This document discusses alternative fuels and their role in improving urban mobility. It begins with charts showing the development of consumer goods like households, TVs, phones, and private cars in the Netherlands from 1950-2015. The objectives of the session are then outlined, focusing on the EU Alternative Fuels Directive and status of alternative fuel deployment. Integrating alternative fuels into urban mobility could improve local air quality and reduce emissions and oil dependence. However, challenges include avoiding increased private vehicle use, taking advantage of trends toward shared mobility, and decreasing road space used for mobility while ensuring safety. The energy source is also a consideration.

4. Objectives of the session
 To inform participants about the Alternative Fuels Directive (Daniela
Rosca – Head of Unit for Clean Transport and Sustainable Urban Mobility)
 To update on the status of implementation of alternative fuels
deployment and electrification (Bert Witkamp – Secretary General of
AVERE European Association for Electromobility)
 Interactive discussion:
o Experiences of national level implementation
o Experiences and implications of local implementation
o Links to the development of Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans

8. Alternative fuels will help to
improve urban mobility in my city,
because:
………………………………………....

9. Alternative fuels will help to improve
urban mobility, because:
 Local air quality can be improved (mainly Pm and Nox)
 CO2 emissions (well to wheel) can be reduced
o especially when electricity is generated from CO2 neutral
sources
 Oil dependence can be reduced
 Electric vehicles can be integrated in the urban (energy)
system (local storage)
 It paves the way for further automation of vehicles?
o Distance parking etc
o Electric vehicles could become „horizontal elevators‟ (e.g.
Kavalir)
 Electric vehicles can be smaller in the future?

10. A desired future for urban mobility?

11. Challenges for integrating
alternative fuels in urban mobility in
my city are:
………………………………………....

12. Challenges for integrating alternative
fuels in urban mobility:
 How to avoid an increase in usage of private (electric) vehicles
in urban areas?
o EV = short distance, Urban = short distance  EV = urban
o Free parking /charging / using of bus lanes
o Implementation of charging points: where to put them? (charge &
ride)
 How to take advantage of the strong trend towards ‘using’ in
stead of ‘owning’ vehicles in urban areas?
o Smart organisation of mobility in urban areas: public transport and
cycling/walking preferred modes above private car use (EV and
conventionally fuelled)
o “Mobility as a service” requires more than putting another fuel in the
tank
 How to decrease road space used for mobility in (dense) urban
areas?
o 20 – 25% of space is used for infrastructure (moving & parking)
 How to ensure a safe mobility system?
 Where does the energy come from?
