PRESS RELEASE Bombardier Premieres Game Changing E PRESS RELEASE Bombardier Premieres Game Changing E-Mobility Solutions at the UITP World Congress in Geneva Much lighter and faster-charging PRIMOVE battery and innovative propulsion systems for electric buses introduced to the global market Bombardier showcases current global projects including high-capacity INNOVIA Monorail 300 system for São Paulo, new driverless MOVIA metros for Singapore and CITYFLO 650 CBTC solution for London Underground’s largest ever signalling upgrade World-leading Swiss public transport operators select Bombardier for next generation product development Geneva, May 27, 2013 – Rail technology leader Bombardier Transportation today launched its entry into a new market segment by demonstrating its groundbreaking BOMBARDIER PRIMOVE e-mobility solution developed for the bus sector. The PRIMOVE system of wireless e-mobility has already been successfully proven in tram operations. Bombardier has further developed this technology to deliver the same benefits to the electric bus sector, with passengers in Europe potentially enjoying emission-free bus journeys from as early as 2014. Visitors will have the opportunity to experience for themselves a smooth, noise free ride on an e-bus equipped with the PRIMOVE propulsion and controls system at UITP, Geneva. The new expanded portfolio of PRIMOVE technology now includes ultra-light PRIMOVE batteries and the PRIMOVE propulsion and control system that optimises energy efficiency for road vehicles. The market for e-buses is set to grow substantially in the next 10 years and Bombardier technology is set to be a driver of this growth. Under the theme “Stepping into the Future”, in addition to PRIMOVE, Bombardier is demonstrating its continued technological leadership in the mass transit sector. Featured are solutions that are currently being delivered to increase capacity on some of the world’s most challenging projects and encouraging a modal shift from cars to rail. These include the new, high capacity BOMBARDIER INNOVIA Monorail 300 system that is being provided for São Paulo to transport half a million passengers per day. The BOMBARDIER CITYFLO 650 CBTC system currently being delivered to London Underground for its biggest ever signalling upgrade encompassing 40% of the network and four lines that transport 1.3 million passengers per day, will also be featured. In addition, visitors can learn about the driverless BOMBARDIER MOVIA metro, with first units already in test with Singapore’s Land Transport Authority. The fleet of 73 automated trains will operate on the Singapore Downtown Line, the longest driverless underground mass rapid transit line in the world, transporting around half a million passengers a day. Bombardier continues to consolidate its leading market position in the light rail market. The most recent models of the BOMBARDIER FLEXITY family entered revenue service in Blackpool, UK, in April 2012 while manufacturing activities and deliveries are progressing for BVB in Basel, Switzerland; BVG in Berlin, Germany; Gold Coast and Melbourne, Australia; and Toronto, Canada. To date, 1,236 FLEXITY 100 per cent low-floor trams have been sold worldwide. Jürg Baumgartner, Managing Director, Basel Transport Authority (BVB), said: “I’m convinced the City of Basel will get the best possible trams for its network. The FLEXITY tram outperforms all other vehicles by a massive margin. Traditionally, Basel’s trams have shaped the city’s identity. I believe that this region deserves a tram fleet that reflects our modern urban lifestyle and I am looking forward to the new trams entering service.” The global rail industry is uniquely positioned to provide energy-efficient mobility for millions of people today and in the future, according to a study for the European rail industry association UNIFE. Global trends such as urbanisation (eight out of 10 people worldwide are expected to live in towns and cities by 2050), energy volatility, and environmental concerns point to a significant development of lower carbon, rail-based urban mass transit. This urban mass transit market is forecast to grow at a rate in the region of 6% per year reaching $24.3 billion US in 2017 from the total of $16.6 billion US verified in 2011. Also the global rail supply market is expected to grow steadily over the next five years. The total accessible market volume of $195 billion US per annum verified in 2011 is forecast to increase by 2.6% to just over $227 billion US in 2017.

Bombardier will also provide a demonstration of its groundbreaking PRIMOVE technology in the outdoor exhibition area. Note to Editors World premiere of PRIMOVE battery and propulsion The first inductively charged e-bus featuring the convenient PRIMOVE wireless charging system has just been successfully tested in daily passenger operation in Mannheim, Germany. This week, Bombardier announces the expansion of the PRIMOVE portfolio with the launch of two new e-mobility solutions – the PRIMOVE battery system and the PRIMOVE propulsion and controls system. 2 The new PRIMOVE battery system is a lighter and faster charging high-power battery than any other on the market. It can charge more than three times faster and weighs 50 per cent less than comparable existing solutions. The newly presented PRIMOVE propulsion and controls system integrates sophisticated electrical driveline solutions with clever interfaces for all major vehicle components to significantly boost the overall efficiency and performance of electric buses. With the expanded PRIMOVE e-mobility portfolio, Bombardier is introducing a complete package that allows cities and the transportation industry to easily incorporate true electric mobility. Bombardier is ideally positioned to meet the needs of the global market in electric buses. By 2020, the electric bus market is expected to represent 10 per cent of the city bus market at approximately 10,000 electric buses per annum. Bombardier products in Switzerland Switzerland, host of the 60th UITP congress and exhibition, is an ideal country in which to highlight mass transit solutions of today and the future because of its world-leading public transportation infrastructure. Bombardier has been present in Switzerland for several decades and has participated in the manufacture of around 70% of all rail vehicles currently operating on the Swiss rail network. The country is home to some of Bombardier’s most innovative products and two global Bombardier Engineering Competence Centres. Flagships of the Swiss intercity and regional transport network such as the ICN intercity tilting train and the IC2000 double-decker train, the popular Lok 2000 and the BOMBARDIER TRAXX locomotives, the NINA and RE Lötschberger regional trains, the Tram 2000, the iconic Cobra Tram in Zurich and the FLEXITY Cityrunner Tram in Geneva, prove Bombardier’s leading contribution to the country’s transportation strategy.

  • Applying Life Cycle Assessment to Analyze the Environmental Sustainability of Public Transit Modes for the City of Toronto
    Applying life cycle assessment to analyze the environmental sustainability of public transit modes for the City of Toronto by Ashton Ruby Taylor A thesis submitted to the Department of Geography & Planning in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada September, 2016 Copyright © Ashton Ruby Taylor, 2016 Abstract One challenge related to transit planning is selecting the appropriate mode: bus, light rail transit (LRT), regional express rail (RER), or subway. This project uses data from life cycle assessment to develop a tool to measure energy requirements for different modes of transit, on a per passenger-kilometer basis. For each of the four transit modes listed, a range of energy requirements associated with different vehicle models and manufacturers was developed. The tool demonstrated that there are distinct ranges where specific transit modes are the best choice. Diesel buses are the clear best choice from 7-51 passengers, LRTs make the most sense from 201-427 passengers, and subways are the best choice above 918 passengers. There are a number of other passenger loading ranges where more than one transit mode makes sense; in particular, LRT and RER represent very energy-efficient options for ridership ranging from 200 to 900 passengers. The tool developed in the thesis was used to analyze the Bloor-Danforth subway line in Toronto using estimated ridership for weekday morning peak hours. It was found that ridership across the line is for the most part actually insufficient to justify subways over LRTs or RER. This suggests that extensions to the existing Bloor-Danforth line should consider LRT options, which could service the passenger loads at the ends of the line with far greater energy efficiency.

  • Enhancing Infrastructure
    ENHANCING INFRASTRUCTURE New York City’s historical development and pre-eminence, as well as its current growth and success are predicated in part on its transportation offerings. Today, ensuring that we can use the infrastructure we have, and that our current systems are truly accessible to all New Yorkers is a key goal. Such efforts are vital not only for the 8.3 million New Yorkers but also to encourage and promote economic growth stemming from the 47 million visitors to New York each year. Indeed, enhancing our public transit system so that travel throughout the city is easy and “seamless ”is one of the city’s most important transportation goals. As New York embarks upon a massive re-branding campaign to increase New York’s visibility as a tourist destination, increasing access to the city’s transportation systems and enhancing the connectivity of the system has never been more important. This report highlights five technologies and systems that have increased access and improved subway connections in other cities around the world and which could be implemented in New York. • Designated ROWs » Case Study 15: Physically Separated ROWs » Case Study 16: Non-Physically Separated ROWs • Internal Gangway Subway Cars » Case Study 17: Articulated Subway Cars • Bicycle Transit Centers » Case Study 18: BikeStation and the McDonalds Cycle Center • Wheelchair Access for the Subways » Case Study 19: Wheelchair Escalators and Emergency Lifts » Case Study 20: Universal Access Turnstiles • Taxi Vouchers and Accessible Taxis » Case Study 21: Chicago’s Taxi Access Program Cars double-parked in the bicycle lane on Lafayette Street in 2007.
