Part A “About IA-HEV” describes the Imple- menting Agreement for co-operation on Hybrid and Electric Vehicle Technologies and Programmes (IA-HEV), its activities, and its plans for the coming years. The Chairperson’s message in chapter 1 includes a summary of IA-HEV activities in 2012, as well as the current structure of the IA-HEV today. Chapter 2 explains the relationship between IA-HEV and the International Energy Agency (IEA), as well as describing the IA-HEV history, results, and current working programme. Part B “IA-HEV Tasks” presents the results of the work that is performed by the task forces, called Tasks, working under this Agreement to conduct research into specific topics of particular relevance to hybrid and electric vehicles. A general picture of hybrid and electric vehicles (H&EVs) around the globe is paint- ed in part C, “H&EVs worldwide”. The first chapter (12) in this section gives the most recently available H&EV statistical information from all 17 member countries. More detailed information on H&EV activities in each IA-HEV member country is presented in chapters 13 through 29. Finally, Part D gives practical information related to hybrid and electric vehicles and the Agreement, including a list of IA-HEV publications, definitions of vehicle categories, conversion factors for H&EV related units, a glossary of terms, abbrevia- tions, and contact information of the IA-HEV Executive Committee and Task Oper- ating Agents. vi www.ieahev.org 1 Chairperson’s Message The Implementing Agreement for co-operation on Hybrid and Electric vehicles (IA- HEV) is one of 42 technology collaboration programs of the International Energy Agency (IEA). Now with 18 member countries from Europe, North America, and Asia, we launched in 1993 and are now halfway through our fourth term that began in December 2009 and will finish at the end of February 2015. IA-HEV is well on its way towards achieving the current term’s objectives (listed in Box 1.1) of collaborat- ing on producing and disseminating new knowledge and information on hybrid and electric vehicles (HEVs and EVs). Box 1.1 IA HEV objectives for the fourth phase (2009 – 2015) 1. To produce objective information for policy and decision makers on hybrid and electric vehicle technology, projects and programs, and their effects on energy efficiency and the environment. 2. To disseminate the information produced to the IEA community, national governments, in- dustries, and as long as the information is not confidential, to other organizations that have an interest. 3. To collaborate on pre-competitive research projects and related topics and to investigate the need for further research in promising areas. 4. To collaborate with other transportation-related IEA Implementing Agreements (in Tasks, or joint Tasks), and to collaborate with specific groups or committees with an interest in trans- portation, vehicles, and fuels. 5. To be a platform for reliable information on hybrid and electric vehicles. Over the past year, as the international EV market has grown, more and more coun- tries are asking about how to participate in IA-HEV. The Republic of Korea (South Korea) was invited to join our Implementing Agreement in October 2012, and offi- cially became a member in April 2013. During the year we welcomed many observ- ers and prospective members at our meetings, many from Asian countries. Asia is an important player in the transition from internal combustion engines (ICE) to the elec- tric vehicle (EV), and we hope to see more participation in IA-HEV from this region. In summer 2012, IA-HEV signed a collaboration agreement with the Electric Ve- hicles Initiative (EVI) of the Clean Energy Ministerial. EVI is a forum for global co-operation on EV development and deployment. The IEA’s Paris headquarters office coordinates the data transfer work. The EVI member countries as of early 2013 are China, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, the Neth- erlands, Portugal, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom (UK), and the www.ieahev.org 1 2012 IA-HEV ANNUAL REPORT United States (US). EVI seeks to facilitate the global deployment of 20 million EVs by 2020, including plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) and fuel cell vehicles (FCVs). IA-HEV is cooperating with EVI as an observer, and many countries are members of both organizations. Transition from ICE to EVs All of the IA-HEV member countries along with the entire world are in the initial stages of transitioning from reliance on ICE vehicles to more sustainable transport modes such as EVs. The progress in the past few years has been remarkable, but we are still in the early stages of the transition. It will take patience and determined ef- fort from all EV stakeholders to overcome technology, financial, market, and policy challenges. IA-HEV continues to work to build a solid foundation for EVs to be- come mainstream. Governments can offer tax incentives and other subsidies, but ultimately it is con- sumers who will determine whether EVs succeed as a viable transport option. Au- tomotive OEMs will manufacture and sell vehicles as the market demands, so they are making big investments in building new EV and PHEV models. There is a huge amount of potential for new industry growth, but as with any new industry, there is high risk for investors. It will take considerable work to adapt the current auto industry and supporting in- dustries to a new world of electromobility. Research and development (R&D) invest- ment in HEV and EV technology will grow along with the need to train an EV work- force, from the mechanics who work on EVs, to building the natural resource supply chain needed to make advanced batteries for EVs. As markets shift from using fossil fuels, the fossil fuel companies are competing with emerging EV electricity markets. So, oil companies and the associated industries may view electricity markets that supply EVs as competitors.

  • On the Potential for One-Way Electric Vehicle Car-Sharing in Future Mobility Systems T ⁎ Richard Mounce , John D
    Transportation Research Part A 120 (2019) 17–30 Contents lists available at ScienceDirect Transportation Research Part A journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/tra On the potential for one-way electric vehicle car-sharing in future mobility systems T ⁎ Richard Mounce , John D. Nelson Centre for Transport Research, School of Engineering, University of Aberdeen, Fraser Noble Building, Aberdeen AB24 3UE, UK ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: City transport systems often struggle to cope with high volumes of traffic and become congested, Car-sharing despite the use of various traffic management strategies. The concentration of traffic around city Electric vehicle centres results in pollution and poor urban air quality, although the increasing popularity of Charging electric vehicles is helping ameliorate these effects. One reason for the growing momentum Redistribution behind electric vehicles is the emergence of mobility operators such as car-sharing companies, Autonomous vehicle who target users wishing to rent out vehicles on a short-term basis. There is currently rapid growth in one-way car-sharing, in which the vehicle can be dropped off at a different location to the pickup point. Crucially, one-way car-sharing gives the opportunity for travellers to utilise car- sharing in conjunction with other modes, such as public transport modes, for their journey provided the requisite intermodal connections are present. This paper looks at how one-way electric vehicle car-sharing systems have the potential to become important components of future city transport systems. The future role of shared autonomous vehicles is also considered. 1. Introduction Towns and cities are very significant to transport, with larger cities being of greater significance.

For additional information about contents of this document you may contact [email protected] Elisa Robles Director General of the Centre for the Development of Industrial Technology (CDTI) Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness Dear members of the Spanish Green Vehicles Community, It is a great honor for me to welcome you to the sixth Spanish Green Vehicles Cars annual con- ference. I am also very pleased to perceive the interest of the Spanish regions to host this event that it is becoming a key date to shape a challenging future ahead based on our R&D state of the art project results. Spain has a long tradition in automotive industry, nowadays Spain held on to 12th position at a world level and 2nd position at a European level in number of vehicle production. In 2013, more than 2 million of vehicles were manufactures and it is expected an increasing production to 2.4 million in 2014 and more than 3 million for the next years. These fi gures refl ect a promising future for this sector, that it is the third largest exporting sector in Spain, representing the 16% of the country´s entire exports and 10% of the GPD, either directly or indirectly. However, huge new markets are attracting production and the partnership between OEMs and suppliers is in a process of transformation where decision in research themes are a backbone to defi ne tomor- row’s winners that will build a new landscape.

    Czech Technical University in Prague Faculty of Mechanical Engineering Department of Automotive, Combustion Engine and Railway Engineering Master Thesis Design of rear wheel suspension for a city car sharing vehicle Supervisor: Ing. Václav Jirovský, Ph.D. Bc. Petr Vácha 2019 Task 2 Annotation Author: Bc. Petr Vácha Title: Design of rear wheel suspension for a city car sharing vehicle Academic year: 2018/2019 Programme: Master of Automotive Engineering Major: Advanced Powertrains Department: Department of Automotive, Combustion Engine and Railway Engineering Supervisor: Ing. Václav Jirovský, Ph.D. Abstract: This thesis consists of research on small city vehicles and prototypes, calculations of longitudinal dynamics of a vehicle and design calculations of a foldable rear suspension system. It also includes a CAD model of the rear suspension made in Catia V5 and dynamic tests in CarMaker. Keywords: Electric car, suspension, design, vehicle dynamics, foldable car Number of pages: 111 Number of pictures: 159 Number of tables: 26 3 Guideline: Car sharing can be seen as a partial solution for decrease of congestion in cities. For achieving such goal, not only car sharing could be a solution, but vehicle used in car sharing system shall match specific requirements. One of such requirements is the optimum size of the vehicle, which shall not occupy same space as current vehicles in all driving situations – when parked or when driving at maximum city speeds. Therefore, the vehicle has to be short enough to fit in a single parking space width, and narrow enough to fit two vehicles in single driving lane one next to another. Design of the vehicle has to implement some folding-like mechanism, which would allow shortening overall vehicle’s length when parked but will not negatively influence vehicle’s stability when driving.
