Green eMotion
Green eMotion is a four-year EU project to promote electric mobility in Europe, which was officially launched on March 31, 2011 in Brussels.
Classification and goals
The project is funded with a total of € 24 million from the EU Commission . According to EU Transport Commissioner Siim Kallas , Green eMotion should link the ongoing regional and national initiatives on electromobility, use their results and compare the various technological approaches in order to promote the best possible solutions for the European market. The platform will enable the various actors to interact and promote new high-quality transport services as well as convenient payment systems for users of electric vehicles. The Commission wants to prepare the start of the mass market for electric vehicles in the EU. In selected demo regions, 43 project partners, including industrial and automotive companies, electricity suppliers, city administrations and universities as well as testing and research institutions, are investigating the conditions for this. Green eMotion is part of the Transport 2050 Roadmap, an EU strategy paper that aims to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in road transport by 60% by 2050.
The project
As part of the Green eMotion project, the project partners are researching which requirements must be met in order to achieve smooth, cross-border traffic with electric vehicles in road traffic. The initiative works primarily on the development of uniform processes, standards and IT solutions across Europe: These are intended to create the conditions for users of electric vehicles throughout Europe to have uncomplicated access to charging infrastructures and the associated services. In addition to connection technology and compatibility with the respective charging stations, the main focus of the work is also economic issues, such as the problem-free billing of charging processes with different electricity suppliers or network operators within the participating countries, even across borders.
The demo regions defined in the project had a total of more than 2,500 charging stations in practical operation at the end of 2011, thus enabling representative data collection. Green eMotion summarizes the experiences of the previous local approaches of individual demo regions in an overarching European model test in order to examine the framework conditions for cross-border electric mobility. In addition, Green eMotion is not only researching the possible uses of e-cars, but also the use of two-wheelers and buses, both electrically powered and hybrid vehicles .
The Green eMotion demo regions
The demo regions of the project examine different aspects of electric mobility in Europe. This includes, for example, studies of user behavior, but also the development of proposals for guidelines and decision-making bases for political mandate holders. In addition, organizational and technical details such as different vehicle types (purely electrically powered cars, buses and two-wheelers, but also hybrid vehicles) are taken into account. In addition, the demo regions are used for practical testing of very different aspects of electromobility, such as battery replacement, charging with direct current and integration into intelligent power grids .
The Green eMotion demo regions:
Copenhagen / Bornholm / Malmö
Research focus: battery replacement, cross-border traffic, up to 4,500 charging stations and up to 3,500 vehicles, research to improve battery life
Strasbourg
Research focus: plug-in hybrid vehicles, 100 charging stations, cross-border connections with Karlsruhe / Stuttgart
Karlsruhe / Stuttgart
Research focus: Smart grid properties, optimized bidirectional charging; cross-border connections with Strasbourg
Berlin
Research focus: Largest integrated e-mobility project worldwide to research business models and customer behavior, 3,600 charging stations
Ireland (Dublin, Cork)
Research focus: DC charging stations, charging current billing with free choice of electricity supplier, around 2,000 vehicles and 3,500 charging stations
Madrid / Ataun
Research focus: Smart grid integration and integration of renewable energy sources for power generation ( integration of renewable energy sources , RES)
Barcelona / Málaga
Research focus: Citizen service office for electromobility, e-bikes
Special features: integration into a Smart City concept, Building-to-Grid (B2G), buildings are in smart grids supported by building control and information technology its untapped degrees of freedom (shiftable loads, load shedding, partial load operation, etc.) use to network operation to optimize DC charging stations.
Italy (Rome, Pisa)
Research focus: system approach with which user interfaces and billing systems are developed, 400 charging stations.
