Presentation Notes
Urban transport is one of the main contributors to CO2 emissions not only in developed countries but also in many developing countries. To address the global change of climate change, international cooperation to make urban transport more sustainable is essential. This session presents solutions implemented in different cities worldwide. Each speaker will introduce challenges those solutions address, experiences and lessons learnt from implementations and estimated reduction of CO2 emissions after implementation as well as other social benefits. This session also provides an overview of the global trends in R&D and policies in reduction of CO2 emissions from the transport sector.

Case study for implementing sustainable urban mobility: Göteborg. Göteborg is the second largest city in Sweden. There are more than 900,000 inhabitants in the Göteborg Region and there are 500,000 inhabitants in Göteborg. 50% of Scandinavia's industrial capacity is within a 300 kilometers radius. Göteborg has the largest port in Scandinavia. Göteborg was in the 1970s the largest shipbuilding site in Scandinavia, an industry that now is gone and has transferred into an advanced engineering knowledge hub in a modern harbor area to work and live. A city with a World class Traffic safety-work and a municipal administration with focus on Environmental awareness, Triple Helix cooperation between the City, the Academia, with Business, and in International collaboration. Yet - the major infrastructure investments were made in the 1960:s with incremental improvements since then, like this bridge. Conguestion problems and need for new infrastructure.

Shidajida Station, 285m, Asia’s longest BRT station.
BRT issues • Slow down city traffic • Occupy much space for stations and
the dedicated roadways • Not easy to access stations • Less lines and stations than before • In peak hours – too many buses but
still not enough to meet demand

Presentation Notes
Volvo has a long tradition in working together with cities in the development of new products tailored for the Bus Rapid Transit around the globe. Already in the early 90ies the bi-articulated bus was developed to meet the growing vehicle capacity demands in Curitiba - a new step in the urban transport (Volvo 100% of all Articulated buses) In the middle of the 90ies Volvo presented to Bogota a set up of a BRT concept which lead to the implementation of the Transmilenio. A project based on a corridor of 42 km with double lanes which was concluded in 18 months. Today 1.5 million passenger use the system daily. (Volvo 75% of the fleet - articulated buses and 100% of Bi-articulated buses) The first entry into Mexico was Leon, a city with slightly more than one million inhabitants, inaugurated in 2003 (Volvo 100% of fleet) The largest transformation of an urban bus system took place end of last year in Santiago de Chile as the first step of their new BRT system was inaugurated. Volvo developed a new full low floor concept for this project and received the full order which was the largest order for Volvo ever (Volvo 100%) Mexico City entered into the BRT society last summer through a first project in the heart of the city. Apart from the articulated buses Volvo also supplied the systems for Traffic Control and Passenger Information. (Volvo 2/3rd of the deliveries) Finally in our home town of Gothenburg a number of projects have been developed and the latest is the creation of a new Bi- Articulated full low floor bus for the local BRT corridor - the “Trunkline” (Volvo 100%)

Alternative fuels • For long distance transport, crude oil derived diesel
fuel with increasing renewable and synthetic components will remain the dominant fuel
– Liquid methane and DME/Methanol are prioritized complements
• For regional transport, compressed and liquefied methane fuel will grow due to price and security of supply
– Biogas will grow slowly but total volume is limited
• Short distance transport will lead the shift to electricity, especially in urban areas
– City buses with plug-in or full electric solutions will be followed by urban delivery and municipality utility trucks
– Compressed methane, later followed by DME, will also be important due to low noise and PM emissions
New energy buses in Shanghai • Super Capacitor buses • Battery buses • Hybrid buses • Battery Swapping stations and
remote battery management • DME (Di-Methyl-Ether) buses in operation in Shanghai today - and more will come due to the incentive programs by the Chinese Government

Further innovation to increase efficiency focusing on the vehicle to increase productivity Volvo buses is involved in a project partly financed by the Eurropean 7th framework program. The project name is ”The European Bus System of the Future” (EBSF) and Volvo Buses is developing an articulated bus with high passenger capacity. The bus have the driver in the center at the very front for better use of the interior space and wide doors to enhace rapid bording. With this special design with the driver in the middel on top of the front axel and fexible sating the bus can carry 25 % more pasengers than a convetional articulated bus. The bus have also a new modern design and uses wide doors in the front part to improve acessability.

Presentation Notes
There is a lot of ongoing clean vehicle research that brings implemetation of clean vehicles in operation, from hybrid refuse trucks, light duty urban city logistics vehicles and medium-heavy duty distribution vehicles using the very promising fuel Bio-Di-Methyl-Ether (BIO-DME) that currently is in operation in a number of haulage firms in the region. A DME vehicle shows 95% CO2 reduction and combustion produces very low emissions of particles and nitrogen oxides. There is also ongoing Collaborative Urban Transport solutions to make urban logistics more efficient together with efficient models for urban logistics operations and planning. Fleet & Transport management systems and services (Dynafleet) Göteborg is also a logistics hub with the largest port in Scandinavia. Research from the Security Arena has implemented innovative”Fast-Track” port logistics solutions to make traffic through the city to the port more efficient.

Refuse truck driver supported by robot
“Imagine a robot that quietly and discreetly enters your neighborhood, collects your refuse bin and empties it into the refuse truck. It is done without waking the sleeping families and without heavy lifting for the refuse truck’s driver. This is the purpose of ROAR, a joint project with the aim to develop tomorrow's smart transport solutions”
