Written Evidence Submitted by Servant Transport Consultants 2. Personal
REF0048 Written evidence submitted by Servant Transport Consultants 1. Objective of this memorandum of Evidence. This memorandum of evidence sets out to show the relationship between: The impact on public transport of the Covid-19 pandemic “social distancing” requirements, and The need for the decarbonisation of transport to meet net zero carbon emissions targets by 2050 o and An innovative technological evolution that is already taking place in public transport vehicles to provide increased “personal space” that would serve the objectives of both of these forces for change and has already been proved to be commercially viable for a public transport operator. 2. Personal background. After university and working in the construction industry from 1977 I worked for the Chief Civil Engineer, Western Region, British Railways. In 1984 I changed engineering discipline and lead a rail vehicle design research and development project with D Wickham & Co where the main problem we were addressing was suspension design for light weight rail vehicles. Since 1991 I have been in private practice as an independent Transport Consultant, mainly in the railway industry providing track design for freight terminals, contributions to rail vehicle design, and the assessment of “over-line clearances”, “loading gauge” challenges faced primarily by freight operators wishing to move 9’-6” ISO maritime containers to and from Britain’s deep sea ports and Eurotunnel. This work, based on digital survey data supplied to me by Railtrack, was (eventually!) accepted and acted upon, as all of our deep sea ports enjoy today. This work of assessment of the true clearances available on Britain’s railway enabled me to prepare a presentation (Power-Point) for the All Party Parliamentary Rail Group (11th June 2007) on the feasibility of operating double deck passenger trains on key routes of our railway network. -

Volvo Receives Order for Eight Electric Buses to Harrogate in the UK
Press information Volvo receives order for eight electric buses to Harrogate in the UK Volvo Buses has received an order for eight electric buses, Volvo 7900 Electric, to Harrogate in the UK. The buyer is Transdev Blazefield. Traffic start is planned for 2018. The Harrogate Bus Company, owned by Transdev Blazefield, buys eight electric buses from Volvo. The vehicles will operate in Harrogate, 90 km northeast of Manchester. The project was unveiled at an event on February 3 where Volvo’s fully electric bus from Gothenburg was demonstrated. When the vehicles enter service in 2018, the project will be the first of its kind in the UK introducing full electric vehicles using ‘opportunity charging’ via the common interface OppCharge, whereby the charging stations can also be used by electrified buses from other vehicle manufacturers. OppCharge is now starting to be used as a common interface in more than 12 countries. Opportunity charging takes place via a specialist overhead mast, which connects to the bus via a pantograph. Charging is fully automated and takes between three and six minutes to complete. Volvo’s electric bus has 80 percent lower energy consumption than the corresponding diesel bus. “It is extremely gratifying that Volvo’s first full electric buses will enter into service in the UK next year. The UK is one of our biggest markets for our electromobility program and we are excited about working together with Transdev Blazefield to make Harrogate a UK leader in clean, green public transport”, said Håkan Agnevall, President Volvo -

Nyheden var umiddelbar lidt overraskende, for Abildskou har profileret sig som sin egen herre med egne busser på egne ruter mellem Jylland og Sjælland. Og så var overra - skelsen heller ikke større. For den aarhusianske busoperatør har også profileret sig ved at være fremsynet - og gribe de muligheder for at køre ind i fremtiden, der er dukket op langs vejen. Det gælder eksempelvis billetbooking og salg via nettet. Samarbejdet mellem Abildskou og FlixBus vil vi her på redaktionen tillade os at tage som et eksempel på, at fremti - den formes i dag - og at det gælder om at være opmærksom på, hvad der sker i andre dele af ens verden og verde - ner, der ligger op til - og hvis der så kommer noget brugbart flyvende et andet sted fra, så gribe ud efter det, vurdere det ud fra ens viden, erfaring og mod. -
