The issues

Source: European Commission

Transport is a huge consumer of energy

Largely comprised of fossil fuels

Encountering increasing regulation

Fuel is a significant operating cost - often 10-15% of total

We all want cleaner air, more comfort... increases consumption

• • 15 FÉVRIER 20114

An operator's objective

To reduce fossil fuel energy consumption per passenger kilometer operated

Stationary consumers

20%

Efficiency losses* 20%

Auxiliaries in operation

30%Traction 70%

Vehicles 80%

Rolling resistance

10%Brake losses 60% Propulsion

10%

* Efficiency losses: converter, engine, mechanical power train

• • 15 FÉVRIER 20115

Improving fleet energy efficiency

Vehicle production - making all parts contribute fully to energy efficiency

Reducing rolling resistance

Minimising the weight and consumption of anciliary equipment

Effective on-going maintenance

Making intelligent refurbishments

Benchmarking ideas, testing solutions

• • 15 FÉVRIER 20116

Improving operational energy efficiency

Minimising vehicle idling

Minimising "dead running"

Improving driver awareness and performance

Reducing other consumers of energy

• • 15 FÉVRIER 20117

Increasing the proportion of renewable energies in the fleet

Electricity

Biofuels / biogas

Hybrids / fuel cells

• • 15 FÉVRIER 20118

Other energy efficiency actions

Increasing management's awareness and focus

Reducing consumption in infrastructure

Reducing waste

Encouraging employees to travel to work by sustainable means

• • 15 FÉVRIER 20119

Encouraging people to use sustainable mobility

Providing journeys that people want to take Good value for money Excellent journey experiences - stressless, safe, easy, time well spent, reliable Choice of modes

Providing useful and timely customer information Real-time arrivals and departures Maps and directions

Promoting Sustainable policies by local authorities Soft modes (walking, bicycles, car sharing, etc.) Segregated lanes

• • 15 FÉVRIER 201110

Some current European initiatives

EBSF – European Bus System of the Future

Ticket to Kyoto

Tramstore 21

Station Osmose (RATP)

Convenant of Mayors

• • 15 FÉVRIER 201111

Some threats

Increasing comfort can increase energy consumption

Increasing congestion in cities

Conflicting priorities in town halls

PPPs may promote heavier infrastructure than strictly necessary

• • 15 FÉVRIER 201112

Conclusions for investors

Innovative ideas don't always work first time

Many opportunities for partnerships exist

Many energy-efficiency actions are not capital-intensive

Promote options involving lighter infrastructure

Promoting public transport promotes energy efficiency
