Transport

Promoting energye ciency in transportTransport plays an essential role in the social andeconomic li e o every European. It also accountsor about 20% o Europes primary energyconsumption.

About 98% o the energy used by the transportsector comes rom ossil uels 1, which makes it a

major source o greenhouse gas emissions and airpollution. This state o a airs also contributes to

the European Unions (EU) dependency on energyimports.

While e cient and reliable transport is vitalto Europes competitiveness and quality o li e,

increasing demand has generated signi cantnegative impacts on the economy and environment.In addition, transport is the astest growing sector

in terms o energy use: orecasts estimate anincrease in demand o 50% or reight transport

and 35% or passenger transport by 2020. 2 The EU isdetermined to do something about this situation.

By 2020, the EU is committed to achieving at leasta 20% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions across

the entire economy, compared to 1990 levels. It alsoaims to reduce general energy consumption by 20%compared to projections and increase the marketshare o renewables to 20%.

Transport has its part to play in meeting these goals.

According to the European Commissions ActionPlan or Energy E ciency, the transport sectorhas the potential to cut its energy use by about

26%. To achieve this, Europe cannot simply rely ondeveloping green technologies and improvementsin in rastructure. Shi ting to greener modes otransport and so t measures such as transport

demand management schemes, awareness-raising,and education and training can play a signi cantrole, as underlined in the Commissions Green Paperor Urban Transport 3.

Europes mobility culture and travel habits have tochange and embrace more sustainable transportchoices. Making people aware o the environmental

and social impacts o unsustainable travel choicesand educating consumers in order to create a largermarket or tried and tested energy-e cient vehiclesis the key to success or any sustainable mobility

policy.

STEER, Intelligent Energy Europes mobility action,addresses energy aspects o transport.

STEERs main objective is to make transport energyuse more sustainable by stimulating demand oralternative uels and clean and energy-e cientvehicles. It also aims to promote the use o the least-

polluting transport modes, a more rational use ocars and integrated urban development policies thatsupport sustainable transport.

Since 2004, STEER has co- unded 34 mobility

projects, which are delivering tangible results. Morethan 100 cities have received help to promote modal

shi t towards zero-emission transport. Analysis and

assessment o barriers that prevent people romleaving their cars at home, urban planning, public

events and campaigns have all been harnessed topromote a new culture o sa e walking and cycling.

Private and public companies, industrial clusters andschools all over Europe have reduced their impact on

urban congestion and their emissions by implementingmobility plans, including measures to promote a shi trom car use to more sustainable transport modes oreveryday home-workplace journeys.

About 200 companies have been encouraged tooptimise their vehicle feets and operations. Energyconsumption has been reduced 515% thanks

to measures implemented under STEER. This hasincreased the companies competitiveness both in

terms o reducing costs and through the cultivationo a greener image.

Energy-e cient driving (eco-driving) has reachedmore than 2.5 million motorists in Europe thanks to

STEER projects. And, people o all ages have been madeaware o the value o good-quality public transport,car sharing and bike sharing as alternatives or theirdaily trips via tailored in ormation campaigns and

direct marketing initiatives supported by STEER.

High-quality training material has been developedand disseminated to energy and transportpro essionals, providing them with tools to acesustainable mobility challenges at local and regional

level.

Finally, a key element o all STEER projects is their abilityto orge collaboration between di erent stakeholdersincluding local authorities, energy agencies, mobility

bodies, businesses, public transport operators, NGOsand, o course, private citizens.

Get inspired by the STEER projects; by workingtogether we can develop and promote energy-

e cient mobility solutions or Europe!

Europes mobility culture and travelhabits have to change and embrace more

sustainable transport choices.

AstuteDuration: 2/20061/2009

ObjectivesAstutes aim was to overcome organisational barriers that prevent greater use o walking and cycling inEuropes towns and cities.

The project team worked with the public and private sectors to devise mobility management techniques,which included travel awareness campaigns and workplace travel plans. The work was carried out in sixEuropean cities: Dublin (IE), Granada (ES), Siracusa (IT), Budapest (HU), Graz (AT), and London (UK).

Astute drew up a list o barriers that prevent people rom switching to sustainable modes o transport.It also analysed a range o best practices that have been designed to overcome such barriers and so getmore people walking and cycling in Europes urban centres.

Results> Astute produced a tool kit or local authorities that will help them implement concrete

measures to increase walking and cycling. The tool kit was developed as a DVD, available in10 languages.

> The project can point to a 10% increase in levels o walking and cycling across partnercities.

> One hundred businesses across partner cities will harness work-based travel plans to urther

improve rates o walking and cycling.> Astute improved coordination between organisations that are responsible or walking and

cycling at regional and local level.> The project increased public acceptability o walking and cycling.

Short-term Actions to ReorganiseTransport o GoodsSTARTDuration: 2/20061/2009

ObjectivesEvery day, cities around Europe need replenishing with a plethora o goods, which are usually broughtto shops and o ces by the van and lorry load. The START project aimed to develop a set o measuresthat could be deployed to make the transportation o goods more energy e cient and reduce outputso harm ul emissions.

START tested di erent measures in ve project cities: Bristol in the United Kingdom; Gothenburg,Sweden; Ljubljana, Slovenia; Ravenna in Italy; and Riga, the capital o Latvia. Actions included the useo access restrictions and the creation o reight consolidation centres, which are designed to reduce thenumber o journeys into town and cities.

Results> Local reight networks have been established in the partner cities thanks to close

collaboration between municipal authorities, transport companies and local businesses.> The project has developed regulations or both new and expanded restricted areas in its

partner cities. In addition, it has implemented a programme o incentives designed toreduce reight tra c.

Concrete results include:

> Implementation o a consolidation centre in the Lindholmen area o Gothenburg, leading

to a 51% reduction in CO 2 emissions.> Development o the Bristol consolidation scheme, now serving 72 retailers, which hasresulted in a 78% reduction in vehicle movements among the participating companies.

> Providing support, technical guidance and training tools to our feets in Bristol: more than40 drivers have been trained in eco-driving, resulting in 813% uel e ciency savings.

> Through an articulated package o incentives, the number o CNG vehicles in Ravenna hasincreased by 3 925.

> Improvement o urban reight distribution through consolidation o deliveries. The pilotproject in Ravenna reduced the number o trips by 4%.

> START dissemination actions reached around 150 cities and 4 000 organisations/companies.1 400 participants took part in a range o public events.

International Cluster or MobilityManagement Developmentand Research Dissemination

MOVEDuration: 1/200612/2008

ObjectivesThe project brought together seven energy agencies that wanted to become more involved in developingsustainable transport policies and initiatives. MOVE ran model projects in every partner region in a bidto produce tools, methods and standards that could help increase the use o less energy intensive modeso transport.

The aim was to develop good examples and success stories to encourage more organisations to getinvolved in mobility issues while developing green transport solutions that can reduce greenhouse gasemissions. Work here included setting up virtual mobility agencies, designing mobility managementschemes or businesses and awareness raising in schools.

Results> A website was created to act as a Mobility Management Network Cluster: it was used to

disseminate best practice and exchange in ormation between project partners.> Indicators were produced to evaluate projects that were designed to promote mobility and

improve transport sustainability.> Mobility agencies were developed that will act as in ormation and promotional centres.

They will carry out projects or local authorities, businesses and other stakeholders.

> The best practice examples should act as an inspiration to and provide templates or newmobility management schemes in the participating regions.

Sustainable tourism and recreationas an opportunity to promotealternative mobility

StreamDuration: 10/20061/2009

ObjectivesLeisure journeys generate more tra c than work or the school run. However, mobility management orthe tourism and recreation sector is a relatively new concept. Streams objective was to change all thatby running sustainable transport demonstration projects in seven countries: Belgium, Bulgaria, Italy,Lithuania, Austria, Poland and Portugal.

The project aimed to promote sustainable mobility or journeys to, and stays in, tourist areas, and ndways to use recreation to promote greener mobility solutions in everyday li e. Stream tested a rangeo mobility initiatives including intermodal travel solutions that encouraged people to use bikes incombination with public transport.

Results> Awareness-raising and promoting responsibility among key decision-makers such as tourism

development agencies, local government bodies, recreational site mangers and holidaycompanies.

> Stream tested a variety o so t and inexpensive measure designed to change peoplesbehaviour in terms o the transport they use on trips and holidays.

> Tangible energy savings were achieved at the project sites, along with modal shi t rom cars

to more sustainable transport.> Reductions in emissions, noise and congestion rom transport has increased environmental

quality at the Stream project sites.> Project in ormation has been produced which can be disseminated and used throughout

INternational Transport and EnergyReduction energy e ciency equalscost e ciency: engaging sectoral

organisations as championsand messengers to reduce energyuse in reight transportInteractionDuration: 10/20069/2008

ObjectivesInteraction aimed to reduce energy consumption, CO 2 emissions and costs throughout the reighttransport supply chain. The project was established by energy agencies and consultants in six countries:Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Germany, Greece, the Netherlands and Finland.

The project identi ed and carried out energy reducing measures with companies that work in the reightsupply chain, particularly shippers. Measures tested included reducing the requency o deliveries,standardising loading units, introducing cleaner vehicles and the use o eco-driving techniques. Theobjective o this work was to identi y best practices that can be used by the European reight transportsector.

Results> One hundred companies linked to 21 industrial associations participated in the project.> The potential exists to reduce CO 2 emissions by between 20 000 to 40 000 tonnes a year i

participating companies implement project measures. A potential reduction in energy useo between 613% has also been identi ed or each company, which in turn could cut theirlogistics costs by 35%. Savings o about 3 million could be generated rom within theInteraction project.

> Best practices that could lead to a reduction in energy use or reight transport have beenput on a database, which can be used by other organisations in the supply chain. Thedatabase will be updated on a regular basis even though the project has nished.

> The structure developed by Interaction should make it possible to maintain a strong sectoralapproach to energy saving.

> Project partners have identi ed a change in attitude in supply chain actors towards energye ciency issues, thanks to the cost reductions that can be achieved.

Attaining Energy E ciency Mobilityin an Ageing SocietyAeneasDuration: 8/20085/2011

ObjectivesThe proportion o the EUs population aged 50 and over is expected to increase rom 35% to 49%between 2005 and 2050. Walking and public transport used to be popular with older people, butcurrently there appears to be a strong and growing shi t toward greater car use. Alternatives to the carare o ten seen as unattractive, con using or impractical.

Aeneas will address these issues in a bid to encourage older people to use more energy-e cient modeso transport. The project aims to use in ormation and awareness campaigns and provide mobilitytraining and guided tours. These measures will target speci c groups such as car drivers who are nearingretirement age and public transport users aged 80+.

ResultsThe project has some time to run but aims to:

> Achieve an increase in the use o walking, cycling, public transport and car sharing amongolder people, while raising awareness about the challenges that an ageing society presentto urban mobility at local and European level.

> Organise ve training workshops or mobility and transport practitioners.> Develop a tool kit or passenger training.> Provide good practice examples and an implementation guide to encourage urther uptake

ObjectivesBiosires objective is to encourage greater use o alternative uels namely biodiesel and electricity ortransport feets, ships and specialist vehicles that are used in tourist areas in Austria, Croatia, France,Greece, Italy and Spain.

The project will run pilots schemes to test the use o alternative uels and clean technologies. It also aimsto increase the use o recycled cooking oil as a uel, and examine the potential or bio uel productionand use in Croatia, Italy and Poland. In addition, Biosire will provide in ormation about the advantageso alternative uels or tourism transport, while o ering training, consulting and support to feet owners,regions and municipalities.

ResultsThe projects targets include:

> Raising awareness among feet operators about the bene ts o alternative uels.> Establishing a sustainable production process and avourable legal and market conditions

or biodiesel.> Trans erring outputs and recommendations to other European tourist areas.> Involving other regions in workshops and training events.

Energy-e cient transportGreen mobility on the moveThis brochure presents 34 projects supported by the Intelligent Energy Europe programme (IEE).The projects are designed to provide Europe with greener transport choices by improving transportenergy e ciency. The objective is to encourage a shi t away rom energy-intensive modes by tacklingnon-technological barriers to the use o cleaner transport and alternative uels (both or people andthe movement o goods). The projects promote greener mobility solutions which help people andorganisations to rationalise the number o trips they make while encouraging intermodality, greater useo public transport, cycling and walking.

The IEE programme promotes sustainable transport solutions in order to create a more energy-intelligentEurope. This series o reports provides examples o projects unded by the programme in key areas.
