus transport for South-East Brabant:

• bus-company Hermes

• at the end of 2016 the project will start with 50 e-bus vehicles

• currently vehicles are in final development, early-operations and test program at the

Automotive Campus in Helmond *)

*) The Automotive Campus in Helmond is knowledge center for the Dutch automotive industry:

mainly for smart and green mobility.26

Current and new projects

• 2020 in Brabant: 12000 public available charging-points and 100.000 e-car

• Cooperation between province and BMW.

• Pilot for zero emission trucks in city-centers (hybrid, electrical, hydrogen).

• Germany PIB (Partners for International Business):

Working with German partners, Dutch companies are exploiting opportunities in

charging infrastructure, shared-car and shared-bike concepts, and urban distribution

27

Charge-infrastructure by Elaad(Elaad is an initiativ of the Dutch e-networks)

Some examples of current and planned projects:

• Smart Charging and international protocols: ‘synchronize’ international protocols and standards in the communication chain between car and e-network to improve possibilities of Smart Charging (ISO/IEC 51118 and OCPP).

• Local Load Balancing: reduce costs for operation of charging-stations by optimized use/sharing of the available capacity.

• Smart Chain: tests with smart-charging of cars considering local available energy (solar and wind), the needs/demands of the customers, the costs of energy in the (none-balanced) market.

• Flexible costs for charging in Brabant: a test with smart charge subscriptions to charge at moments that energy-costs are low.

• Cross-border charging.

28

Activities:

• Company-visits

• Networking

• Matchmaking

etc.

Partnerships with Region Baden-Württemberg

and Nuremberg Metropolitan Region

Strong teaming between Brabant and regions in Germany at all levels

(industry, R&D, administrations). Events such as visit by Dutch King to

Franken (April 2016) and visits by political/administrative officials.

Some topics:

• Automation

• Automotive component suppliers

• Electric Mobility

• Research and development

• Automotive manufacturers

• General and plant engineering

• Control and measurement29
