Intro­duc­tion

Elec­tri­fi­ca­ti­on of vehic­les fleets is fast pro­gres­sing in many count­ries. Howe­ver, today, more than 90% of buses in Ger­ma­ny and Japan still depend on inter­nal com­bus­ti­on engi­nes. Stake­hol­ders from both count­ries are actively enga­ged in deve­lo­ping tech­no­lo­gies and stra­te­gic plan­ning to pro­mo­te more sus­tainable envi­ron­men­tal and post-fos­sil alter­na­ti­ves. Both count­ries will increase the num­ber of elec­tric buses in the upco­ming years signi­fi­cant­ly. In addi­ti­on to the vehic­les, the depots are at the heart of elec­tri­fi­ca­ti­on. The depots thus beco­me more than just “par­king” loca­ti­ons. They enable the intel­li­gent com­bi­na­ti­on of elec­tric power and mobi­li­ty. The inte­gra­ti­on of elec­tric public trans­port sys­tems and mul­ti­func­tion­al depots shall be addres­sed in a two-day work­shop. We will focus on bus ope­ra­ti­on and depots but are also inte­res­ted in the dis­cus­sion on other vehic­le depots inclu­ding shared mobi­li­ty and logi­stics faci­li­ties and, more broad­ly, vehic­le-to-grid concepts.

On the first day, we will look at the poten­ti­al, impli­ca­ti­ons and risks of the elec­tri­fi­ca­ti­on of the enti­re public and pri­va­te trans­port sec­tor. Despi­te con­cerns about relia­ble and wide­spread char­ging infra­struc­tu­re, social accep­tance (e.g., pri­ce or ran­ge anxie­ty for EV users) slo­wing down the adop­ti­on of elec­tric trans­por­ta­ti­on. Addi­tio­nal­ly, rese­arch fin­dings dis­cuss the envi­ron­men­tal impact of bat­tery pro­duc­tion and dis­po­sal, as well as the source of elec­tri­ci­ty used for char­ging, which could nega­te some of the envi­ron­men­tal bene­fits if deri­ved from non-rene­wa­ble sources. Balan­cing the bene­fits of elec­tri­fi­ca­ti­on with the­se risks requi­res careful plan­ning and invest­ment in infra­struc­tu­re and sus­tainable ener­gy sources.

On the second day, we review and dis­cuss les­sons-lear­nt of 10 years elec­tric bus rese­arch in Ber­lin, resul­ting in clo­se coope­ra­ti­on with the Ber­lin trans­port ope­ra­tor BVG. The opti­miza­ti­on and fle­xi­bi­liza­ti­on of char­ging and ope­ra­ti­on for a who­le fleet will be pre­sen­ted and dis­cus­sed. Within that the rene­wal of bus depots will be explai­ned, as the­se places can help to opti­mi­ze the char­ging pro­cess, sta­bi­li­ze the grid, inte­gra­te rene­wa­ble ener­gy, redu­ce cos­ts, and enable effi­ci­ent fleet manage­ment. The inter­ac­tion bet­ween buses and depots plays a vital role in the suc­cessful adop­ti­on of elec­tric vehic­les for public transportation.

In the final ses­si­on we will broa­den the per­spec­ti­ve and also con­sider other forms of public trans­port, in par­ti­cu­lar shared elec­tric micro­mo­bi­li­ty. The rapid advan­ce of e‑scooters, e‑bikes and shared (mini-)cars will have impli­ca­ti­ons for public trans­port plan­ning and the­se vehic­les also requi­re intel­li­gent char­ging strategies.

The work­shop will iden­ti­fy oppor­tu­ni­ties for the use of V2G in public trans­port and dis­cuss how both count­ries can work more clo­se­ly tog­e­ther in the future to achie­ve cli­ma­te-neu­tral trans­port. In this con­text, we aim to bring tog­e­ther lea­ding tog­e­ther indus­try and scientific partners from Ger­ma­ny and Japan at Kyo­to University.

The event takes place in Japa­ne­se Stan­dard Time (JST).

Elec­tri­fi­ca­ti­on of Public Trans­port — The Ope­ra­tor Perspective

Head of Infra­struc­tu­re and Alter­na­ti­ve Power­trains, Ber­li­ner Ver­kehrs­be­trie­be / “Ber­lin Trans­port Com­pa­ny” (BVG)

Over the past deca­de, Ber­lin has wit­nessed the begin of a signi­fi­cant trans­for­ma­ti­on in its public trans­por­ta­ti­on sec­tor with the elec­tri­fi­ca­ti­on of its bus fleet. The pre­sen­ta­ti­on explo­res the ear­ly stages of this elec­tri­fi­ca­ti­on initia­ti­ve and del­ves into the expe­ri­ence gar­ne­red by Ber­lin’s public trans­port ope­ra­tor, BVG. This pre­sen­ta­ti­on sheds light on the chal­lenges faced and les­sons lear­ned by BVG throug­hout the elec­tri­fi­ca­ti­on pro­cess. Fur­ther­mo­re, it exami­nes the tech­no­lo­gi­cal choices made by BVG, high­light­ing the importance of the infra­struc­tu­re. Loo­king ahead, BVG will pro­vi­de insights into the future of sus­tainable urban mobi­li­ty in Berlin.

In Japan, expe­ri­men­tal pro­jects of various types of elec­tric buses and auto­no­mous buses have been con­duc­ted. Howe­ver, a road­map toward rea­liza­ti­on has not been cle­ar­ly drawn espe­ci­al­ly cost and pro­fi­ta­bi­li­ty issues. On the other hand, it is also beco­ming incre­asing­ly reco­gni­zed that the intro­duc­tion of new mobi­li­ty brings new values.

The aim of this ses­si­on is to high­light and dis­cuss bene­fits and chal­lenges of tran­si­tio­ning from tra­di­tio­nal fos­sil-fuel-powered buses to elec­tric alter­na­ti­ves. Repre­sen­ta­ti­ves from both Japan and Ger­ma­ny will pre­sent their sta­tus-quo and give an out­look of upco­ming plans. Scientific inputs will than reve­al the eco­no­mic advan­ta­ges, high­light­ing poten­ti­al cost savings and increased ener­gy effi­ci­en­cy of elec­tri­fied buses and the appli­ca­ti­on of V2G tech­no­lo­gy. We dis­cuss how buses can sta­bi­li­ze the grid and bring eco­no­mic reve­nues when cer­tain plan­ning obs­ta­cles can be solved.

Mul­ti­func­tion­a­li­ty offers num­e­rous oppor­tu­ni­ties, inclu­ding cost and space savings, yet it also pres­ents various chal­lenges. The ses­si­on will begin with a dis­cus­sion on loca­ti­on issues asso­cia­ted with elec­tri­fi­ca­ti­on. Throug­hout the ses­si­on, we will pre­sent con­cepts, accep­tance fac­tors, and poten­ti­al imple­men­ta­ti­on stra­te­gies into business pro­ces­ses based on rese­arch from the Mobility2Grid pro­ject. The dif­fe­rent con­di­ti­ons in Ger­ma­ny and Japan will be dis­cus­sed, high­light­ing both eco­no­mic and eco­lo­gi­cal aspects.
Join us to gain insights into the mul­ti­face­ted world of mul­ti­func­tion­al depots and mobi­li­ty hubs, under­stand their com­ple­xi­ties, and explo­re how they can be inte­gra­ted into our urban land­scapes to enhan­ce sus­tainable mobility.

Free­floa­ting, Sta­ti­on based or Hybrid Sha­ring Sys­tems — Avai­la­bi­li­ty is key!
Mar­co Zahn, Tier Mobi­li­ty SE, Regio­nal Mana­ger Ber­lin & Brandenburg

An important fac­tor for the accep­tance and suc­cess of micro­mo­bi­li­ty in the urban mobi­li­ty mix is the ide­al com­bi­na­ti­on of a tidy street­scape and the avai­la­bi­li­ty of vehic­les. Ide­al­ly, this com­bi­na­ti­on is also con­cei­ved in coope­ra­ti­on with local public trans­port and is based on local con­di­ti­ons. A field report from Berlin.

 Down­load Slides

The elec­tri­fi­ca­ti­on of micro-mobi­li­ty, which includes e‑scooters, elec­tric bicy­cles, and other small elec­tric vehic­les, offers num­e­rous poten­ti­als for cities and public trans­port ope­ra­tors. The­se small-sca­le mobi­li­ty tools (“Mobi­li­täts­werk­zeu­ge”) can enhan­ce acces­si­bi­li­ty for short- distance trips, espe­ci­al­ly in con­ge­sted urban are­as like Kyo­to or Ber­lin whe­re lar­ger vehic­les may not be prac­ti­cal. It pro­vi­des last-mile con­nec­ti­vi­ty to public tran­sit sta­ti­ons, enab­ling peo­p­le to com­ple­te their jour­neys con­ve­ni­ent­ly. Elec­tri­fi­ca­ti­on of micro-mobi­li­ty requi­res the deve­lo­p­ment of a robust char­ging infra­struc­tu­re. Char­ging sta­ti­ons for the­se vehic­les need to be stra­te­gi­cal­ly pla­ced throug­hout urban are­as to ensu­re their avai­la­bi­li­ty and usa­bi­li­ty. We will explo­re the oppor­tu­ni­ties and dif­fe­rent chal­lenges in Ger­ma­ny and Japan, by not only loo­king at tech­ni­cal aspects but also by reflec­ting on social accep­tance and dif­fe­rent cul­tu­ral atti­tu­des towards an inte­gra­ti­on of micro-mobi­li­ty into dai­ly tra­vel routines.
