Welcome | Electric Mobility going global

Electric mobility is a key to tomorrow’s mobility. Moving into this forward-looking market will benefit industry as well as the environment and the climate. But a few questions need to be sorted out before we can really get going. For example, we urgently need convincing solutions for powerful and affordable batteries, a needs-based recharging infra-structure, or the integration of the vehicles into the energy system. Ultimately, the advances in technology will have to succeed on the market.

The German government has put the support of e-mobility high up on its agenda. We are advancing science and industry by providing a sound policy environment. In particular, our targeted funding for research and development is giving a lasting boost to corporate innovation. Our showcase and lighthouse projects are raising awareness of outstanding e-mobility projects. The development of tailored information and communication technologies is moving full speed ahead. We are also making progress on training in the relevant sectors. In this way, we are jointly paving the way for creative concepts to become attractive products.

We aim to have one million electric vehicles on Germany’s roads by 2020. We would like to see Germany become a lead market for electric mobility. To this end, the stakeholders in academia and industry, government and society are working hand in hand. Our National Platform for Electric Mobility plays a particularly valuable role here. Not least, it has provided important input for this international conference.

Electric mobility needs comprehensive co-operation - firstly, interde-partmental, since it combines innovative concepts of industrial, energy, research and environmental policy, and secondly international, so that the mobility of the future can be made more climate-friendly around the world in future. We have already passed some initial hurdles on the way to harmonised standards for plugs, for example, or on data communication. Numerous bilateral contacts and joint projects show just how much priority the German government attaches to close co-ordination so that e-mobility can become an international success.

This conference aims to foster dialogue and co-operation between sectors and countries. I am therefore delighted that you have come to take part in the event. I wish you all fruitful discussions and an exciting time in Berlin.

Dr. Angela MerkelGerman Federal Chancellor

Welcome

Welcome | Electric Mobility going global

Electric mobility is a key element in order to achieve a sustainable trans-formation of our transport systems. In the face of climate change and resource scarcity, we need to ensure resource-efficient and, where possible, zero-emissions mobility. Electric mobility can make a sub-stantial contribution to this goal, and policymakers, civil society and business have recognised the significant opportunities that it offers. Investment is increasing, the range of available products is expanding and competition is growing fiercer. As a consequence, we are witnessing major industrial and commercial innovations not just in Germany but around the world. Electric mobility is going global.

In Germany, the National Platform for Electric Mobility has been providing the German government with impetus and advice since 2010. Representatives of industry, business, government and civil society are working together to develop systemic solutions in a way that tran-scends the boundaries of traditional industries. The results speak for themselves - a variety of government-funded projects are helping to make electric mobility competitive in Germany. Industry is also invest-ing right across the value chain. The first commercial, market-tested products are already starting to appear. This success has been achieved thanks to the extremely constructive cooperation between all the actors, to whom I would like to express my sincere gratitude. Our Platform has demonstrated that Germany is capable of cross-sectoral, industry-wide cooperation.

We must continue along this path. This will require us to ensure effective knowledge transfer and in particular to exchange experiences with partners from around the globe. It is therefore my great pleasure to welcome you to the German government’s international conference on electric mobility. We hope that it will provide us with valuable ideas for our work going forwards as well as with an opportunity to share our own experiences with others. In keeping with the systemic approach, we have invited speakers from a wide variety of different industries. The programme contains a range of presentations on the prospects and goals of electric mobility. Meanwhile, the exhibition and test drive experience are aimed at giving the general public a chance to see and experience firsthand the progress that we have achieved. You are all welcome to go for a spin yourselves. I look forward to a successful conference and hope that everyone has an exciting time.

Abstract | Electric Mobility going global

Dr. Frank MastiauxCEO EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg AG

Electric mobility is an essential element for tomorrow’s energy world for the EnBW group. In addition to the decentralized production of electricity, storage, energy efficiency, and smart grids, EnBW is working on sustainable solutions for e-mobility. This is based on generating electricity from renewable energy sources constituting part of a future eco-system “Energy/ Energy Management” that EnBW plans to provide in the near future.

A stepping stone along the path to establishing e-mobility solutions is providing accessible charging infrastructure for both public and private uses. Furthermore this leads to the possibility of using electric vehicles for energy storage and intelligently networking with other energy and mobility applications. Hence electric vehicles could partially offset the increasing feed-in of renewable energies in the electricity network and thus contribute to the stabilization of the grid. EnBW’s charging stations are fuelled only by green electricity (100% from hydropower), which is mainly produced by the energy generation and power plants in South Germany.

During the research project MeRegioMobil and in the model region Stuttgart, EnBW has built up extensive expertise in e-mobility solutions. 500 e-bikes have driven over one million miles in Stuttgart and have shown once more that e-mobility is suitable for everyday use. Through the use of e-bikes, a third of the trips which would previously take place with conventional vehicles, were replaced.

Together with its partners EnBW has built in the project MeRegioMobil an interoperable charging infrastructure and shown that electric vehicles can be meaningfully linked with the smart energy applications of a house.

EnBW is now further developing its findings together with various partners. In the research project CROME, EnBW has been testing the success of a cross-border loading infrastructure between France and Germany since the begin-ning of the year. With the project iZEUS, EnBW wants to bring e-mobility from the urban centers into the region through partnerships. (CROME: Cross Border Mobility for EVs; iZEUS : intelligent Zero Emission Urban System)

In Stuttgart EnBW has set up more than 400 publicly accessible charging points, which are used among others intensively by the widespread e-vehicle fleet of the car sharing provider car2go. More vehicles charging stations in the region will be introduced during this year. First experiences indicate that this alternative form of individual mobility has been accepted well. Also the investments of EnBW in Hubject have borne fruit. Hubject has developed a national roaming system and provides a platform developed for the purpose of securely linking previously isolated charging infrastructure systems. From the middle of this year, electric vehicle users of Hubject can connect to the charging stations of EnBW as well as its partners - an important step towards a non-discriminatory access to public charging infrastructure.

Based on the experience gained so far, EnBW will expand its production portfolio to include e-mobility deals so that users can get the best experience with an electric, noiseless, and emission free transportation from A to B.

However there is still one thing that holds true: in the medium term, no business plan with a public charging in-frastructure is purely competitively viable. The refinancing of sophisticated public charging stations only through electricity consumption is not economically feasible. By implication, this means: the development of charging infrastructure must still be continued - to meet the security needs of the people - but for it to be for the benefit of all electric mobility user, it can be done only in conjunction with partners. And this requires a fair burden-sharing. The “public-private partnership” is, from the EnBW view, an appropriate approach especially in the initial market phase as it spreads the load evenly on several shoulders.

An important boost for the market development would of course be a broad range of inspiring and affordable electric vehicles for customers; a market that is only beginning to develop. From this, we are certainly expecting exciting innovations from the automotive industry.

Abstract


Philippe VarinCEO PSA Peugeot Citroën, Frankreich

The challenges in the 21st century have affected the automotive industry and will continue to change it dramatically by 2020. Examples of recent developments are:

• ReductionofEnvironmentalPollution: PSA Peugeot Citroën has met emission standards in advance, introduced a particle filter system in 2000, and with a CO2 average of 122.9 g/km, it was the No. 1 in Europe in 2012.

• NewMobilityneeds: Half of the 7 billion people on our planet now live in cities. This means that there is a new and different mobility need.

• NewCustomerExpectation: Environmentally friendly, fuel-efficient vehicles Connectivity and security Customizability Fun and mobility

These social trends and the new mobility needs have to be developed innovatively. Thus, more than half of our expenditure goes into research and development of ”Clean Technologies“. Obviously, electric cars do open up new possibilities; starting from sales for mobility in the city, followed by the electric car sharing programme „Multi-City Berlin“ by Citroën, this leads up to comprehensive maintenance contracts.

Since the 1990s, PSA Peugeot Citroën has already been a pioneer in the field of automobiles with pure electric drive. The year 2010 marked the group’s milestone with the comeback of Peugeot iOn and Citroën C-ZERO and has exten-ded the product range with light commercial vehicles of types Partner and Berlingo.

HybridVehiclesintheCentreofTechnologyStrategy

In the coming decades, the trend will be that vehicles will have to both satisfy the environmental needs and also provide a variety of mobility solutions. Therefore, PSA Peugeot Citroën has set a strategy with low-CO2 emission vehicles with hybrid technology:

• Since 2004, the Stop & Start technology developed by PSA has reduced fuel consumption in urban traffic by 15 percent. On the same level, PSA has also developed a mild-hybrid-technology called the “e-HDi“.

• With the world premiere of the HYbrid4-Technology in 2012, PSA Peugeot Citroën has positioned itself as a full hybrid vehicle supplier:

Four models of Peugeot (3008 HY4, 508 HY4, 508 RXH) and Citroën (DS5 HY4) combine diesel engine with electric drive in a new way and hold emission records of 91-107 g CO2/km in this competitive environment. In the first year already, 22,500 units of diesel hybrid vehicles were sold, making PSA the No. 2 supplier of hybrid vehicles in Europe.

ThePathtothe2-literAutomobile:theHybridAir-Revolution

In 2013, the company has a further goal in hybrid technology in mind, which is to make the price of Hybrid tech-nology more appealing while broadening the market. The answer from PSA Peugeot Citroën to this is called the „Hybrid Air“. It is a full-hybrid drive, which combines a petrol engine with a compressed air storage system that resulted in spectacular consumption and emissions worth of 2.9 l/100 km (CO2: 69 g/km).

Abstract


Koei SagaKoei Saga, Senior Managing Officer(*), Toyota Motor Corporation (*) appointed member of the board

On the road towards sustainable mobility, we can identify three key environmental challenges. The first is the need to diversify energy sources and to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. The second is to reduce CO2 emissions in our fight against global warming. The third is to improve air quality.

Toyota has been developing different types of electric mobility - including hybrid vehicles (HVs), plug-in-hybrid vehicles (PHVs), electric vehicles (EVs), and fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) - to help resolve environmental issues and support a low-carbon society. But it is Toyota’s strong hybrid technology that links energy sources - such as gaso-line, hydrogen or electricity - together. The technology is a facilitator as it can be applied to improve the efficiency of powertrains. We are proud that we can play a leading role in popularizing electric propulsion systems.

Last year, we marked the 15th anniversary of the world’s first mass-produced HV - the “Prius”, launched in 1997. Based on the belief that environment-friendly vehicles can only truly have a positive impact if they are used widely, Toyota has endeavored to promote the mass-market adoption of hybrid vehicles. Consumers have responded to the benefits of HVs in a resounding manner, bringing the cumulative global sales of TMC’s HVs to the 5 million-unit mark in March this year. We see this as confirmation that HVs have truly earned mainstream consumer acceptance.

The use of our HVs in the global market has saved more than 12 billion liters of gasoline and has resulted in approximately 34 million fewer tons of CO2 emissions (in comparison to fuel used and CO2 emitted by gasoline-powered vehicles of similar size). This demonstrates that in addition to being an environmental solution well accepted by consumers, hybrid powertrains are significantly contributing to efforts to resolve environmental issues.

PHVs combine the benefits of EV and HV technology and have a lot of potential for popularization: They can still be used in the same way as conventional HVs, thus removing range anxiety and concerns about lack of charging infrastructure. This means that HVs and PHVs fit today’s consumer mobility needs.

Regarding FCVs, there are still some challenges to be resolved, such as bringing the cost of the technology down. We plan to launch an FCV sedan in around 2015, and to popularize FCVs it will be important to build-up hydrogen infrastructure and improve public awareness about hydrogen and its benefits, such as transportability and storage.

Within Toyota’s powertrain roadmap for sustainable mobility, EVs are designed for short-distance commuting and FCVs for middle-to-long distances.

Dr. Rüdiger Grube CEO Deutsche Bahn AG

On 1 May 2009 Dr. Rüdiger Grube was appointed CEO and Chairman of the Management Board of Deutsche Bahn AG and DB Mobility Logistics AG.

Before joining Deutsche Bahn, Dr. Rüdiger Grube had been a member of the Board of Management of Daimler AG since 1 October 2001, where he was responsible for Corporate Development including Corporate Strategy, Mergers & Acquisitions, Industrial Participations, IT; from 1 October 2004, he also oversaw all of Daimler AG’s activities in North East Asia (including the growing Chinese market). In addition, he served Chairman of the Board of Directors of the European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company (EADS N.V.).

Born in Hamburg on 2 August 2 1951, Rüdiger Grube completed his commercial and technical training in metal aircraft construction and went on to gain a degree in automotive engineering and aircraft construction from the University of Applied Sciences in Hamburg. He later studied vocational and business teaching at the University of Hamburg. He lectured production and engineering at the University of Hamburg from 1981 to 1986. Having gained his doctorate in the areas of industrial science and polytechnology at the Universities of Hamburg and Kassel in 1986, he went on to join Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm GmbH (later Daimler-Benz Aerospace or DASA in 1989.

Abstract


Dr. Rüdiger GrubeCEO Deutsche Bahn AG

Deutsche Bahn is a leader in the field of environmentally friendly transportation in Germany. With the 2009 launch of CO2-free services for passenger transport, we have enabled our passengers to travel door-to-door in a climate-neutral way for the first time. Since April 2013 all five million BahnCard owners and all corporate clients of DB are travelling in long-distance traffic at 100% eco-electricity. With that and at it’s own charge the DB has trebled the share of long-distance journeys with renewable energy to 75%. The share of ecological power in the current tract mix is currently at 26% and is projected to reach 35% by 2020 and 100% in 2050. Simultaneously electrical vehicle are being included into the Deutsche Bahn car fleet.

As of now, 58% of all rail-passenger services in Germany are electrified and further construction will be supported by Deutsche Bahn. The technology behind electrical busses already exists; the market maturation has been reached. Our car sharing subsidiary company Flinkster operates 500 electrical vehicles in cooperation with “Multicity”. The “Call a Bike” project offers customers almost 9.000 bikes as well as pedelecs in most German cities. In addition Deutsche Bahn is pushing forward for the electrification of its own fleet: since last year, over 100 electric vehicles have been available. Further expansion is planned.

A major part of the end to end travel chains is already intermodal- we are convinced that this will continue so in the future. Therefore, the integration of an electrical travel chain consisting of rail and bus services has to be further be developed.

To meet the needs and expectations of passengers, the Deutsche Bahn is driving the interconnection of environmentally friendly transportation: our railway stations are being built with the establishment of a mobility hub equipped with charging infrastructures for electric vehicles (private use, taxis as well as car-sharing) and busses. Additionally, the Deutsche Bahn provides integrated information, accessibility and payment solutions in Berlin; a case in example would be the “BahnCard 25 mobil plus.”

Abstract


Dr. Karl-Thomas NeumannCEO Adam Opel AG

The electric vehicle market development in the last years has been non-uniform and overall slower than predicted. This is mainly caused by the technology itself, i.e. high cost for electric drivetrain and battery, combined with restrictions that fundamentally affect electric vehicles, or at least pure battery electric vehicles.

What can be done to accelerate market growth? The customer’s final purchase decision is essential for the success of electric vehicles. Thus, more potential customers need to experience the fun of electric driving. In addition, a large number of parameters affect the market, influenced or set by governments. Environmental awareness, mainly about CO2 (Europe), and a strategic interest to become independent from oil imports (China), are main drivers for government measures. These differ significantly from one region to the other.

Asia reveals at a glance the importance of infrastructure for reliable electric mobility. This builds on a stable elec-tric power grid - a pre-requisite which is still far from being met in e.g. India and other countries. Also China’s eager plans had to be corrected meanwhile, resulting in a move towards hybrid technology. The objective of the govern-ment programs is a quick catch-up of the domestic industry.

Europe is characterized by a very unhomogeneous development. A variety of market incentive programs encounters a large number of infrastructure programs within the individual countries. Even though recharging infrastructure exists in some regions, the compatibility of the billing system often ends already at a city’s limits, and in other cases, the usage of company-owned electric vehicles is adversely affected by complex taxation schemes. It is therefore not very surprising that even Europe’s best-sold electric vehicle, the Opel Ampera, made up for only about 0.5% of the brand’s sales volume in 2012.

Nevertheless, enthusiasm for electric driving is infectious. More than 80% of the European Ampera customers would buy this car again and recommend it to others. Its sister model Chevrolet Volt has topped the list in U.S. cus-tomer satisfaction surveys for the second year in a row, competing not only within its class, but with all passenger cars and brands. And this is the crucial factor for market success: The presence of “Early Adopters”, technology- en-thusiastic buyers as well as innovative companies who use electric vehicles in their fleets. The passion for electric driving will then spread quickly.

The existence of such a class of buyers probably is the best explanation for the relatively large success of electric vehicles currently in the U.S. and Japan.

Moreover, the electric vehicle is an answer to today’s megatrends, and consequently, the market(s) will continue to grow - although with different speeds. The revolutionary concept of the Ampera as an “electric vehicle without range limitation” has been leading the way for the industry. Electric vehicles are an important building block of future mobility, reaching far beyond just replacing one powertrain by another. We are experiencing a change of the automotive industry which is more profound and faster than ever before. Cooperation with other sectors like energy and urban development gains importance. Continuous investment in research and development, open-mindedness relative to new business models, mobility concepts and mobility services as well as a broad portfolio of powertrain technologies is thus the best hedging measure for future success within the industry.

Abstract


Matthias WissmannPresident, German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA)

Electric mobility means a lot more than replacing the internal combustion engine with an electric drive train and the fuel tank with a battery. It represents a technological paradigm shift and challenges the automotive industry to develop completely new types of vehicles and mobility concepts.

The German industry has a good chance of getting into pole position in the development and production of electric cars, because our companies are already at the forefront of technological development in various industries. We have drawn their competences together in the National Platform for Electric Mobility (NPE). This cooperation between industry, scientists and politicians is a success: it brings about innovations and investment that are coordinated and specifically targeted, and therefore sustainable.

The world is changing, and mobility with it. Around the world, transportation and economic activity are growing, resulting in increased demand for raw materials and sources of energy. Maintaining mobility as a force driving eco-nomic growth, while simultaneously protecting resources and the climate - this is the challenge our society faces. The transport concepts of the future must cope with the developments of a changing world, and electric mobil-ity is an essential milestone on this path. Yet the German automotive industry is not developing just one solution, but is striving to find the best solution in each case for a diverse range of automotive options. Our companies are therefore working on the continuous reduction of CO2 emissions and pollutants from internal combustion engines while developing environmentally-friendly and affordable alternative drive trains. The preparations for the safe, environmentally and climate-friendly transportation of tomorrow must be made today. For this reason, within a period of three to four years the German automotive industry alone is investing around 12 billion euro in develop-ing alternative drive trains. A large proportion of this flows into electrification of the transmission.

We are investing in the development of new systems and technologies for lightweight construction. And in the field of drive train technology, new electric motors and electronic components are being developed and produced.

The industry has taken its investment decisions. They provide a foundation for innovations and top-level techno-logies, while safeguarding value creation and jobs in Germany. As we move toward broad penetration of the volume market, today we are making important preparations for the market launch of electric vehicles in Germany. At this time it is crucial to have consistent implementation of the agreed measures along with a policy creating the necessary general conditions aligned to the maturity of the technologies and of the market.

The task now is to make electric mobility visible and tangible, and to fill users around the world with enthusiasm for the new drive train.

Abstract


Brian WynnePresident, Electric Drive Transportation Association (EDTA), USA

The Electric Drive Transportation Association (EDTA) is the cross-industry trade association promoting the advancement of electric drive technology and electrified transportation. Our members represent the entire value chain of electric drive, including vehicle manufacturers, battery and component manufacturers, utilities and energy companies, and smart grid and charging infrastructure developers. Collectively, we are committed to realizing the economic, security, and environmental benefits of displacing oil with hybrid, plug-in hybrid, battery, and fuel cell electric vehicles.

Electric drive transportation provides a global opportunity to choose energy security over oil dependence. Clean electric drive vehicles are also critical to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and other pollutants - an imperative with climate change having real impact and posing a constant threat to health and safety.

We know that electric drive technology is here to stay and growing in the marketplace. Consumers now have more choices than ever to drive electric, with offerings of diverse sizes, price points and capabilities. Since 2008, there have been over 200 hybrid vehicle models introduced for sale in the U.S. market. The number of plug-in models available to American consumers has grown from two to 14, in just over two years. That number is expected to jump to nearly 40 by the end of next year. Major automakers have joined forces on RD&D and the commercializa-tion of zero-emission fuel cell vehicles is expected by 2015. The market value of the fuel cell industry will reach $15.7 billion in 2017.

But building an emerging market to full commercial scale won’t happen overnight. Near and longer-term technologies and policies are needed to bring down costs for consumers and investors, to increase the capabilities and performance of the technologies, and to ensure that federal and state regulations effectively recognize the benefits of electric drive.

Working with industry, policy makers - regardless of global region - can speed the transformation of the world’s fleet and loosen the chains of the global oil market on regional security and economies. In the process, advanced manufacturing and technology sectors will be able to compete in the global race for energy technologies.

EDTA and our member companies are collaborating to advance a number of priorities to advance electric drive technology. We encourage leaders to help promote private investment in electric drive vehicles and infrastructure. Promoting basic research through market-threshold breakthroughs will also help accelerate technology develop-ment across the supply chain. Finally, government at all levels should coordinate and harmonize regulatory policies for electric drive vehicles and infrastructure.

There is a global energy security imperative of diversifying transportation sectors and providing consumers across the world with electric drive alternatives to oil - today and in the future.

Abstract


Berthold HuberChairman of Industrial Union of Metalworkers (IG Metall)

The automotive industry is one of the most important sectors of the German economy. From an industrial policy perspective, it is striking that German manufacturers hold a share of more than 20 percent of the world automotive production and also that the automotive industry, with 192 billion euros in exports in 2012, was the strongest ex-port sector in Germany. From an employment policy point of view, it should be noted that the automobile industry employs 750,000 people directly and another two and a half times as many in other industries. It is estimated that 3.5 million employees are attributed to the industrial clusters of the automotive industry. Also in innovation policy terms, the automotive industry is of great importance: it accounts for 1/3 of industrial R & D expenditures and 30 percent of R & D employees.

At the same time, the automotive industry is now facing the challenges of a global structural change: the local and regional public transportation services will be a key element of integrated mobility in metropolitan areas in the future. Also, due to increasing urbanization, the demand will increase for small, environmentally-friendly vehicles. At the level of individual fuel-efficient, energy-saving motors (combustion engines and electric motors), future generation models will characterize and determine market shares. Environmental aspects and energy costs in the future will increasingly affect the entire manufacturing process of automobiles. Consequently, mobility services, alternative energy means and new materials will require new skills from the industry players that can only be acquired partly in alliances. The value added in the production of classic automobiles will fall - the share of new services and components will increase. The question is when- not if.

From the perspectives of IG Metall, the importance of electric mobility for employment and training therefore deserves in this case special attention: only if the planned one million electric vehicles until 2020 becomes reality, an increase in employment will follow; only then will Germany ensure its competitive position in the automotive sector in the long run. In addition, it should be emphasized that the forthcoming structural change can cope successfully only with qualified employees. We have far too few engineers and experts in electrochemistry or professionals for lightweight construction. Therefore we need a training programme, not only in companies but also outside, in universities and competence centers.

Objectivesidentifiedforfurtherdevelopmentinelectricmobility:

1.RangeofoffersWithin the framework of market development, the variety of solutions will increase enormously, especially for private cars. The new concepts range from hybrid and plug-in hybrid solutions in vehicles still functioning with a combustion engine to pure electric vehicles which either do not have a combustion engine any more or which com-prise a range extender with an adapted custom combustion engine to generate power. This means we are witness-ing a diversification of the market segments.

2.ShiftingtheValueCreationWe thus expect supply industry to gain a greater share of the value added of the automobile. We are also witnessing the creation of opportunities for companies that have not worked in the automotive industry so far: manufacturers of electric motors, power electronics, Li-ion batteries. There is a multitude of concepts in an emerging market. This is setting calls for creativity and flexibility and thus it is offering opportunities particularly for SMEs.

3.EmploymentIn as much as the concepts of vehicles and powertrain change, so will the requirements towards the qualifica-tions of our employees. Existing offers at vocational training centres, universities as well as universities of applied sciences have to be strengthened. Given the demographic trends, we cannot afford to leave young people behind. Additionally, the proportion of women in technical professions has to increase.

4.SustainableCorporateDevelopmentAn important prerequisite for the development of the European market and its companies is an appropriate and practical standardization not only of technical interfaces but also of the interfaces to telecommunication networks and services that can be provided by mobile internet connection. As opinion polls show, mobility is no longer equated with the individual ownership of a vehicle, particularly in large cities - that is, manufacturers are well advised to expand their product portfolios by services related to electric mobility. Electric vehicles are also under-stood to be part of a decentralized energy network. The electric vehicle will be a networked smart vehicle, con-stantly exchanging information with its environment.

Abstract

With its participation in the National Platform for Electric Mobility (NPE) German industry is seeking to prepare the way for the success of electromobility in the mass market. In this initiative those active in politics and industry share a common goal. Germany must become the lead supplier and the lead market. In order to achieve this, our country needs close cooperation between the specific industrial sectors. Mobility requires new sustainable and efficient drive technologies such as electromobility. The energy turnaround in Germany reduces dependence on fossil fuels by around 2% a year up to the year 2030. The restructuring of the energy system must be successfully pursued and electromobility can be part of this system. What is important in the process is to adopt a systemic approach since, in view of the expansion of renewable energies, the use of energy in automobiles is something that is becoming more interesting. From industry’s point of view, the process of achieving a successful market launch must include regular checks on what incentives are appropriate. In addition, at the European level the revision of CO2 emissions thresholds for automobiles can create appreciable incentives for efficient, low-consumption and sustainable mobility by giving due consideration to electric cars. It is precisely the early use of electric vehicles in municipal fleets or in carsharing that can speed up the spread of these vehicles. Positive experiences with electromobility gained by the general public can ultimately also exert an influence on private car-purchasing decisions. That is also why everyday experiences with electromobility, such as with fleet operators and especially in the so-called showcases, are very important for the long-term success of electromobility. Against this background, those in the fields of industry, science and politics are working closely together on the related research and develop-ment topics, particularly within the framework of the NPE. The promotion of research and development must be carried forward as part of a continuous and ongoing process.

Didier HoussinDirector of Sustainable Energy Policy and Technology, International Energy Agency (IEA)

Regardingthefuturedevelopmentofelectricmobility,theIEAnotesthefollowingpoints:

As countries seek to address future energy requirements in a rapidly changing world, achieving sustainable transportation has emerged as a vital mission. Electric vehicles (EVs) represent one of the most promising pathways to increased energy security and reduced emissions of greenhouse gases and other pollutants.

In IEA’s two-degree scenario, which describes a future energy system that would limit average global temperature increased to two degrees by 2050, the transport sector’s potential share of overall CO2 reductions would be 21% by 2050. In order to meet this share, three-fourths of all vehicles by 2050 would need to be plug-in electric of some type.

The IEA recently released two reports at the fourth Clean Energy Ministerial in New Delhi to track progress towards this goal: the Tracking Clean Energy Progress Report, and in cooperation with the Electric Vehicles Initiative (a CEM Initiative including 15 countries and the IEA), the Global EV Outlook.

The Tracking Report shows that the world is moving too slowly to meet environmental targets. Key technologies are not being developed. The clean-energy transition appears to have stalled. Global research and development investments need to be dramatically increased.

In IEA’s Tracking Report we outline eleven progress areas that our analysis has identified as essential in a cost-effective clean-energy transition. Of these eleven interrelated areas, just two - renewable power and electric and hybrid-electric vehicles (EVs and HEVs) - are on track. The other nine are all behind with gas-fired power, industry, fuel economy, and smart grids showing limited improvement. Progress for the remaining five (nuclear power, coal-fired power, CCS, biofuels, and buildings) hardly registered in 2012.

Turning to EVs specifically, the Global EV Outlook (GEO) is the collective effort of two years of primary data gathering and analysis and is a landmark report by setting a global baseline for EV deployment.

The GEO finds that global EV sales more than doubled between 2011 and 2012, exceeding the 100,000 sales milestone, and that world EV stock stood at above 180,000 at the end of 2012. However, this still represents only 0.02% of total passenger car stock, underscoring the distance EVs still have to go.

Together EVI countries have deployed about 47,000 slow and 1,900 fast non-residential charging points 2008-2012, with related government spending equal to approximately USD 800 million on infrastructure.

EVI member governments have made substantial and consequential RD&D investments in vehicle electrification, with USD 8.7 billion in collective spending since 2008.These efforts are beginning to pay off, with battery development costs dropping from USD 1,000/kWh in 2008 to USD 485/kWh in 2012.

Market penetration will likely unfold gradually over a number of years, thus requiring a healthy dose of patience for those anticipating a new era of clean transport. Yet, the achievements that the EV market has already realized over the past two years provide a strong foundation for future growth.

Only“fit”autospermitcost-effectiveelectrificationandenabletheEnergiewende

A detailed and rigorous analysis described in a 2011 business book (www.reinventingfire.com) has shown how to run a 2.6x-bigger US economy in 2050 with no oil, coal, or nuclear energy and one-third less natural gas, at a $5-trillion lower net-present-value cost (counting all externalities at zero), with 82-86% lower fossil carbon emissions, with no new inventions and no Acts of Congress - the transition led by business for profit. These surprising results emerge from integrating all four energy-using sectors - transport, buildings, industry, and electricity - and four kinds of innovation - technology, policy, design, and business strategy. Another key is integrative design - optimizing vehicles, buildings, or factories as whole systems for multiple benefits, thereby often making very large energy savings cost less than small or no savings, and thus turning diminishing returns into expanding returns. Impressive recent energy progress in other countries, notably Germany, confirms that the Reinventing Fire approach should be widely applicable and could further accelerate the global Energiewende.

“Electric mobility made in Germany” stands for systemic, sustainable solutions that cross the boundaries of tradi-tional industries.” This core idea, which was outlined in the third report from the German National Platform for Electric Mobility (NPE) in May 2012, summarizes the shared understanding those involved have of electric mobility in Germany. A central aspect is making sure the focus is on the users and developing the whole electric mobility system around them.

The NPE comprises seven working groups that cover topics ranging from drive train technology and setting up a charging infrastructure to drawing up general conditions. These working groups are made up of high-level experts and have been promoting dialog between industries and the government right from the start. This has resulted in the development of key technical and non-technical principles.

The NPE set up the “Systemic Approach” working group in the autumn of 2012 to institutionalize the consolidation of the results into a vision for 2020 and to develop a roadmap that describes how this vision is to be implemented. This roadmap addresses the key issues that industry, government, and civil society must tackle together to help ensure that electric mobility is a success.

The working group has divided the systemic approach into four categories: vehicle engineering, energy and the en-vironment, charging infrastructure, urban planning and intermodal transport - always from a user’s point of view. Also taken into account are key aspects such as training and qualifications, standardization activities, and issues concerning information and communication technology.

The definition of “Vision 2020” clearly shows that there is a consensus in all industries and across the whole politi-cal spectrum for establishing a complete electric mobility system. The NPE is working together to make electric cars a common sight on our roads. This involves putting technically advanced, profitable products on the market that are a key part of environmentally friendly transport of tomorrow.

There are many steps required to achieve this goal, which have been incorporated into the individual categories. The NPE acts on these recommendations and implements them in its existing framework. Furthermore, it has been agreed that new issues that affect all industries but which have not yet been incorporated into the NPE need to be addressed and new alliances formed - with the aim of resolving these issues.

The latest results from the “Systemic Approach” working group serve as recommendations for the government for potential funding programs and as guidelines for cross-industry collaboration. One of the NPE’s top priorities for the future is the ongoing development of the systemic approach against the backdrop of technical and social change.

Future Security: Energy & Environment

The full potential of climate protection unfolds with electric mobility, and will only work when transportation is linked to renewable energy sources. Intelligent charging systems that run on electricity generated from renewable sources can contribute to this. The batteries of electric vehicles can serve as a fl exible storage for grid stability, in which they can be charged load-dependently and can also feed in electricity back to the grid. This forum sheds light on the potential of electric mobility as an intelligent system and energy storage in the power grid and explores the challenges of climate and environment protection. In addition, the role of energy and material effi ciency will also be discussed.

Energy and Material Efficiency for Electric Mobility

Electric mobility is an essential step on the way to sustainable mobility. Critical for progress is the battery, since an increase in battery capacity and battery life coupled with a reduction in cost are necessary to improve the appeal of electric cars. The battery cell should be viewed as a system whose components (cathode, anode, electrolyte, separa-tor) need to be perfectly matched to achieve maximum performance combined with high safety. Any breakthrough in high voltage cathode materials will depend on corresponding progress in electrolyte stability so as to enable optimal use of the increase in capacity. The chemical industry’s contribution includes systematic further develop-ment of known materials as well as basic research into radically new systems such as Li/S and Li/air batteries which promise to increase range at least two-fold. The materials employed for the purpose are much more lower-cost than those used today and are available in sufficient quantities.

Electric vehicles contribute to sustainability only if the electricity employed is obtained from renewable energy sources. With the energy mix we have in Germany today, the CO2 emissions produced by electric vehicles are only marginally lower than those of vehicles powered by modern combustion engines. Nor is energy transition possible without chemistry, as the chemical industry produces the modern materials required for wind energy and photo-voltaics, storage systems for stationary batteries, and suitable chemicals such as hydrogen and methane.

In addition to improvements in batteries, chemistry and materials science also contribute to increasing the range of electric vehicles in the areas of lightweight construction and energy management. Fiber-reinforced polymers combine low weight with freedom of design; car seats made of modern foams and thermoplastics combine comfort with lightweight construction; insulation foams and heat-repellant pigments stop vehicle interiors from overheat-ing and reduce the energy required for cooling. Organic light diodes save on electricity for lighting, solar cells on the roof recharge the batteries, magnetocaloric materials are essential for low-energy air conditioning systems.

As can be seen, chemistry’s contribution to electric mobility goes far beyond the production of materials and chem-icals for cell and battery manufacture. In terms of the battery itself, which constitutes the heart of electric mobility, the role of the chemical industry is evolving more and more from that of a supplier of chemicals to that of a cell components expert whose research is guided by a comprehensive understanding of batteries as integral systems.

Smart Communities and Next-Generation Vehicles

Smart communities and next-generation vehicles are key solutions to energy policy issues that Japan now faces after the Great East Japan Earthquake. Japan has to tackle issues such as finding a new best mix of energy sources while simultaneously ensuring energy security, economic efficiency and preservation of the environment. Because these issues are multiphase, the significance of smart communities is increasing as a potential solution as they can address various issues such as diversification of energy sources, improvement of energy efficiency and grid stabilization in parallel by combining technologies without affecting the daily lives of people. Furthermore, next-generation vehicles, including not only electric vehicles but also plug-in hybrid vehicles and fuel cell vehicles, are expected to play a major role in the development of smart communities due to an increase in energy consumption in the transportation sector.

Technological issues still stand in the way of smart community and next-generation vehicle introduction. Japan has achieved remarkable results, however, through decades of technology development activities based on the combined efforts of industry, government and academia, particularly in the fields of energy management technol-ogy and several new technologies for next-generation vehicles such as storage batteries, hydrogen infrastructure, and quick charge systems. Going forward, further technology development needs to be carried out to realize in-novations for addressing technological issues. Moreover, the dissemination and practical application of developed technologies through demonstration projects are important.

Dr. Wasaka will introduce policy initiatives and an approach for promoting and developing smart communities and next-generation vehicles under the current energy situation in Japan. He will also introduce the strategy and activities of NEDO, an incorporated administrative agency under the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and Japan’s largest public R&D management organization in the energy, environmental and industrial technology fields. In order to disseminate smart community and next-generation technologies, NEDO has undertaken technol-ogy development, demonstration and introduction in an integrated manner to deal with high-risk technological themes that are difficult for private enterprises to address by themselves.

Electric Mobility From an Energy Supplier’s Perspective

Vattenfall is an international energy company with core markets in Sweden, Germany and the Netherlands. We are involved in introducing E-mobility in all these markets and draw on the experiences gained from these diverse business environments.

The main driver for introducing Electric Mobility in Sweden is to reduce the dependency on oil and fossil fuels - the transport sector being one of the few sectors where fossil fuels are still used.

In Germany the “Energiewende” adds another but important aspect. The paradigm shift in the energy sector creates an even stronger need for storage systems in order to integrate volatile renewable energy, like wind and PV.

In the Netherlands, the Government has introduced strong incentives helping push the market for EVs. Public charging infrastructure is partly in place already.

Vattenfall believes in Electric mobility but until we have clear business cases for the end customer and for the solutions providers alike - the market development will be slow.

We see E-Mobility as one important part of an integrated energy system. Already today we are operating charging stations, providing technology innovation, and developing intelligent charging solutions for homes, offices and cities.

Batteries for Electric Vehicles and Stationary Applications

HOPPECKE batteries is the largest manufacturer of industrial batteries systems in European hands, since 1927 committed in developing, producing, marketing and servicing energy storage “Made in Germany”. As result of its trendsetting research and development work in the field of energy storage, the product portfolio of HOPPECKE includes today all well-proven innovative electrochemical storage technologies. With the design and development of forward-looking, marketable energy storage solutions HOPPECKE makes an important contribution for solving the challenges posed by the compliance of the global climate targets. With the complement of all-modern charg-ing technologies and monitoring units our comprehensive program for batteries and cells has been upgraded to build up complete systems which meet both, the qualitative and the economical requirements of our customers. HOPPECKE´s own region-wide service network for Germany and Europe is a warrant for highest safety and energy availability.

The present electric mobility projections are many-sided, standing like a pillar for the development of future mobility technologies. In particular the niche application, public transport with urban buses can be considered a forerunner for the modern electric mobility. HOPPECKE has committed itself to develop realizable and competitive concepts on the key issue energy storage technology viable for the public urban transportation in Germany.

In the case of the electric mobility, due to the requirements in energy and power density, the exclusive deployment of the lithium-ion technology is unavoidable. With the expected up scaling effects combined with mass production it will also be possible to achieve cost targets for a cost-effective, competitive application of lithium-ion batteries in stationary operations.

For the integration of renewable energies in stationary applications the lead acid technology is still the preferred option due to its operational availability, economical advantage and high recyclability. However, under extreme climatic conditions alkaline battery systems may be the favored choice.

The promotion and increase in the share of renewable energy for electricity generation together with the introduc-tion and implementation of the global climate protection instruments will carry extensive structural changes for the public electricity supply. There will be an increasing number of decentralized energy converters (e.g. photo-voltaic, wind) which has to be integrated in the distribution network. Moreover, the harmonic interaction of the existing generators with the new decentralized energy sources poses a great challenge for the disposable energy forecasting and the operating control of the distribution networks.

The management of a high number of fluctuating decentralized generators will increase the need for ancillary stationary storage systems. Electrochemical storage - i.e. strings of cells or batteries, will provide an important con-tribution in this context. The challenges posed to the ancillary stationary systems include the response to different profiles with variable time scales, i.e. the case of short time fluctuations in the net which have to be smoothed, or the case of the buffer function to cover the power demand for many hours if needed. For these purposes appropri-ate storage capacities with high service life times and cycling capabilities have to be made available. Relevant for future applications will be the operation of network coupled electrical storages and network independent storages for photovoltaic current generation, as well as the concept development for the operation of large storage systems up to 1MW power.

Potential of Electric Mobility in Climate Protection

With an energy-related CO2 emission reduction of only 5.6% between 1990 and 2010, the German transportation sector has definitely not fulfilled its contribution to climate protection.

Cars and light commercial vehicles are accounted for more than half of the CO2 emissions in the transportation sector, in which they can also be an alternative key lever to reduce CO2 emissions maximally by 2050. Fuel cell is the best option in the long run - if at all, but electric mobility is already an option today. Electric vehicles are also very quiet in operation and can thus help to reduce noise pollution in big cities.

The limited range of a pure electric vehicle is sufficient for most routine journeys. Additionally, plug-in-hybrids and vehicles with range extender in combination with a conventional electric drive make long range driving possible. A yet unpublished study by the Fraunhofer ISI on behalf of NPE shows that electric mobility in some areas might be financially worthwhile for the users in a few years’ time, especially to those with high annual mileage and high share of electrically driven kilometers.

The points for a successful electric vehicles market launch have now already been mapped out. During the transi-tion period, the increasing efficiency of conventional engines must also contribute to the reduction of CO2 emission from cars and light commercial vehicles.

To maximize the contribution of electric mobility for climate protection, the following points must be ensured:

First and foremost, electric vehicles must be operated with additionally fed electricity from renewable energy sources. Only then, these vehicles can be classified as alsmost “zero emission vehicles” while replacing fossil fuels from the German electricity mix as well as contributing to the reduction of CO2 emissions in Germany.

Secondly, development progress of batteries has to be ensured so that the driving range will continue to be on the rise as well as the proportion of purely electric driving profiles. Only then, it can be completely emission-free. Plug-in hybrids and range extenders can only be a transitional technology as long as there is a significant range limita-tion of pure battery-powered vehicles. At the same time environmentally-friendly recycling concepts and concepts for secondary use for batteries must be implemented promptly.

Thirdly, electric mobility must be understood as an element of energy transition and must be actively supported. Intelligent charging management makes the postponing of battery charging to the times of low electricity demand possible. Thus, peak load on the power line can be avoided and previously unused electricity from renewable energy sources can be integrated. These technical requirements must be made by the manufacturers in their electric vehicles. The application of electric vehicles as a flexible and portable electricity storage for grid stabilization must be verified. At the same time, viable business models that can provide users with incentives from their charging activities and constant use of their vehicle should be developed.

Intermodality: Mobility and Transportation Concept

The automobile, as we know it, is going through a radical change. We are currently right in the middle of a funda-mental system change and involve the creation of sustainable electric mobility. BMW’s “Freude am Fahren” (Joy of Driving) continues to be implemented under the regulatory and political framework and is one of the central focus of the research and engineering work of the BMW Group for the future. Through innovation in propulsion, light-weight construction, aerodynamics and energy management, BMW is the only premium manufacturer to fulfill their pledge to the ACEA commitment. For further leaps in innovation, electric mobility and a holistic approach to the matter are now mandatory. Simultaneously, more opportunities for new services and extra connectivity can be exploited. This is being offered with the new sub-brand BMW i- an approach for innovation products and services in the areas of flexible mobility, parking and internet services.

1.) Electric vehicles will be distributed not only amongst private car users but also in car sharing offers, since the mobility of the future also empowers non-car owners and integrates intermodal usage concepts for vehicles. As an example, the BMW brand DriveNow offers car sharing and flexible use of the classical vehicle ownership to a vast range of vehicles for individual mobility. More than 50,000 people have registered for this facility in Mu-nich, Berlin and Dusseldorf.

2.) Innovative features for mobility are not limited only to pure itinerancy. This can be seen in the mobility services from BMW i’s ParkNow, a service tool for finding and reserving parking.

3.) The most important drivers of the innovation and development are networked services on the Internet. The telecommunications network system is central to the proper functioning of the electric vehicle concept. It will act as a node on the Internet, together with the user’s terminal equipment with the Web’s services, transport infrastructure and other vehicles. Yet the success of e-mobility also depends on availability of information con-cerning status, range, battery charge level and available e-charging stations in the current area. BMW i provides all the above with the ConnectedDrive package.

With the start of the series production of the emission-less BMW i3 in 2013, we are revolutionizing the automotive industry and in this manner, give the mobility of tomorrow a unique appearance. We believe in the electric mobil-ity and opportunities and thus we present the BMWi as the worthy solution.

Location Services Contribution to Sustainable Urban Mobility

Global cities are hubs of innovation and centers for social change, meaning mobility within them is essential to ensure personal freedom and to foster economic growth. But cities today are growing faster than ever and with this growth comes limits to mobility and threats to progress. Traffic causes pollution, congestion and noise. With this infrastructure planning becomes far more complex, presenting urban planners with numerous challenges: Mod-ern urban architecture must evolve to reflect the limits of space and resources and at the same time accommodate the needs of the people living in those cities, and transportation planning must focus on relieving congestion, providing better access and increasing efficiency. Electric vehicles play an important role in meeting these challenges and securing mobility within cities. Solving problems that electric vehicles are facing such as engine range and battery life are not only relevant for car manufacturers but also for consumers and they must be answered in order to achieve a broad consumer acceptance. We believe that location and mapping services can significantly contribute to answering these problems. For example an application within the car can use the map to intelligently switch the motor fully to electric around schools or hospitals and other quiet areas. Or cars with smarter maps can use Advanced Driver Assistance Systems ( ADAS) to increase range. Location services can even get people out of their cars altogether letting them know about better public transport routes.

Inner-city Delivery with Electric Vehicles

The logistics sector has profited for years from the strong economic growth and the increase in international trade. With its share of 13 percent of worldwide CO2 emissions, the transport and logistics sector has a special responsibil-ity in the struggle against climate change. As a leading logistics enterprise, Deutsche Post DHL has set itself the goal of achieving a 30% CO2 emissions improvement for itself and its subcontractors by the year 2020.

The goal of reducing CO2 emissions is directly connected to a significant reduction of the fuel and energy consump-tion of our enterprise. Moreover, this reduction must be reconciled with the high-quality, individual services our clients have come to expect from us.

With our GoGreen programme, we are developing a whole range of solutions and measures to tackle this challenge. In the area of inner-city road transportation in particular, there is the general expectation that local exhaust and noise emissions should be reduced. Thus, introducing green technologies in this area is an important component of our logistics. Already today, our electric delivery vehicles are contributing to reducing emissions and noise. In the year 2013, Deutsche Post DHL is successfully using over 200 electric vehicles in its operations in order to test this technology at an early stage and to contribute to optimising it together with its developers and manufacturers.

Electric Mobility and Transport Concepts

A growing awareness for sustainability - especially related to environmental issues - has lead to a paradigm change in the debate on mobility-related topics. But, instead of integrating them into an intelligent network, the different transport modes are mostly turned against each other in the political and social debate. In the field of urban transportation planning, changes in perception of private vehicle use lead to a pressure on car drivers, who now have to justify their behaviour. The result, however, is a stalemate between car drivers, bicycle users and public transport. Resolving this conflict is the main challenge in integrated transportation planning: to have a close look at the topics that open up on all sides of these extreme positions. This applies to relations between individual and public transport, for example, strengthening the link between different transport networks or even the recently re-launched discussion on car-sharing concepts. A similar situation is observed in the freight traffic sector: There is a wide range between LHVs and cargo bikes which can be filled. This begs several new questions such as: How do I motivate companies to switch to smaller transportation units, to smarter and more efficient logistics or decentral-ized storage points?

Today, users still perceive electric cars as a substitute for conventional combustion vehicles. Consequently, the current practicability of electric cars is compared to the conventional vehicles - potential innovative solutions are neglected. Based on an investigation of commercial users’ experience, the large range of problems faced by using electric vehicles was put into perspective. The identified usability issued need to be considered in order to signifi-cantly increase the share electric vehicles and thus encourage multimodal traffic behaviour.

Discussions on new e-mobility concepts are as important as electric vehicle engineering debates. Hence, the users’ perception on electric vehicles as innovative mobility concept will be investigated in the scope of four different re-search projects launched this year: (1) Smart E-User: EVs as part of business passenger traffic. (2) City2E: e-mobility concepts for “on-street parker”. (3) E3-Combined Charging System: Identification of consumer and service product bundles for a transition to e-mobility. (4) G3-EFFF: e-mobility training for driving instructors and fleet operators: Motivation and diffusion of e-mobility as “Mobility of the future”.

Vehicle Innovations: Technologies & Concepts

Electric Mobility is the key to climate-friendly and sustainable mobility. For the car manufacturers this technological change - from usual combustion engines towards emission-free mobility - is almost tantamount to the reinvention of the automobile. Hence engineers are working hard on developing various vehicle and mobility concepts worldwide. German manufacturers are in their preparatory phase with more than 15 new electric vehicle models for series production by the end of 2014. Therefore, it is important to continue to emphasize the cross-sectorial collaboration with NPE.

Vehicle Innovations: Technologies and Concepts

Our understanding of mobility today is facing a paradigm shift. Finite fossil resources as well as climate change dominate the public debate, and global efforts in the area of environmental protection are becoming increasingly important. Despite this trend we are faced with a constantly growing global demand for mobility.

Electric mobility is a key to environmentally friendly, sustainable mobility and at the same time represents an op-portunity for the Germany economy. This opportunity is there for the taking and the time for adopting the right course of action is now. Germany should become the market leader for electric mobility by 2020. A very ambitious, but undeniably necessary goal, which all involved parties - both from industry as well as politics - must tackle together.

Such a technological change - from the conventional combustion engine to zero-emission mobility in the long term - encompasses some major cross-sector challenges and calls for effective innovation management. This is because only a functioning overall system made up of the vehicle, energy supply and transport infrastructure will smooth the way for nationwide electric mobility. Industry is investing in the entire electric mobility value-added chain - from the battery and drive systems, lightweight construction, energy management and vehicles, through to intelligent charging technology and the integration of renewable energies.

According to all of the parties involved, battery technology is one of most critical factors for future-oriented elec-tric mobility. Particular focus is therefore being placed on setting up cell and battery production for the develop-ment of electric mobility in Germany. Here priorities include competitive production and manufacturing tech-nologies as well as the production process itself - from obtaining materials and the development of new production processes, through to post lithium-ion technology, new battery designs and integration of the battery into the vehicle’s overall energy and thermal management system.

Networking with the research alliance in the demand area of mobility, as well as consistent application in practice, are also making a contribution to overall success: German automotive manufacturers will therefore be launching more than 15 new electrified vehicle models onto the market during the market preparation phase up to 2014. The challenges are complex, therefore today, more than ever, it is important to combine know-how and resources in a sensible manner.

As part of this, the cross-sector work of the NPE forms a fundamental basis for the successful introduction of electric mobility in Germany. The networking of industry and science in close cooperation with politics and society serves as an example and helps to strengthen our competitiveness when it comes to sustainable mobility across all modes of transport. We will continue the successful work of the NPE vigorously. Here we will also focus in the coming years on the further optimisation of energy storage, electric motors and electronic controls, as well as their integration and weight-saving design.

Series Production of Premium Class Electric Vehicles

Tesla Motors was founded in 2003 by a group of intrepid Silicon Valley engineers including Elon Musk and JB Straubel who still serve as CEO and CTO of the company, respectively. They set out to prove that electric vehicles could be exciting and superior to gasoline vehicles in many aspects. Tesla’s goal is to accelerate the world’s transi-tion to electric mobility with a full range of increasingly affordable electric cars. We’re catalyzing change in the industry. Tesla vehicles and EVs powered by Tesla are fun to drive and environmentally responsible: The Tesla Roadster started delivery in early 2008 as the and the first EV with a range greater than 200 miles. Today, over 2,300 Roadsters operate in more than 37 countries. Model S and Model X are the next step in Tesla’s strategy to accelerate the world’s transition to electric mobility. Model S started delivery in mid-2013 and Tesla is currently producing around 100 vehicles per day out of our Fremont factory. Nearly 5,000 Model S EVs were delivered in just the first quarter of 2013 and Tesla is on track to deliver 20,000 units for the full year. The Model S has won international acclaim with consumers and critics, including the Motor Trend 2013 “Car of the Year” award and receiving 99/100 points in the extended Consumer Reports testing that was heralded as “The best car they have ever tested.” These awards are against all new vehicles as competition, not just other EVs, and it proves our initial hypothesis that elec-tric drive - if engineered well - can deliver superior performance and a superior customer experience than petro-leum internal combustion. In Q1 of 2013, the Tesla Model S was the best-selling plug-in vehicle worldwide with also the longest driving range.

At Tesla our technology foundation relies on designing a tightly integrated EV propulsion system. We internally design and manufacture all core comments including the battery pack, drive inverter, motor, gearbox and charger. We believe that for large-scale acceptance EVs need a range of greater than 300 km. Achieving this range in a com-petitive price range is the most difficult challenge. Simply removing energy storage, and range, to reduce cost does not serve the customer or market well. Our ongoing R&D focus is on reducing the core technology cost to enable greater value in each product generation. We focus most intensely on $/kWh of energy storage and on $/kW of onboard energy conversion systems.

Finally, our newest innovation relates to an expanded system of rapid DC charging. The Model S is the fastest charging production vehicle in the market and Tesla is building a network of DC “Superchargers” that today deliver 100 kW to each vehicle. This system is in operation and daily usage by thousands of Model S drivers in the United States and will be launching into Europe in late summer of 2013. The energy is provided at no cost by Tesla to Model S customers that have selected this option.

Electrification Made to Order - Perspective of a System Supplier on Electric Mobility

What is the current state of electric mobility? In the areas of electric vehicles (EVs) and high-voltage hybridization many different solutions can be found in the market by now. However, those solutions do not yet sufficiently meet the drivers’ real-world requirements. In contrast to this, entry-level hybridization, such as stop-start systems, is widely accepted by the customers.

Against this background the presentation will reveal that there is a gap in the choice of technical options between this type of entry-level hybridization and high-voltage hybrids or EVs. Based on that observation the presentation introduces the solutions suggested by Continental to speed up the roll-out of electromobility in substantial num-bers. The core of this strategy is a new approach called “Tailored to fit Electrification”. The building blocks of an in-dustrial modularized system shall make it easier and more economic to take the real-world requirements of drivers towards electrification into consideration. This applies even while it is still uncertain which kind of adjustments are to be expected from politics. Tailored to fit Electrification facilitates to electrify existing vehicles/segments in finely graduated steps according to vehicle buyers requests and with transparent benefits. Introducing the “48 Volt Eco Drive” concept, the advantages of a second on-board voltage level for medium level hybridization are explained. The Plug-in Hybrid innovation vehicle is used to highlight the next higher level of hybridization, and expected efficiency benefits are predicted. An existing vehicle which has been turned into an EV by Continental serves to il-lustrate the company’s solution know-how for electric driving. Around 40 proprietary EV specific components were used for that purpose. In addition the presentation stresses that electrification is more than just a powertrain issue. It can only be done optimally by extending across domains. The range includes driver assistance functions, based on camera and/or radar technology, covers vehicle networking, and goes right through to solutions which add the benefit of a greater comfort to the customer.

Lightweight Concepts for Electric Vehicles

Appropriate driving performance, agility, the fulfillment of ecological requirements as well as reasonable pricing are prerequisites for a broad acceptance of electric vehicles. New materials and advanced recycling technologies have to deliver a significant contribution to making electric mobility economical and sustainable.

The weight of an electric vehicle has a major impact on its driving dynamics and cruising range. The battery in particular accounts for a significant share of the vehicle`s total weight due to its relatively low energy density and therefore high specific mass. Compared to a car powered by conventional fossil fuel, an electric vehicle has to carry along considerably more weight to meet customers’ requirements regarding driving performance and cruising range. The reduction of the vehicles mass as well as the use of energy recuperation will reduce power demand and therefore allow for smaller batteries. The long-running trend of increasing both costs and weight has to be turned around by using cost effective light weight materials. Resource and cost efficient light weight construction concepts are key to building future vehicles at attractive cost, especially in the case of electric vehicles with their specific vehicle package and safety requirements.

After giving a short general introduction on the topic of light weight materials in electric vehicles, Dr. Kroos will present the NPE`s concept of a functional integrated light weight design system. Different light weight concepts will be given as examples before concluding with an outlook on the various activities of NPE.

Education & Qualification Electric Mobility - Transition from an Elective Course to an Interdisciplinary Core Competence

Only a few universities in Germany have been offering courses on “Unconventional Vehicle Drivetrains” for decades. What appeared unconventional yesterday is already available in today´s vehicles and will become standard by tomorrow.

Within the European project “JobVehElec”, the Institute for Automotive Engineering at RWTH Aachen University analysed the demand for education and qualification concerning electric mobility for future engineers, as well as the established offers of leading European universities. According to this study, engineers need excellent funda-mental engineering skills and on top specialised competences in mechanics, electronics and information tech-nologies in order to interdisciplinary analyse and solve tomorrow´s technological challenges. Up till now, bachelor and master degrees in electric mobility have been established at 13 European universities. Besides, 29 courses of studies have been identified, which focus on electric mobility in different curricula. Nevertheless, the focus of these courses differs significantly.

In the near future, a specific initiative in Germany is going to continue this analysis at national level. In contrast to the study at European level, the entire range of educational paths, from apprenticeships over universities of applied sciences up to universities will be examined in order to identify best practices for education and qualification. It appears necessary to strengthen the diversity of these educational paths, since skilled workers, technicians, master craftsmen, graduates from universities of applied sciences and graduates from universities are equally needed. This unique educational system has been proven - and currently is proven again by the German automobile industry - to be a key success factor in a strong global competition.

In the medium term, any qualified employee in the automotive industry ranging from a skilled worker to an en-gineer holding a doctor´s degree has to have a fundamental knowledge not only of mechanics but also of electrics, electronics and software. This is not in contradiction with the need for specialization but forms the basis for a successful interdisciplinary collaboration. Therefore, the diversity of educational offers, e.g. separate degrees for electric mobility, need to be consolidated in the medium term, since “electric mobility” will become an integral part of automotive engineering.

Qualification Initiatives for Electric Mobility in the Automotive Sector

Electric Mobility is no longer just a catchword for a social vision. It rather describes a development toward the end of using fossil energy sources for mobility purposes and goes along with a number of political initiatives. The National Development Plan of the Federal Government of Germany of 2008 (http://www.elektromobilitaet2008.de) paved the way for tangible measures to achieve and implement comprehensive objectives. One of the most impor-tant targets: “One million electric vehicles on Germany’s streets by the year 2020.”

In order to reach this goal, numerous project initiatives have been launched since 2008, mostly with a focus on the technological development. There were, however, significantly fewer qualification initiatives. The high diversification and variety of the projects as well as rather peripheral qualification initiatives result in the development of concrete qualification offers without considering systematically assessed qualification requirements. So far qual-ification requirements are rather defined from the point of view of special interest groups and the technological development. In addition, engineering oriented approaches for qualification are mainly in the centre of interest. A working group (No. 6) of the National Platform Electromobility has dealt with the questions of academic and vocational education and has drafted recommendations for actions for the different stakeholders and sectors. Nevertheless various actors and sectors have developed their own training courses. This resulted in an offer-driven market (instead of a structurally reflected initial and further training system) that generates demand with the aid of different measures such as e.g. drawing attention to work safety aspects. Trade associations work out regula-tions for the handling of high-voltage technology and connect them to qualification concepts that are taken up and implemented as training offers by manufacturers, suppliers, academies, the technical control boards, the chambers and vocational technical schools.

The meanwhile existing qualification offers are clearly focused on the reduction of hazards for skilled workers in production and service facilities as well as the safety of rescue workers (fire brigade, Federal Agency for Technical Relief). The specification laid down in the document for information No. 8686 (BGI) was implemented without changes. These offers also appeal to the target groups to qualify in time for their work with HV vehicles in order to be legally protected in the event of an insurance case.

Qualification offers developed in the workshop practice and based on emerging qualification requirements could so far not be identified. Nevertheless the providers of continuing training are increasingly trying to meet such requirements. There is a considerable need for action which should be tackled as soon as possible.

Vocational Training in the Field of Electric Mobility

Although the previous tendency was for a somewhat critical view to be taken of the German dual training system internationally, this perspective has changed radically in recent times. Many countries now believe that strength-ening learning which is more workplace-related will produce better skilled workers for their industries and bring about a reduction in the huge levels of youth unemployment.

The cross-sectional technology of the electric mobility sector is a particular example of the dynamism and flex-ibility that the German dual system of initial and continuing training is able to deliver. Numerous adjustments have already been made in order to react to the new competence requirements. This is particularly apparent in the vehicle technology occupations.

The occupational profile of the vehicle mechatronics technician has been modernised and will be launched in an updated form in 2013. Contents relevant to e-mobility will now be imparted from the second half of training onwards, particularly within the main focus area of “High-voltage technology and networked systems”.

This realignment of the training occupation will be followed by an adaptation of courses within the field of inter-company apprenticeship instruction. This will ensure that even trainees who do not come into direct contact with electric mobility within their companies will still have acquired the necessary competences by the end of training.

The advanced training courses leading to the qualification of motor vehicle service technician and the profile for the master craftsman examination will also be adapted.

There is great potential for change with regard to e-bikes which is currently being responded to via the ongoing updating of the occupation of bicycle mechanic.

Within the field of vehicle manufacturing, the use of new materials and new joining techniques requires an updating of the vocational education and training in the occupation of motor vehicle body and vehicle construction mechanic. This is also now being investigated.

In the field of the electrical occupations, numerous advanced and continuing training courses have been developed which address the whole spectrum of energy management in buildings.

With regard to Germany’s climate policy objectives, however, the focus also needs to be on the operation of e-vehicles using electricity from renewable energies. To this end, BIBB is, for example, currently conducting a number of pilot projects to identify the competences required by skilled workers for the installation, commis-sioning and maintenance of off-shore plants. This is another area in which the German dual system of initial and continuing training is reacting in a flexible manner to new requirements.

In general terms, BIBB is concentrating on the question of which initial and continuing training courses need to be developed in order to adequately meet the skills requirements of companies in the branch.

One final aspect should be briefly touched upon here. Especially in the field of electric mobility and renewable energies, new dual courses of study have been constantly developed in recent years. In terms of the in many cases demanded permeability they achieve an extraordinary contribution for the linkage of vocational education and training and academic education. Here the amount of practise oriented content is varying very much. It ranges from a complete dual education up to the point of a training-semester.

Education and Qualification of Engineers in the Automotive Industry

Although automotive technology receives less attention than modern information technology products, there is nearly no other mass product which requires such a large number of different disciplines in its development. The spectrum covers mechanical and electrical engineering, physics and chemistry, embedded software, telematics, cloud and multimedia computing, and even includes economic psychology and social sciences.

The daily visibility and perception of the automobile product induces high environmental requirements by the society and forces industry to work on different technical options. Engineering service providers (ESP) such as AVL can help OEM’s by offering flexible solutions to highly complex issues in electric mobility.

To act as an attractive player in the electric mobility market, an ESP must provide highly innovative solutions in the area of e-motors, power electronics, battery, controls, simulation and component testing. The range of products that an ESP works with may vary from a first concept study to building a prototype, including single components or system development to industrialization support. It is the comprehensive “know-how” of our employees which marks the key asset of our company.

Today, automotive technology development is characterized by a high degree of complexity across several disciplines. Education in these specific disciplines together with a fundamental engineering knowledge defines the requirement of our engineers; in addition interdisciplinary understanding and extraordinary communication skills are requested to collaborate in multidisciplinary and multicultural teams.

Engineering in electric mobility can no longer be carried out in a discrete step by step process but often requires a variety of partially interactive solutions. This adds new fast and creative learning opportunities for our engineers. Which requires companies to offer frequent and comprehensive internal and external training programs and its employees to have the motivation to make use of them. This training may include technical lectures, targeted training as well as program management to language courses for both foreign and domestic employees.

AVL offers a variety of different training programs to its engineers, like weekly college lessons, special colloquia, training sessions of several days duration in the AVL academy up to a one-year trainee program including an inter-national assignment.

There is also strong emphasis for a close working collaboration with universities. For example, AVL runs joints research projects in order to foster qualified education for its engineering students. In return the university students gain closer working collaboration and practical knowledge of “real-world” engineering in the field of electromobility. This also helps students to make early contacts through internships and work experiences towards future job selection.

In the past, automotive technology was always the innovation driver in many disciplines; this position has to be kept in order to maintain access to the best talents in the job market.

Success Factors: Standards & Charging Infrastructure

The successful positioning of the industry in the electric mobility market already requires the setting and propagation of international standards when it is still in its development phase. The challenge is to coordinate the diverse activities such as different demands and targets from various sectors as well as to integrate the overlapping systems. There is a special role to be played by the interface of electric vehicles and the grid system, in which it establishes the link with renewable energy sources. For this purpose, a number of innovative technologies such as fast charging and wireless charging will be tested. This forum will discuss on how standardization can contribute to the interoperability and security of the charging infrastructure.

Success Parameters: International Standardization and Charging Infrastructure

Electric Mobility is key to redefine global mobility in terms of climate-friendliness and sustainability.

For successful implementation, a long-term approach across all nations will be mandatory to reflect the truly global nature of electric mobility.

Political leaders, scientists and industry representatives are called upon to establish an effective framework to support the entire process, starting with market preparation. International norms and standards are indispensable prerequisites to secure planning and investment for the electromobility markets.

Norms are essential to ensure both safety and quality as well as efficient resource utilization.They are instrumen-tal to enable the interoperable use of electric mobility and the successful implementation of future innovations. Norms contribute to secure investments in vehicles and charging infrastructure. Internationally harmonized norms and standards for electric mobility will empower users to smoothly charge their vehicles wherever they are.

A particular challenge is to coordinate, harmonize and communicate the variety of activities as launched by different industries, according to their respective needs. Managing the interface between e-vehicles and grid will be a significant success factor once it comes to connect electric mobility and renewable energy sources. At present, a number of innovative technologies such as quick charging and cableless charging undergo a dedicated test phase.

This forum will address how consistent standardization will contribute to an interoperable and safe charging infrastructure in Europe.

Success Story Standardization Roadmap Electric Mobility

Electromobility has to be understood as a comprehensive system in which the automotive industry, electrical engineering, energy industry and information technology sector come together. For there to be such a market, it requires international standards. The electromobility system can only be successful if the development of the nec-essary standards and norms are coordinated across all industries and country borders in a targeted and coordinated way. This understanding was the force behind the initiation of the German Standardization Roadmap Electromo-bility. At the beginning of 2010, a group of experts, which was jointly organized by the standards organizations VDE/DKE and VDA/NA Automobil in DIN, started the work under the strategic leadership of the Working Group 4 (Standardization and Certification) of the NPE. In November 2010, representatives of the electrical industry, energy industry and automotive industry submitted the Version 1.0 of the Standardization Roadmap. This comprehensive publication is presenting the current status of the standardization, standardization-demands including priorities and schedules for the coming years as well as necessary frame conditions. The up-to-dateness of the Roadmap is monitored in regular intervals by the AG4 and ensured through corresponding revisions. At the moment, Version 2.0 A is presented.

A central demand of the Roadmap is the international cooperation during the standardization and harmonization of the standards. The example of the Combined Charging System (CCS) shows this in particular. The CCS combines the possibility of AC charging with DC fast charging in one standardized physical and normative system. The CCS sys-tem is promoted in the so-called type 2 design by all European automobile manufacturers and was demanded to be established as a uniform standard in Europe in the announcement of the EU Commission published in January 2013.

The special requirements of the US market could be considered due to an early coordination of the CCS planning described in the Roadmap with the American interest groups. The result was an US version of the CCS which, ex-cept for the contact part for AC charging that corresponds to the type 1 standard applied in the USA, is completely identical with the European version. Both types were incorporated into the international standardization (IEC 62193-3).

Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Development - Role of the Distribution Service Operators in the Electric Mobility Mass Roll-out

With several OEMs delivering new Electric Vehicles (EVs) to the market in 2013, Utilities and particularly Distri-bution Service Operators (DSOs) are facing new technical challenges and business opportunities. Although the adoption curve is still ramping up slowly, EVs impact on the electricity grid might jeopardize a future widespread adoption if EVs-related loads are not included in DSO planning criteria and network management strategies. Ad-ditionally, EV business seems still to be locked in a “chicken-egg” loop, with OEMs production plans coped with charging points availability on one side and charging points providers avoiding risky investments due to low market shares of EVs on the other side. A disruptive business model set to break the aforementioned loop is cur-rently under successful test in Italy, with the DSO as the main actor committed to the charging infrastructure deployment. From a technology adoption perspective, such a model lowers the investments risks for charging infrastructure which is embedded in the regulated asset base of the DSO; reduces the mark-up for infrastructure in the final price of electric mobility customers; guarantees an universal access to the public charging infrastructure, preventing from rising of technology divide issues as already happened for broad-band communications; provides a neutral, indiscriminate multi-vendor platform which enhances interoperability, competition and delivery of B2C services from electric mobility service providers to the EV drivers; implements a ready-to-market application of Smart Grids, ensuring the best network safety profile for EVs integration into the electricity grid and facilitating the usage of electric mobility for a granular renewables integration at LV and MV level, integrating e-mobility ICT layers with legacy ones, both owned and operated by the DSO.

Headstone for such a business model is a smart recharging infrastructure, deployed in Italy to leverage the smart metering infrastructure created by Enel in the first decade of XXI century, with a massive 34 million smart meters rollout. Smart meters serve as the fundamental backbone of Smart Grids, and they do represent also the very heart of Enel charging infrastructure solutions, for private and public usages. Besides providing the basic end-user serv-ices related to the EV charging process, including the fulfillment of safety and communication standards, revenue-grade billing guaranteed by the embedded Enel’s smart meter and up-to-43 kW power output capability for a 30 mins recharge, Enel’s charging points do also provide additional features with the online smart management guaranteed by the Electric Mobility Management System (EMMS), a dedicated multi-tenancy IT system connected to the DSO legacy systems, able to provide B2B and B2C services to e-mobility stakeholders, including charging point location and booking, roaming service between pan-European e-mobility provides as designed through Green eMotion project by using the Clearing House concept, billing, consumption monitoring, network planning and asset management.

In conclusion, this presentation shows a comprehensive description of e-mobility DSO-based pilot project in Italy, with more than 700 charging stations installed and remotely managed through the EMMS, and the basics of Smart Grids integration of EVs, leading to smart charging features and more advanced services that are going to be key for enhancing market penetration of EVs. The DSO is the key player to lower service and infrastructure fees, maximiz-ing the DER integration, making available to the final customer an open and accessible infrastructure to recharge EVs. For these reasons, a suitable business model with the DSO in charge of infrastructure deployment is currently under test in Italy, and main outcomes are presented.

Charging Infrastructure and the Need for Energy Management

The breakthrough of electric mobility as a CO2-neutral mobility concept of the 21st century depends on various success factors. In some points it also requires rethinking from all stakeholders: This will allow electric car users for example to not having to stop for refueling, but the vehicle will always be refueled - recharged - when it is parked anyway.

Besides offering attractive vehicles for various uses, further improvement for an affordable battery technology with more capacity and thus greater range as well as shorter charging time, both energy management and the establishment of an adequate charging infrastructure play a significant role. Only cooperation with all framework conditions can lead to a wider user acceptance and achieve a breakthrough in electric mobility.

The widespread use of electric vehicles requires a battery-charging technology where the charging infrastructure itself will allow drivers to recharge anytime and anywhere to ensure a guaranteed maximum-range and meet their mobility demands as justly as possible.

True to the principle, “Charge, when I stop”, charging possibilities are required in various private and urban settings, for example, inside the home garage or any parking spot in residential areas as well as near the workplace. The scenarios mentioned require an estimated amount of 80% of charging infrastructure. In addition, there is also a need for it in every parking garage, public car parks, shopping centers, and parking lots for vehicle fleets.

This extensive charging infrastructure depicts an additional demand for electric energy that will enable users to retrieve an electric car whenever and wherever they wish to, to stay mobile. Additionally, electro mobility should preferably use renewable energy for the sake of the environment. It is clear that charging infrastructures has to be an integral part of the Smart Grid, so that the consumption and generation of energy can be closely coordinated and at the same time, energy producers and consumers can communicate with each another for a secured energy supply. Electromobility is bound with the issue of energy management. Therefore, it is an absolute necessity that the charging stations as the core components of the charging infrastructure are compatible with the Smart-Grid.

Towards the mass roll-out of electric mobility, research, development, and cooperation play an essential role. The EUREF Campus in Berlin - a model project for an energy-autonomous city district - offers with its continuously developing Micro Smart-Grid excellent opportunities to test and develop the interaction of intelligent charging and supply infrastructures. In the immediate vicinity, institutions such as InnoZ, TU Campus EUREF and companies such as EUREF AG or Schneider Electric, can help to push the development of mobility for the future.

Standardization as Key to Electric Mobility

For electric mobility to be truly successful, standardization plays a particularly important role. Standards provide a higher level of safety in the usage and charging of electric vehicles and at the same time ensure investments. Uniform standards open access to the widest possible network of charging stations and serve the goal that current charging should be possible for everyone everywhere for a limitless mobility.

In particular, there is much focus on the interface between electric vehicles and charging stations. This applies, on the one hand, to the connection of the physical connector on the car to the charging socket in case of wired charging. On the other hand, this also relates to bi-directional data communication between the vehicle and the charging station. The energy revolution that has already begun locally and nation-wide, will aid in helping e-cars to conserve resources. Intelligent charging enables not only an active load management to avoid overload situations but also the best possible mix of renewable energies.

A case in the success of standardization is the establishment of a norm for the Type 2 charging plug. It is now stand-ard for safe, fast and intelligent charging with wide distribution in North, Central and Southern Europe. Depending on national regulations, Type 2 charging sockets are either produced as a variant with and a variant with no shutter in use. In France there has been until now the promotion of developing charging infrastructures with stations that are equipped with the alternative standard type 3-pin connector.

In early 2013, the European Commission had proposed the Type 2 connector plug to be used as the standard European plug. In a European market, the connector has the advantage of simple and ergonomic handling and profitability as well as exploits the technical advantages of multiple securities or a high performance of up to 43 kW for a very fast AC charging. The plug standard provides for the possibility of bidirectional exchange of data and is a bridge to the international standard for the so-called “vehicle-to-grid” communication.

As a globally uniform standard ISO/IEC 15118-1, the scope for data exchange has been adopted in April 2013. It is an important milestone because only the smooth exchange of information between car and station makes for an effective electric mobility. So this automatic identification method of the vehicle can be used consistently world-wide in the future without additional aids such as RFID cards at the loading station (Plug & Charge). Intelligent communication is also a prerequisite for the electric vehicles’ compatible network load and green power to be used for the new mobility. Innovations for services in the field of electric mobility are possible and the interoperability of infrastructure from different suppliers can be developed, until pan- European e-roaming has been achieved.

Framework Conditions: User Acceptance & Value Creation

Electric vehicles will become a real alternative through purchase and use. Results from pilot experiments show that there is an increase in the acceptance of electric mobility through offers and concepts such as the intelligent integration of electric cars into the daily life of consumers and also combining them with other means of transport. The possibility of testing plays an important role - decision for the actual purchase or continuous usage is ultimately an immediate experience, in relation to the better driving dynamics or in everyday life. The possible creation of user acceptance using examples from national and international context and the importance of integrated solutions will be discussed in this forum.

New opportunities via Electric Mobility - User Acceptance and Value Creation

The transformation of energy systems towards sustainability is becoming reality. The reconstruction of the energy supply can potentially contribute towards a CO2-free transportation system in the medium to long term. Electric Mobility offers the opportunity to support this transformation process sustainably. Additionally, it also increases life quality to a higher level in cities. This is especially true for mega cities which are exponentially growing. With this the introduction of electromobility adds a new cultural dimension.

Electric Mobility will play a special role in future development since its coupling with renewable energy sources contributes an important step towards a sustainable economy. It also offers many opportunities for science and industry in Germany and Europe, especially in strengthening competitive positions and catching up in key areas such as ICT, energy storage, and vehicle navigation system. With this new mobility concept, Germany has posi-tioned itself as a leading location in science and industry in the last decades. However, the economic rise of young industrialized nations not only leads to market growth in Asia and South America, but also to a new division of labor in innovation and production. This development will not only lead to growth opportunities to those who are involved, but also poses challenges for existing and new players.

Resolute and long-term initiatives of the German Federal Government to support research and innovation in the field of electric mobility and to increase the acceptance of electric vehicles are still needed to support this process meaningfully. The German government and economic system are currently putting in their best effort to become an international leader in the post-fossil mobility. The automotive industry has an outstanding economic impor-tance in Germany. In intermediate-term, Germany hopes to play the role as the leading provider in the field of mobility. This can only succeed if Germany sets sufficient measure in the field of electric mobility. For this purpose, the entire system of mobility needs to be adjusted or even renewed - which is certainly not an easy task in a federal system. Achieving a high user acceptance will depend on both the availability of attractive electric cars as well as the design of the infrastructure and the business models of mobility providers.

Electric Mobility in Oslo

The City of Oslo has been described as the Electric Vehicle (EV) capital of Europe. Presently there is around 2,600 EV in the Capital and around 5,950 EV in the Oslo urban area (estimated figures for April 2013). This makes Oslo one of the words largest markets for introduction of EVs. The City itself has procured low emission vehicles for its munici-pality fleet in accordance with its Green Municipality Program. Currently the new framework tender for the City’s procurement and leasing of vehicles only allows for zero emission EVs. The tender will contribute to acquire 1,000 EVs in Oslo over the next years and thus be a strong policy instrument for further increasing the number of EV in the City of Oslo.

Electric cars are one of the strategies for Oslo for both improving air quality, reducing noise and combating climate change. The charging of the electric vehicles is facilitated by around 500 public and free charging stations provided by the city, powered by Norwegian hydro power. This year there will be installed another 200 charging stations on public ground in Oslo. Currently there is a total of 977 normal charging stations and 13 rapid charging stations available for the EV drivers in Oslo.

The electric mobility scheme in Oslo is an integrated part of a strategy for sustainable city transport: the use of road charging is contributing significantly to reduce the mileage of private cars on the main road system in Oslo. The road charging contributes in both financing public transport investments and operations, reducing car transport and contributing to public transport growth of 30% over the last decade. The toll road system is furthermore a corner stone of a holistic incentive scheme for introducing electric vehicles:

• High purchase taxes and yearly road charges for fossil cars, exemption for zero emission cars• Toll ring for fossil cars ( 3-5 Euro), but no charges for zero emission vehicles• VAT refund for zero emission cars• Use of lanes reserved for public transport • Free parking and charging in the City centre• Funding scheme for charging stations

These incentives have proven efficient to trigger for introducing EV’s in the Oslo urban area. In Norway there is already almost 12.000 EV on the roads, most of them privately owned. Thus the Oslo case is a showroom for how it is possible to go beyond piloting EVs and achieve a significant market introduction with high growth rate.

The City of Oslo has also included Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEV) in the Electro mobility scheme. Currently there are 4 stations for in the Oslo region to enable piloting 17 FCEV. In addition to this, Oslo and the county of Aker-shus are piloting five hybrid FC busses in regular traffic as a part of the Clean Hydrogen In European Cities Project (CHIC).

Furthermore the toll roads around Oslo enable equally strong incentives for both BEV and FCEV. The City of Oslo may thus become one of the first conventional markets for introducing FCEV.

Electric Vehicles in the View of Customer Demand

The central challenges of our times include limiting greenhouse CO2 emissions, reducing our dependence on fossil energy sources, banning toxic air pollutants (especially from urban agglomerations) all while ensuring ongoing individual mobility. Electric mobility has significant potential in enabling us to live up to these challenges.

There is a wide choice of electric drives - electric only, electric range extender, plug-in hybrid or fuel cell - which will replace internal combustion engines for certain uses. Especially in urban agglomerations, where distances are short and the environmental restrictions strict, these concepts present compelling advantages.

In order to conquer a significant share of the market, electric vehicles must become much more affordable to greater numbers of consumers than they are be today - primarily because batteries are so expensive. The prereq-uisite for realising the potential environmental advantages of electric vehicles is the availability on a large scale of electric power from regenerative sources.

In view of their great potential, ADAC actively supports the launch of electric vehicles. As a consumer protection organisation, ADAC performs thorough vehicle tests to determine their everyday utility, safety, eco-friendliness and cost-effectiveness, to make the market for new vehicle concepts more transparent and to create a basis of com-parison between the new and conventional drives. In the interest of our members, ADAC also promotes an attrac-tive political framework - in terms of traffic law, taxation and beyond. As a service provider, ADAC will extend its established products and services to e-vehicles, for instance by providing competent specialist roadside assistance.

The presentation will focus on consumer expectations in terms of e-mobility based on the returns of an ADAC survey. We will also present new insights in terms of sustainability, safety and utility on the basis of the range of vehicles available on the market today. To acquire such insights, ADAC has conducted the first electric vehicle head-on crash test, a rear-end crash test in compliance with the stricter US testing requirements as well as post crash extrication (i.e. cutting) tests in cooperation with fire brigades. Extensive metrics collected in the ADAC EcoTest serve as a basis for evaluating the eco-friendliness of e-vehicles. On the basis of our findings, we will discuss recom-mendations for the automotive industry, the energy suppliers and the political decision-makers.

Approaches to Increase User Acceptance for Electric Mobility

Today, the general public is becoming more and more aware of issues relating to sustainability and the environ-ment in an era where there is an increasing amount of news about extreme weather events and smog in large cities. And last but not least, the activities of the NPE are ensuring that end users are showing an increased level of interest: Mobility of tomorrow must be more environmentally friendly, have less impact on the climate and use less resources, however, at the same time new technologies must still remain affordable.

Siemens has also set itself the goal to develop sustainable solutions, and for electric mobility it has a comprehen-sive portfolio - extending from drive components for automobiles and commercial vehicles up to holistic software solutions in the Smart Grid. Take London for instance, here Siemens is offering the higher-level IT system as well as specific services to integrate the charging infrastructure and manage it from a central location. Owners of electric vehicles can register via Internet and they then receive access to charging stations with a standard payment system, similar to what we know from car sharing programs. Naturally, the complete process can be handled using modern smartphones.

The focus is on two key topics in order to establish sustainable solutions for end users and to achieve a certain level of acceptance. The possibility of technically achieving an appropriate range and an acceptable purchase price.

The range of the vehicle itself is not the only area where action is required. Others include the comprehensive ex-pansion of the charging infrastructure, a sufficient number of charging points as well as the performance of these charging points to appropriately shorten the charging process. Aside from the financial aspect, there are other motivating factors that could be considered, such as using bus lanes or reserved parking areas.

Based on international examples such as Oslo or London, it can already be clearly identified that it is not just simply trusting in technology to reduce concerns regarding the range. The fact is, users are also expecting a level of com-fort and standardization that makes using electric vehicles just as intuitive as, for example, a smartphone. By the way, when it comes to smartphones, users have already gotten used to the frequent charging intervals. The times when a cell phone only had to be charged once a week, or even less frequently, are long gone.

Several cell phones even offer a new level of convenience: Inductive charging stations. The tedious task of taking a charging cable with you is no longer necessary. A similar development will take place for electric vehicles. With solutions, such as inductive charging, we have taken a large step forward regarding the intuitive and integrated use of electric vehicles. It is almost certain that at some stage electric vehicles will experience this “smartphone effect”. Once the infrastructure is available, we will no longer have to really be concerned about charging - and automo-biles will have integrated Apps that are exciting or just downright practical in everyday use.

Vita


HilmarvonLojewskiGerman Association of Cities

Hilmar von Lojewski was born in Vogelsberg, Hesse and grew up in Bad Schwartau, Schleswig Holstein. After having served for two years in the German Armed Forces, he studied development planning at Technical University Dortmund, Germany as well as Urban and Regional Plan-nung at the Middle East Technical University Ankara from 1982 to 1988. During that time he was able to closely examine on the spot the different aspects of the Arabian city in Syria, Egypt, Jemen as well as Morocco and he traveled extensively throughout India. For his diploma thesis he car-ried out a success control and impact analysis on development planning based on the example of Beni Mellal, Morocco.

From 1988 to 1989 he worked as a free lance planner in the office for urban planning and urban research of the Professors Zlonicky and Wachten in Dortmund, Germany, where he took his Second State ex-amination in urban planning in 1991. Then he worked for the German Technical Cooperation (GTZ) for a Municipal Development Programme in Kathmandu, India from 1992 to 1994. Subsequently he was head of the department Legal Affairs-Procedures-Contracts at the office for urban studies in Dresden, Germany until 2000.

From 2000 to 2012 Mr. v. Lojewski worked at the Berlin Senate Depart-ment for Urban Development. Until 2007 he worked for the department urban planning and projects. Since 2010 he is responsible for the depart-ment Ministerial Affairs of Building. From 2007 to 2010 Mr. V. Lojewski was again responsible for the German development cooperation. In Syria he headed the programme for sustainable urban development which ad-dressed amongst others also the urban renewal in Aleppo and Damascus.

Since 1 July 2012 Mr. v. Lojewski has been elected councillor for urban development, building, housind, and transport for the City Association of North Rhine-Westphalia and the German Association of Cities. The German Association of Cities is the national local-authority association of cities which are not belonging to a county as well as of most cities and towns within counties. It brings together about 3,400 cities and commu-nities with more than 51 million inhabitants zusammengeschlossen.

Since 1996 Mr. v. Lojewski has been examining urban planning student trainees. He is increasingly interested in city history. He is a passionate sailor in the waters of Berlin and its surroundings. He is a father of four children.

Electric Mobility Moves German Cities

The “Deutsche Städtetag (DST)” - the German Association of Cities and Towns - is the “voice of the cities” and the umbrella organisation for the local authorities of independent cities and most district cities. In the DST approxi-mately 4,300 cities, towns, and communities with more than 51 million inhabitants have formed an association. The DST is represented in both the National Platform for Electric Mobility and the Expert Group Alliance for Sustainable Procurement. For very good reasons: It is a special challenge for the traffic in our cities to grant sustain-able, quiet, and low emission mobility, and to be affordable for all. The widespread deployment of electric vehicles offers a suitable solution for many of these challenges. With tram, underground, and commuter railways today already more than half of the transport services are provided by electric vehicles. With this, public transport is available as an environment-friendly alternative, organized by the cities and communities. In connection with the use of renewable energies, the mobility of the future can thus be organised to a large extent climate neutral.

Electric mobility should not only to be thought of as a replacement for motorised private transport. The young and modern electric bicycle will inspire more people for healthy and environment-friendly cycling, extend their range of action, and facilitate overcoming of height differences. Many cities actively support pioneering the introduc-tion of modern mobility concepts such as car sharing, reconsider urban logistics, or prepare by planning for the necessary charging infrastructure in the transport area. Thus, electric mobility is not only an opportunity but also a special challenge for urban development and transport planning. It is necessary to avoid mobility by integrated urban development, to offer environment-friendly and accessible solutions and to support car free home and office in the cities.

Currently electric vehicles are still more expensive than vehicles with combustion engines. Therefore it is indispen-sable during the market launch to generate benefits that stipulate private users to obtain innovative electric vehi-cles. For this the discussed and partially already implemented tax reliefs on the federal level are a good approach. Creativity from the cities is also still needed with regard to benefits for the communal daily lives. For instance exemptions from closures due to environmental reasons need to be discussed or the privileged halt of electric car sharing vehicles at charging devices in public spaces. However, a prerequisite for facilitating administrative regula-tions would be the marking of e-vehicles. Benefits that cannot be directly connected with the electric drive, like the use of bus lanes or privileges in stationary traffic, are not to be granted.

Electric vehicles with their limited range and their environmental performance are best suited for deployment in the vehicle fleet of the city or in municipal enterprises. Until market penetration, however, the cities should be ena-bled with tools and targeted support to render subsidies for the conversion of their vehicle fleet to electric mobility. The public sector is better suited than any other to present electric vehicles on the spot to a wider public and to promote with this the wider dissemination of the technology.

Vehicles need an infrastructure. During the past months the deficits in the financing of infrastructure in Germany became self-evident. For maintenance there is a national deficit of about 7.2 billion Euro annually. For future-oriented traffic and the business location Germany is therefore indispensable as a prompt solution for the financing of infrastructure. For this the State must not begin solely with federal highways and autobahns, but has to focus on the overall transport network with all infrastructure facilities, so that the infrastructure in the cities will be prevented from being used until it wears out.
