Model regions for electromobility in Germany
Model regions of electromobility in Germany is a funding program of the Federal Ministry of Transport, Building and Urban Development (BMVBS) with which electromobility is financially supported in eight German metropolitan regions . The funding comes from the economic stimulus package II . Overall coordination is with the National Organization for Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology (NOW). By the end of 2011, the use of around 2,800 electric vehicles and the construction of around 2,500 charging points are planned. The electricity required is to be covered by renewable energy .
Model regions
Berlin-Potsdam
In the model region Berlin - Potsdam , the integration of electromobility into public transport , tourism as well as housing services and city logistics is being tested. Electromobility as part of public transport is being pursued with the BeMobility - BerlinelektroMobil project. Electromobility in residential areas is being investigated in the WohnmobilE project , in which three housing construction companies set up car sharing with electric cars for residents. In the long term, integrated urban district and traffic planning should be implemented. The E-City-Logistik project is dedicated to both the delivery of the retail trade and the distribution in inner-city mail and parcel transport ( CEP services ). Newly developed electric transporters and converted trucks are used here. The AUE-Mobility project deals with acoustic environmental aspects of electromobility.
The regional project control center is located at the TSB Innovationsagentur Berlin GmbH - FAV Research and Application Network Transport System Technology Berlin , a subsidiary of the TSB Technologiestiftung Berlin . The funding amount is 10 million euros. The term is expected to end in July 2011 .
Bremen-Oldenburg
In the north-west metropolitan region around Bremen and Oldenburg (Oldb.), Electromobility is primarily being studied by the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Technology and Applied Materials Research (IFAM) and the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI). The common goal is to connect to existing mobility offers for low-emission inner-city and commuter traffic. The journeys and charging processes are electronically recorded, collected in a database and user behavior is evaluated. To this end, a Personal Mobility Center is being created to coordinate the sustainable introduction of electric mobility from electric bicycles to four-seater.
The consortium leadership lies with the Personal Mobility Center . The funding amount is 10 million euros. The term is expected to end at the end of 2011.
Hamburg
The focus of the Hamburg model region is on the use of regenerative energies, non-discriminatory access to the charging infrastructure and the integration of the charging stations into the urban environment. Here come u. a. Electric vehicles from the brands Nissan , Renault and Smart are used. The Hamburger Hochbahn also sets a diesel hybrid buses. Energy storage devices for rail vehicles are also to be tested.
The regional project control center is part of the hySOLUTIONS company .
Munich
In Munich , three hybrid buses with different hybrid technologies are being analyzed in comparison. Buses from the manufacturers Mercedes-Benz , MAN and Solaris are in use. A fast charging system is being developed in the Drive eCharged joint project . Mini E are tested as electric cars . The joint project EFlott carries out an online analysis of usage behavior and charging conditions with electric fleet vehicles from the Audi brand .
The regional project control center is located at Stadtwerke München . The funding amount is 10 million euros. The term is expected to end in mid-2011.
Rhine-Main
In the Rhine-Main model region , electromobility is being tested in public transport in the form of electric and hybrid buses. In Darmstadt and Offenbach , some of the buses are used in regular service. A modern hybrid rail vehicle is being tested by the Westfrankenbahn . In the follow- up mobility sub-project , car sharing stations for electric cars are being set up at the region's major train stations . Several electric delivery vehicles from UPS are also part of the test fleet.
The regional project control center is located at the Offenbach municipal utility.
Rhine-Ruhr
Numerous sub-projects are active in the Rhine-Ruhr model region . As part of the colognE-mobil project , electric vehicles from Ford are in operation, including small vans . The project E-mobil NRW several regional are public utilities involved, the electric cars, scooters and -nutzfahrzeuge test in conjunction with the charging infrastructure. In the transport association Rhein-Ruhr hybrid buses from different manufacturers in public transport operated. The main interest lies in the investigation of noise and pollutant emissions as well as fuel consumption. In Krefeld , Neuss and Mönchengladbach , garbage trucks with hybrid drives are to be demonstrated in everyday life. In the Aachen area, the E-Aix project poses questions of power supply, market preparation, communication and knowledge transfer when introducing electric road vehicles. The Rapids project focuses on commuter traffic in and between the Ruhr area cities of Dortmund , Essen and Mülheim an der Ruhr , with new business models being developed.
The regional project control center is located at EnergieAgentur.NRW . The funding amount is 10 million euros. The term is expected to end in July 2011.
Saxony (Dresden-Leipzig)
The model region is essentially limited to the state capital Dresden and Leipzig . The focus is on local public transport . The SaxHybrid project is testing fast-charging, serial hybrid buses in partially electric operation in both cities . The test takes place in real line use and includes the examination of passenger numbers, traffic obstructions and topography. The possible fuel saving is of particular interest. In the medium term, articulated buses are to be fully electric in city-center line operations. The SaxMobility project comprises the fleet management of electric vehicles in connection with charging technology. A development center for energy storage systems is being built in Zwickau .
The consortium leadership lies with the Saxon Energy Agency - SAENA GmbH . The funding amounts to 10 million euros.
Stuttgart
The Daimler AG tested in the Stuttgart area electric vans of the type Vito in everyday use. In the project Die E-mobile Stadt, the Stuttgarter Straßenbahnen AG is introducing articulated buses with diesel hybrid drive from the Citaro brand , which are being tested in large city operations. The buses are intended to make electric mobility known to the public. Several hundred electric scooters were handed over to private test users by the energy supply company EnBW . Medium-sized companies in the region develop electric drive retrofit kits for delivery vehicles . In the state capital Stuttgart , the existing bicycle rental system is being supplemented by pedelecs .
The consortium leadership lies with the Stuttgart Region Economic Development Corporation . The funding amount is 10 million euros. The term is expected to end in November 2011.
Further development
Due to their manageable fleet sizes, the model regions of electromobility will have a symbolic significance for the composition of the German vehicle fleet, at least in the foreseeable future. In many cases, the use of electric and hybrid vehicles, especially city buses, is based heavily on conventional public transport , within which electric mobility is already being practiced in a different form, such as trolleybuses , trams or suburban trains . The operation of electric vehicles in competition with conventional private cars with internal combustion engines , however, is still at the beginning of development. In view of the comparatively short ranges, long charging times and high acquisition costs of electric cars, as well as the dependency of the pollutant balance on electricity generation, it is still unclear what the most ecologically and economically promising application models are.
