UITP eBus Innovation Projects

Following eBus Market Growth

and relative Challenges

2Number of eBuses Orders in Europe / year

R&I PROJECT ABOUT BUSESZeEUS• The first and largest project on high capacity urban electric bus systems

ELIPTIC• Integration in grid, evolution of trolleybuses, multipurpose charging

EBSF_2• Innovative Bus Systems: eBus design, auxiliaries…

JIVE / JIVE_2• Deployment of large fleets of Fuel Cell buses

ASSURED• ZeEUS follow-up: interoperability, high power charging, smart charging of large

fleets

PROJECTS HELP TO SOLVE THE 5

MAIN CHALLENGES FOR THE CLEAN

BUS DEPLOYMENT IN EUROPE

UITP9

High upfront cost New

operations

Standardisation / InteroperabilityReinforcing cooperation

energy/bus

New ways to procure:

- Vehicles & Equipments

- Operation services

UNIQUE POINTS HOW ELIPTIC HELPS TO SOLVE

THE 5 MAIN CHALLENGES FOR THE CLEAN BUS

DEPLOYMENT IN EUROPE

High upfront cost: From running costs to investment.

New business cases

New operations:

Exchange of experience

Project demos and feasibility studies are a platform to help the understanding of the operations of new technologies.

Trade-off = capacity vs autonomy

Advanced concepts for battery trolley operations

New ways to procure: SWOT Analysis

Reinforcing cooperation energy/bus: Integration in energy infrastructure

Use of existing PT power network

UITP10

E-BUSES: ENHANCING INTEGRATION

WITH URBAN INFRASTRUCTURE

UITP11

Gothenburg

Bringing public transport even closer to where

people live and work

UITP’S MISSION TO SUPPORT LARGE

SCALE DEPLOYMENT OF E-BUSES

1. Comprehensive strategy addressing all main

challenges

2. Involvement of UITP Commissions & Committees

3. Research & innovation projects

4. Participation to the development of

Standardisation

5. Development of specificy tools: Design charter

for e-Bus, Tender Structure guidelines, « E-SORT »,

6. Trainings

7. Advocacy & Communication

8. UITP Data & Statistics activities

STANDARDISATION

PROCESS

STANDARDISATION

There is a need to standardise ebussystems and interfaces

Tendering

Costs saving

Better resale value of vehicles

Sharing of charging infrastructure

Different ways of charging an eBus

EBUS STANDARDISATION IN

EUROPE

• CEN/CENELEC• European Mandate 533 on alternative fuels infrastructure

(2014/94/EU) including electric buses (connective / inductive).

• Standard end 2019, but it may be quicker.

• ZeEUS project / UITP & VDV Steering Groups • Use case document as input to CEN / CENELEC work

• describe how the electric buses operate and the sequence of activities for charging

• depot / opportunity charging

• Industry Open Platform• Interoperability between vehicles & chargers at the products’ level

• Open to all industries.

• Today: VDL, Volvo, Solaris, Irizar, ABB, Siemens, Heliox, Iveco, Scania, Man, Optare, Linker

• National Initiatives• Germany (VDV), Czech Republic (PTO association…)

FUTURE STEPS: STANDARDISATION

ACTIVITIES - ASSURED PROJECT

After ZeEUS, eBUS Charging Standardisation activities will

be followed by the ASSURED project

Contact and Wireless charging

Main tasks

Update of the standardisation use cases

Follow-up and support of institutional and industrial

Standardisation activities

EC, CEN-CENELEC, UITP eBus Std Steering Board, Industry

Charging Group, CHARIN Group, OPPCharge, SAE, ACEA..

Test protocols development and lab test (2019)

Charging interoperability test in real operation (2020)

6 OEMs and 3 charging solution suppliers (planned)
