    Appendices: 7 LICENSING COMMITTEE REPORT Report Taxi and Private Hire Vehicle Emissions Policy Title AGENDA STATUS: PUBLIC Committee Meeting Date 5th December 2017 Policy Document: Taxi & Private Hire Vehicle Emissions Policy Directorate: Customers & Communities 1. Purpose 1. To consider a Private Hire & Taxi Vehicle Emissions Policy to improve the air quality and reduce the health impact for the residents and visitors to Northampton Town 2. Recommendations 2. That taking account of consultation responses received, the Committee adopt the proposed Hackney and Private Hire Vehicle Emission Policy. Appendix A 3. Issues and Choices Report Background 3.1 On the 13 September 2016 the Licensing Committee agreed for consultation to be undertaken in respect of the proposed Hackney and Private Hire Vehicle Emissions & Age Policy. 3.2 This report is only concerned with an Emissions Policy. 3.3 Consultation was undertaken between the 24th November 2016 and the 16th February 2017 and the findings of the consultation are detailed in section 5 of this report. 3.4 Since a change in vehicle policy in 2012, the trade have voiced concerns that the standard of vehicles has fallen within the town and, in particular older vehicles are now being licensed that have high emissions, creating a less environmental friendly fleet of taxi and private hire vehicles. The Hackney trade have requested that an age policy is reintroduced, and have asked for this to be considered as a matter of urgency, to avoid a gradual increase in the number of older vehicles entering the trade. 3.5 The age policy has been deferred to a later date as any emission policy, if adopted, will restrict the minimum age of a licensed vehicle and has the potential to impact upon any maximum age policy.

  • The Role of LS-DYNA® in the Design of the New London Electric Taxi
    15th International LS-DYNA® Users Conference Automotive The Role of LS-DYNA® in the Design of the New London Electric Taxi Jamie Dennis1, Simon Hart1 1Arup (Advanced Technology and Research), Solihull, UK Abstract The iconic London taxi is known worldwide. The London Taxi Company (LTC) has produced this much loved vehicle for many years with few radical changes. Recently, zero-emission legislation in London and the global demand for cleaner vehicles has prompted an evolution in its design. With investment from owner Geely, the newly branded London EV Company (LEVC) will produce several thousand electric taxis per year from its new headquarters in Coventry, UK. The designers, Emerald Automotive Design (EAD), engaged Arup to analyse all structural and safety load cases. This paper discusses how the versatility of LS-DYNA and the modularity of the keyword file enabled Arup to use a single-model approach for all analysis - from full vehicle crashworthiness through to component- level durability checks - and how this facilitated an efficient division of activity between remote teams in the UK and China. The application of both explicit and implicit LS-DYNA to the various load cases is considered, together with the correlation against physical testing. Special challenges were posed by the requirement to comply with Transport for London’s (TfL) Conditions of Fitness and the need to protect the high-voltage components. Reliance on the LS-DYNA predictions was high, with few prototype stages afforded by the accelerated programme. Successful progression directly from simulation to legislative testing sign-off was achieved for cases including pedestrian protection. Arup’s use of LS-DYNA was key in bringing this lightweight bonded aluminium taxi to market, whilst minimising energy consumption and delivering a solution to the issue of sustainable city transport.

  • Development and Assessment of an Over-Expanded Engine to Be Used As an Efficiency-Oriented Range Extender for Electric Vehicles
    energies Article Development and Assessment of an Over-Expanded Engine to be Used as an Efficiency-Oriented Range Extender for Electric Vehicles F. P. Brito 1,* , Jorge Martins 1 , Francisco Lopes 2, Carlos Castro 1, Luís Martins 1 and A. L. N. Moreira 2 1 Mechanical Engineering and Resource Sustainability Centre (MEtRICs), Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Minho, 4800-058 Guimarães, Portugal; [email protected] (J.M.); [email protected] (C.C.); [email protected] (L.M.) 2 Center for Innovation, Technology and Policy Research (IN+), Department of Mechanical Engineering, Instituto Superior Técnico, University of Lisbon, 1349-063 Lisbon, Portugal; [email protected] (F.L.); [email protected] (A.L.N.M.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 4 December 2019; Accepted: 7 January 2020; Published: 16 January 2020 Abstract: A range extender (RE) is a device used in electric vehicles (EVs) to generate electricity on-board, enabling them to significantly reduce the number of required batteries and/or extend the vehicle driving range to allow occasional long trips. In the present work, an efficiency-oriented RE based on a small motorcycle engine modified to the efficient over-expanded cycle, was analyzed, tested and simulated in a driving cycle. The RE was developed to have two points of operation, ECO: 3000 rpm, very high efficiency with only 15 kW; and BOOST: 7000 rpm with 35 kW. While the ECO strategy was a straightforward development for the over-expansion concept (less trapped air and a much higher compression ratio) the BOOST strategy was more complicated to implement and involved the need for throttle operation.

  • Annex 3 Vehicle Types, Item 44. PDF 276 KB
    ANNEX 3 Vehicle Types Please note, all references are for illustration only. Other vehicles may be available and prices/information are taken from internet research. There may be better deals available. 1. Electric Plug in vehicles (fully electric and plug in petrol hybrid). These vehicles are purpose-built taxis and have CO2 emissions of less than 50g/km and can travel at least 112km (70 miles) without any emissions at all: Dynamo Taxi Image of Dynamo Taxi (dynamotaxi.com) The Dynamo taxi is 100% electric and comes with a side wheelchair access https://www.dynamotaxi.com/why-dynamo/. According to the website, the ‘launch price’ is £48k and a ‘rapid charge’ takes 40-60 minutes. LEVC TX Image of LEVC TX (levc.com) The LEVC TX is powered by a lithium-ion battery and features a petrol range extender to maintain the battery charge state. The battery always powers the motor and drives the vehicle. The range-extender acts as a backup generator and is only used to trickle-charge the battery to maintain its current state of charge. https://www.levc.com/tx-electric-taxi/ It can run in 3 different modes: 1) Pure EV mode - disables the range extender, using only electric power. This consumes no petrol and produces no emissions – a very effective option for inner-city driving. If the battery becomes depleted, an indicator advises the driver to select a different driving mode. This mode is only available when the battery has sufficient charge. 2) Smart mode - is the default operating mode which operates TX in the most efficient way by depleting the battery as much as possible before engaging the range extender.

  • Note 19 Taxi and Private Hire Vehicle Fleet Research
    Greater Manchester’s Clean Air Plan to tackle Nitrogen Dioxide Exceedances at the Roadside Note 19: Taxi and PHV Fleet Research Post-OBC approach Warning: Printed copies of this document are uncontrolled Version Status: DRAFT FOR Prepared by: Paul Davison APPROVAL 31th July 2019 Authorised by: Ian Palmer Date: 5th August 2019 CONFIDENTIAL Draft for Approval Introduction The ten local authorities of Greater Manchester (GM) have been instructed by the government to produce a Clean Air Plan (CAP) to set out how they will target and mitigate areas of poor air quality within their boundaries. GM has decided to coordinate a Combined Authority response to this request, which is being managed on behalf of the 10 districts by Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM). Currently, the CAP includes plans for a Clean Air Zone (CAZ) which would apply a charge (Table 1) to commercial vehicles (buses, minibuses, coaches, Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs), Light Goods Vehicles (LGVs), taxis and private hire vehicles (PHVs)). To help mitigate the adverse effects of this charge, the CAP will include a number of ‘Clean Vehicle Funds’ and a Loan Finance Scheme. These will provide grants and affordable loans (respectively) to eligible businesses affected by the charge. To determine the scope and definition of these funds, and the eligibility criteria, a wide range of policy development processes are being undertaken. Working Groups have been established to ensure the proposals that emerge can be stress-tested with those they will apply to. This research is designed to contribute to this body of evidence. This technical note provides an overview of the market for the taxi and PHV vehicle category and an impact assessment of the proposed CAZ charge.
