Early EV Experiences
Early EV Experiences
• Positive
– All experiences show usability of EV for specific niches
– Positive user feedback
– New technologies are accepted
– Better energy efficiency compared to ICE
• Neutral
– EV’s demand special care of users
• Negative
– Availability and after sales
– Problems and break-downs
– High costs
– Product improvements (reliability, performance)
– Subsidies on vehicles were unsuccessful
Vision
• Maintain multi-track approach, including all alternatives
• Focus on electric vehicles (EVs) when possible
• Stimulate innovations and economic spin-off
• Facilitate market development
• Prefer OEM over retrofit
• Run pilots in protected environments
• Target a broad spectrum, from small scooters to heavy trucks
• Without pushing the market in one direction
• Without changing policy too often
• Remain flexible and acknowledge future uncertainties
Sustainability Program 2011-2014
Goal: Rotterdam as a clean, green, healthy and economically strong city.
Objectives for Electric Mobility in the Sustainability Program:
• Reduce CO2 emissions as leading city
• Improve energy efficiency
• Promote sustainable mobility and transport
• Promote clean air and reduce noise hindrance
• Enlarge sustainable investments and promote sustainable products and services
Well-to-Wheel efficiency
Internal combustion
engine
~ 15%
Electric engine with
fossil electricity
~ 25%
Electric engine with
green electricity
~ 65%
• Locally zero-emission
• Less CO2 emissions in the total energy chain
• Less noise hindrance
• Maintain good accessibility

Monitoring & Communication
Examples in Rotterdam
1. Clean Vehicle Fleet
2. Charging Infrastructure
3. EV Experience Center
4. Clean City Logistics
Clean Vehicle Fleet
Peugeot electric utility vehicle Volvo hybrid garbage truck Spijkstaal electric garbage truck
Clean Vehicle Fleet
• Flexi-fuel vehicles and Euro V / EEV in past tenders
• 75% of vehicle fleet was clean by 2009
• Hybrid passenger cars in recent tender
• Hybrid garbage trucks in various pilots
• Electric vehicles still in pilot phase, no large tenders yet
• 25% of vehicle fleet hybrid or electric by 2014
Clean Vehicle Fleet - Procurement
• Fleet lifetime and budgets influence clean procurement options
• Public tender legislation is limiting speed of cleaning vehicle fleets
• Public tender legislation is limiting pilot project possibilities
• Risk of procurement becoming more legally driven instead of policy and practice driven (avoiding risks instead of taking opportunities)
• Should we be ‘the best boy in the class’?
Procurement in DC-TEC
DC-TEC results
• 2009: start of project and LoI
• 2010: RFI
• End of 2010: RFI results
• Early 2011: end of project, with no vehicles procured
• Different wishes/demands from different participants (public vs private participants)
• Legal issues and delays (foundation, public procurement legislation)
• Decline of urgency (joint market pull, demand driven)
• Withdrawal of important stakeholder (board member and large buyer)
Charging Infrastructure
• Private space
• Parking garages
• Public space
• Fast-charging for niche-markets
EV Experience Center (EVC)
• Test-drive and information center for fleet owners and visitors
• Located in the brand-new central railway station
• Facilitates procurement for large fleets and individuals
• Target: reach out to the 1000 largest fleet owners in NL
• Independent, no direct sales, co-financed by ≈30 partners
Clean City Logistics
• Binnenstadservice
• Environmental Zone
• Night Time Delivery
• ECOSTARS
• FR-EVUE
• Together with public and private partners in the city
Reduction: 150 trips per week
Environmental Zone for trucks > 3.5t
Night Time Delivery
In Rotterdam:
Noise constraints (23:00 – 7:00 < 60 dB)
Distribution time frame constraints (e.g. 7:00 – 17:00)
Nighttime Distribution
17% CO2 reduction because of fuel savings
Less vehicles needed for the same deliveries due to:
1. Use of larger trucks
2. Operation without time frame constraints
Agreement: all supermarkets joined
Final Procurement Notes
• Fleet lifetime and budgets influence clean procurement options
• Public tender legislation is limiting speed of cleaning vehicle fleets (e.g. procurement contracts fixed for 4 years through tenders)
• Public tender legislation is limiting pilot project possibilities (different vehicles instead of 1 manufacturer per lot)
• Risk of procurement becoming more legally driven instead of policy and practice driven (risk averse instead of taking opportunities)
• Should we be ‘the best boy in the class’?
• Both top-down and bottom-up support are needed
