What solution for Zero-Emission PT?

VDL Bus & Coach is committed to help

the environment with green solutions.

There are now several green solutions;

• Diesel Euro6

• Diesel hybrid

• Trolley

• Hydrogen Fuel Cell

• Fast charging Energy storage

• Slow charging Energy storage

Opinions on Zero-Emission PT!

Operator:

- Too heavy, so less passengers (18m-18ton dsl 2.500km, H2 320km, bat 40km)

- Too big equipment, so less passengers

- Too high, so operation on all lines is not possible

- Range is too small, so operation on all lines is not possible

- Special depot and also special maintenance people required

- Too expensive, so not economical

- Unreliable, so not economical

Energy supplier:

- High peaks in electricity lines, during loading

- Big investments in charging or fuelling stations

Public Transport Manufacturer:

- Weight and Weight distribution

- No quantity of vehicles

- No real competition, because one time engineering with one supplier

- Big engineering risks, due to constant developments energy-storage and charging principle

• Conclusions


11

Increase, for political reasons?

Important problems

• Energy shortage

• Noise

• Air pollution

• Optical pollution

• Economical pollution (Traffic jams)

Responsibility to NEXT generation

• Renewable energy sources

• Better environment

• Better life-quality

• Public Transport is the most efficient way to start

• Inner-city

• Reduction of Private Transport

• Politically easy to manage


12

Increase, for technical reasons?

Important improvements of

• Efficiency

• Weight and Volume

• Performance

• Costs

Promising developments on

• Renewable Energy sources

• Charging equipment

• Energy storage equipment

• Energy users


13

Increase, for economical reasons?

TCO: Zero-Emission PT < Conventional PT within 5 years

• Price of conventional Energy sources are increasing

• Price of green Energy sources are decreasing

• Price of Energy Loading/Storage/Users equipment is decreasing

• Conclusions


25

The optimal solutions for Zero-Emission PT

is the modularity of the Citea-E


26

Opinion on Citea-E Zero-Emission PT!

•Height less than 3,10 metre, can travel on all lines

• Flexibility: 1. Vehicle can run on different lines. All kind of ranges with RE modules possible.

2. Various RE modules can be used at the same standard vehicle

3. RE modules can be changed on the line

4. Charging or refuelling can be logistically optimized

• Vehicle depreciation, regardless of: 1. Energy storage developments fuel cell

2. Development of charging technology

• Vehicle costs / passenger is much lower than in an integrated system:

1. Vehicle is standard and can be produced in large quantities

2. RE modules can be optimized as module, not as a vehicle integrated system

3. Competition in RE modules is possible

4. Lower development costs. Future developments cheaper to integrate

• Small maintenance depot for H2 RE module. No special depot for vehicle
