Almost three quarters of Germans live in urban areas. Ascending trend. Citizens want reliable transport systems, affordable housing and a functioning International Conference and Exhibition for Mobility 4.0 public supply of electricity, gas, broadband and water for their city of the future. electric - conneceted - autonomous The congestion of the road network and the inadequate maintenance of the transport infrastructure, criticized by the business community, repea- tedly lead to bottlenecks and high congestion in inner cities and access routes. The increase in commuting and trucking increased the traffic load IN PARALLEL in urban areas and thus also noise and exhaust emissions. Every smart Nov. 13 - 15, 2019, Seoul Coex, Korea city therefore needs a good deal of smart logistics. Modern city concepts TO can not do without intelligent solutions for the movement of goods. At a time when the agglomeration is growing, traffic is increasing and the mobile internet is connecting all areas of life, urban delivery processes also need new, creative approaches. The challenges can not be met by an efficient infrastructure alone - this is just the necessary prerequisite. Rather, city-compatible, resource and infrastructure-friendly logistics concepts are required to ensure mobility and economic dynamism. One of the future fields for delivery traffic lies in the field of autonomous logistics systems. Autonomous delivery vehic- les, also in the form of drones, should in the future relieve the inner-city delivery traffic. Another area is the delivery traffic of the so-called „last mile“ in the quarter. This can be redefined via inner-city micro-logistics centers or decentralized distribution warehouses. This requires corres- ponding micro-areas at suitable locations in the neighborhoods. In order to achieve a more far-reaching effect, which also has climate- relevant consequences, the use of small electric vehicles and cargo bicy- cles for end customer delivery makes sense, for example. Further positive effects are expected from the merger of traders in the district or in indus- trial areas. Collective orders, the sharing of mobility offers or distribution logistics in the immediate vicinity offer opportunities to reduce traffic and thus achieve related positive effects.

    Electrifying Medium-Duty Vehicles in Minnesota Capstone Paper In Partial Fulfillment of the Master's Degree Requirements The Hubert H. Humphrey School of Public Affairs The University of Minnesota Christov Churchward, Jacob Herbers, Ben Picone, Drew Turro Client: Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Capstone Instructor: Fred Rose Date of Oral Presentation: 5/6/2019 Approval Date of Final Paper: 1 Executive Summary State of the Market Medium-duty electric vehicles (MDEVs) are still in the early stages of adoption across the U.S. Cost- parity on the initial purchase price of these vehicles relative to their conventional counterparts is not expected until the mid-2020s. A lack of organizational experience operating and maintaining EVs and a dearth of charging infrastructure present challenges to the early deployment of all types of EVs. Furthermore, most test cases for MDEVs are in California, whose warmer climate makes it difficult to draw accurate operational comparisons to Minnesota. Despite this, manufacturers are entering the market and providing a greater variety of vehicle choices. The number of class three through six (5-13 tons) electric vehicles on the market increased by a factor of six from 2013 to 2018, going from four to 24. Utilities, recognizing customer demand for EVs, are developing specialized programs and electricity rates for their customers to keep the costs of EV charging low. Furthermore, MDEVs operate with half the fuel cost per mile versus a comparable diesel vehicle. For fleet owners able and willing to take on the

    Event Information Tickets Visitors Guide Charity Sponsors News & Media Gallery BEACH CARS STORM THE 2014 AMELIA CONCOURS d'ELEGANCE "For an event like 'The Amelia' a class of beach cars is appropriate and ideal," said Warner. "After all, when you take a break from the concours field and sit on the veranda at the Ritz-Carlton with a cool drink in front of you, you stare at the ocean and the beach. I just wish we could find a way to make the beach part of the concours field just this once." During the La Dolce Vita epoch, the ultimate European playboy's car was neither a Maserati nor a Ferrari. It arrived on sun splashed Mediterranean beaches long before Lamborghini cars existed. The playboy's choice for his prowls along the Med during those golden days was the "Jolly" beach car, usually based on Fiat's tiny 600. Photo courtesy of Hyman Ltd. Modified by Ghia, the mild mannered little Fiat 600 was the perfect platform for the Jolly's wicker seats and the fringed canvas top. As open as a speedboat, the Jollys were little land locked yacht tenders of the rich and, usually, famous. Fiat chairman Gianni Angelli drove one. Even the esteemed styling house of Pinin Farina created the Eden Rock beach car from the humble platform of Fiat's almost comical, forward-control Multipla people mover. "There was an entire industry built around creating custom bodies for the Fiat 600," said Bill Warner, Founder and Chairman of the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance, "The Jollys are the whimsical ones we remember.
