Action Plan Hamburg Supporting electric freight vehicles in Hamburg Tessa Taefi, Tobias Held, Jochen Kreutzfeldt Hamburg j July 2014 Report written within the framework of Activity 7.4 of the Interreg IVB project E-Mobility NSR Preface Dear Reader, Electric vehicles, charged with renewable energy, reduce global and local air pollutant emissions. Fos- tering electro mobility is important to the German federal and local authorities in adhering to the EU climate limit values and goals of the German ’Energiewende’. Urban commercial fleets offer a signifi- cant first market for electric vehicles, as highlighted in the electric mobility pilot regions. Especially in fleets performing road freight transport tasks, electric vehicles are technically suitable, as trips are often recurring and planned ahead. Thus, the scheduling of driving and charging electrical freight vehicles can be well planned. Also for companies who transport freight in urban areas, electric vehicles offer advantages: they decouple transport costs from any potential fuel price increase and can even result in new business opportunities through future regulatory privileges and the vehicle’s sustainable image. Despite these potentials, only about one out of thousand commercial vehicles had a fully electric power-train in Germany on January 1st 2014, according to KBA statistics. Hybrid vehicles play an even smaller role. What actions can Hamburgs government take to support electric vehicles especially in urban freight transport? Which of the measures are most effective to increase the share of freight EVs? Is a financial involvement or are personnel resources necessary, and can the measures be integrated into the overall traffic planning? This report will attempt to provide answers to these questions, by combining expert interviews and case studies. The results are quite interesting since recommended actions go beyond discussing financial subsidies or free parking for EVs. To name a few examples: support structures for electric cargo cycles and appoint- ing companies who offer emission free goods transport for municipal freight requests are beneficial and can be quickly integrated. When looked at over a longer period, electric trucks in city logistic structures are an option to be considered in pilot projects. The study was carried out on behalf of the EU Interreg IVB North Sea Region project ’North Sea Region Electric Mobility Network’. Colleagues in the other countries of the North Sea region shared their ideas with respective reports for metropolitan regions in their countries. We would especially like to thank Prof. Dr. Christine Lacher for the important inputs she provided in the elaboration of this document. We hope this report can serve as a source of inspiration and ideas to enhance the promising efforts the city of Hamburg has already undertaken to foster electric mobility and increase the numbers of electric freight vehicles in Hamburgs - as well as in other cities.

  • Inland Waterway Sailors and City-Port Transformation in Hamburg
    A View from Port to City: Inland Waterway Sailors and City-Port Transformation in Hamburg REIMER DOHRN Every morning, the names of about twelve cargo ships arriving in the port are announced by Hamburg’s two daily newspapers.1 The vessels listed in the papers include container ships, bulk carriers and cruise ships. Not listed are about 40 inland water way vessels, connecting the port of Hamburg to the Hinterland. These cargo units are around 80 meters long, carrying up to 1,000 tons of goods. Most of them are man- aged by only two persons, normally a captain and a boatman. Sometimes this function is held by the wife of the captain, who is also the owner. Some ship owners and drivers have a multi-generation family tradition as inland waterway sailors; others are former employees that were forced by their ship companies to become owners. Nearly half of the sailors are employees of shipping companies with 2 to 50 units. As in the port of Hamburg and upstream inland waterway vessels normally ship only during the day, they have to berth for the night in the harbour or on the riversides. Hamburg’s port is by far the largest sea port in Germany, of great economic importance for the country which is dependent on external trade. Since 1999, turnover has been increasing at percentage rates in double figures. The port is part of a North-European hub-and-spokes- system. For many destinations like Asia, South- and North-America and West-Africa, Hamburg is the hub and serves a lot of spoke-ports in 1 Hamburger Abendblatt and BILD.

  • DRT-Service Starts As Part of Public Transport in Hamburg
    Connection via app: DRT-service starts as part of public transport in Hamburg Cooperation between ioki and VHH • Bookable with the “ioki Hamburg App” • Complete integra- tion into the HVV tariff • New barrier-free electric vehicles on flexible routes on the road (Hamburg, July 17, 2018) An individual shuttle service starts in Hamburg, which can be ordered via app and takes passengers to their destination on flexible routes. This service is particularly attractive be- cause it is integrated into local public transport and can be used easily with an HVV ticket. Verkehrsbe- triebe Hamburg-Holstein GmbH (VHH) is bringing the new service together with ioki, Deutsche Bahn’s business unit for intelligent on-demand mobility, to the districts of Lurup and Osdorf. The “ioki Hamburg” shuttle, which was developed as part of the Smart City partnership with the City of Hamburg, is a new public transport system in the Hamburg Transport Association (HVV) without fixed timetable or routes, which is fully integrated into the HVV fare system. The ride is possible with all time and single tickets of the HVV, so that users do not incur any additional costs. With the help of an algo- rithm, passengers with similar routes are automatically bundled into car pools and transported to- gether. The new service can be booked via the “ioki Hamburg App” and can be used during the launch phase from Monday to Friday between four in the morning and one at night. From August 8, “ioki Ham- burg” will be available 24/7. The journey can be from any address in the service area to a stop or vice versa.
