Alternative fuels for sustainable mobility in Europe: Directive 2014/94/EULeonardo ENERGY
On 24th January 2013, the European Commission proposed an ambitious set of measures, known as the “Clean Power for Transport package”, to solve the chicken-or-egg problem hampering the market uptake of clean (and in particular electric) vehicles in Europe.
The initiative aimed at ensuring the necessary build-up of alternative fuel stations across Europe with common standards for their design and use and included a proposal for a Directive on the deployment of alternative fuels recharging and refuelling infrastructure.
After extensive inter-institutional negotiations between the Commission, the Council and the European Parliament, the Directive was finally adopted on 29th September 2014. It requires Member States to develop national policy frameworks for the market development of clean vehicles, foresees the use of common technical specifications for recharging and refuelling stations and requests the setting up of consumer information on alternative fuels.

"A big data approach for investigating the performance of road infrastructure...TRUSS ITN
“Using truck sensors for road pavement performance investigation” is a research project within TRUSS, an innovative training network funded from the EU under the Horizon 2020 programme. The project aims at assessing the impact of the condition of the road pavement unevenness and macrotexture, on the fuel consumption of trucks to reduce uncertainty in the framework of life-cycle assessment of road pavements. In the past, several studies claimed that a road pavement in poor condition can affect the fuel consumption of road vehicles. However, these conclusions are based just on tests performed on a selection of road segments using a few vehicles and this may not be representative of real conditions. That leaves uncertainty in the topic and it does not allow road mangers to review the current road maintenance strategies that could otherwise help in reducing costs and greenhouse gas emissions from the road transport industry. The project investigated an alternative approach that considers large quantities of data from standard sensors installed on trucks combined with information in the database of road agencies that includes measurements of the conditions of the road network. In particular, using advanced regression techniques, a fuel consumption model that can take into consideration these effects has been developed. The paper presents a summary of the findings of the project, it highlights implications for road asset management and the road maintenance strategies and discusses advantages and limitations of the approach used, pointing out possible improvements and future work.

A 100-word narrative abstract. Keep short and concise, this text will be used on the registration landing page and the invitation email.
How can countries reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the transport sector? The shift to a future compatible with the targets of the Paris agreement will require effective policies to address this sore spot of climate policy. This webinar will discuss the characteristics of the transport sector and present two successful examples of national transport policy instruments: The Norwegian policy mix to incentivize e-mobility adoption and the French Bonus Malus system. The policy instruments were analysed as part of the project Bridging European and Local Climate Action (BEACON) sponsored by the German Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU).
Developing an index of vulnerability to motor fuel price increases in England...(t)ERES research project
As the outlook for oil prices remains uncertain, this paper develops a method to assess which areas of England would be most vulnerable to future motor fuel price increases. Building on previous research, we define and operationalise three dimensions of vulnerability: exposure (the cost burden of motor fuel), sensitivity (income) and adaptive capacity (accessibility with modes alternative to the car). We exploit unique data sets available in England, including the ‘MOT’ vehicle inspection data and DfT Accessibility Statistics. This allows us to map vulnerability to fuel price increases at a spatially disaggregated level (Lower-layer Super Output Areas), taking into account motor-fuel expenditure for all travel purposes, and the ability of households to shift to other modes of travel. This is an advancement on the ‘oil vulnerability’ indices developed in previous international research.

Empowering the Unbanked: The Vital Role of NBFCs in Promoting Financial Inclu...Vighnesh Shashtri
In India, financial inclusion remains a critical challenge, with a significant portion of the population still unbanked. Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) have emerged as key players in bridging this gap by providing financial services to those often overlooked by traditional banking institutions. This article delves into how NBFCs are fostering financial inclusion and empowering the unbanked.

Financial Assets: Debit vs Equity Securities.pptxWrito-Finance
financial assets represent claim for future benefit or cash. Financial assets are formed by establishing contracts between participants. These financial assets are used for collection of huge amounts of money for business purposes.
Two major Types: Debt Securities and Equity Securities.
Debt Securities are Also known as fixed-income securities or instruments. The type of assets is formed by establishing contracts between investor and issuer of the asset.
• The first type of Debit securities is BONDS. Bonds are issued by corporations and government (both local and national government).
• The second important type of Debit security is NOTES. Apart from similarities associated with notes and bonds, notes have shorter term maturity.
• The 3rd important type of Debit security is TRESURY BILLS. These securities have short-term ranging from three months, six months, and one year. Issuer of such securities are governments.
• Above discussed debit securities are mostly issued by governments and corporations. CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSITS CDs are issued by Banks and Financial Institutions. Risk factor associated with CDs gets reduced when issued by reputable institutions or Banks.
Following are the risk attached with debt securities: Credit risk, interest rate risk and currency risk
There are no fixed maturity dates in such securities, and asset’s value is determined by company’s performance. There are two major types of equity securities: common stock and preferred stock.
Common Stock: These are simple equity securities and bear no complexities which the preferred stock bears. Holders of such securities or instrument have the voting rights when it comes to select the company’s board of director or the business decisions to be made.
Preferred Stock: Preferred stocks are sometime referred to as hybrid securities, because it contains elements of both debit security and equity security. Preferred stock confers ownership rights to security holder that is why it is equity instrument
<a href="https://www.writofinance.com/equity-securities-features-types-risk/" >Equity securities </a> as a whole is used for capital funding for companies. Companies have multiple expenses to cover. Potential growth of company is required in competitive market. So, these securities are used for capital generation, and then uses it for company’s growth.
Concluding remarks
Both are employed in business. Businesses are often established through debit securities, then what is the need for equity securities. Companies have to cover multiple expenses and expansion of business. They can also use equity instruments for repayment of debits. So, there are multiple uses for securities. As an investor, you need tools for analysis. Investment decisions are made by carefully analyzing the market. For better analysis of the stock market, investors often employ financial analysis of companies.
Exploring Abhay Bhutada’s Views After Poonawalla Fincorp’s Collaboration With...beulahfernandes8
The financial landscape in India has witnessed a significant development with the recent collaboration between Poonawalla Fincorp and IndusInd Bank.
The launch of the co-branded credit card, the IndusInd Bank Poonawalla Fincorp eLITE RuPay Platinum Credit Card, marks a major milestone for both entities.
This strategic move aims to redefine and elevate the banking experience for customers.
Currently pi network is not tradable on binance or any other exchange because we are still in the enclosed mainnet.
Right now the only way to sell pi coins is by trading with a verified merchant.
What is a pi merchant?
A pi merchant is someone verified by pi network team and allowed to barter pi coins for goods and services.
Since pi network is not doing any pre-sale The only way exchanges like binance/huobi or crypto whales can get pi is by buying from miners. And a merchant stands in between the exchanges and the miners.

2015.11.03 HGV road user charging policy in Europe
1. HGV road user charging policy in Europe:
Implications for Irish freight transport stakeholders
Dr Amaya Vega and Dr. Natasha Evers
SEMRU, Whitaker Institute
NUI Galway
AVIVA Stadium, November 3rd, 2015
THE NATIONAL SUSTAINABILITY SUMMIT 2015
This research is funded through the Beaufort Marine Research Award, with the support
of the Marine Institute and the Irish Maritime Development Office (IMDO)
3. EU sustainable freight transport
policy - Member States (MS)
required to implement measures for
internalising or reducing
transport externalities
EU directives for HGV road user
charges have played a central role
in European transport policy.
Road charging for the private car
has been left as a matter for the
Member Sates
BACKGROUND
4. Eurovignette Directive (1999/62/EC as amended by
2006/38/EC and 2011/76) sets out the common regulatory
framework setting up HGV distance-based road charges
and HGV time-based road charges (vignettes) for the use
of certain infrastructure.
2011/76 EU Directive
integrated elements aimed at
better reflecting the ‘polluter
pays’ principle
EU POLICY DEVELOPMENTS
5. No MS has started internalising external costs - an
increasing number of Member States use a form of HGV
road user charging
Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxemburg
(shared ‘Eurovignette’). Belgium starting new national distance-
based system in April 2016.
April 2014 - UK government introduced a HGV road
user charge. Time-based charge of up to £1,000 a year
or £10 a day and will apply to lorries weighing more than
12 tonnes using UK roads.
Potential impact? Will Ireland’s future economic
recovery be challenged?
RATIONALE FOR THE STUDY
6. IRELAND’S GEOGRAPHY AND PERIPHERALITY: HISTORICAL
TRADE DEPENDENCY ON UK
Ireland’s trade dependency on the UK
land bridge goes beyond the bilateral
movement of goods.
Approximately 90% of total ro/ro freight
movements with Continental Europe
use the British Land Bridge network
(Trant and Riordan, 2011)
HGV section of the haulage sector (>10
tonnes) accounts for 20.7% of registered
vehicles, but it is responsible for 88.5%
of total activity in terms of tonne/km
(CSO, 2015)
7. • To explore the potential
implications of the 2014 UK HGV
road user charge for Irish
transport stakeholders
OBJECTIVE
8. McKinnon (2006) - Initial proposals for the introduction of a HGV road user
charging scheme in 2002. Sui and Liwei (2012) for a more recent analysis.
Potential damaging effects that a HGV pricing reform could have on the
economy of peripheral regions - TIPMAC (Kohler et al., 2003; 2008) and
IASON (Tavasszi, 2004)
Gutierrez et al. (2013) - potential disadvantages of the ‘Eurovignette’ system
across Europe with regard to direct revenue transfers between European
countries.
Geographical location: key factor in determining whether the net balance of toll payments
was positive or negative, with peripheral countries presenting negative balances.
The empirical literature on the impacts of road pricing is extensive -
congestion, mobility, carbon emissions, equity or accessibility. Hensher and
Puckett (2008) used experimental design techniques to investigate the role
of distance-based charges
CURRENT RESEARCH TO DATE
10. • Exploratory Study led to Qualitative Data Collection Methods
• Objective is not to generalise but to acquire qualitative insights and
perspectives into the issue, which a survey would not.
• Secondary Data collection
• Primary Data collection:
– Semi-structured, in-depth interviews were then conducted with
Irish transport stakeholder categories of Irish road hauliers,
Irish freight forwarders, Irish-based exporters and industry
associations.
• Interviews lasted 60-90 minutes - recorded and transcribed
verbatim. The interviews were framed around a series of questions
relating to the topics underpinning our research inquiry.
QUALITATIVE DATA METHODS
12. CONTROL OF THE LOGISTICS CHAIN
SCALE OF BUSINESS
LEVEL OF AWARENESS
FINDINGS
To identify the main decision-maker in intermodal
transport choices of Irish export goods.
13. Findings confirm that a disproportionate
cost impact exists on Irish hauliers.
Caused by the relatively low bargaining
power of hauliers to push the road charge
on to freight forwarders and exporters.
The nature of the Irish haulage sector is
that of quasi-perfect competition market
IMPLICATION 1: COST BURDEN
14. Irish hauliers still operate in the Republic of
Ireland, but avoid paying the road charge.
This action will result in the long-term decline of
Ireland’s indigenous haulage industry. ‘If it is not
sorted in two months, I am moving to UK’
(haulier)
Serious concern for Irish Tax authorities given
the potential loss of revenue.
Increase of the cost of commercial transport
services to/from peripheral rural areas.
IMPLICATION 2: POTENTIAL EXODUS OF ROI
HAULIERS TO UK HGV REGISTRATION
15. Alternative route/modes to access mainland Europe were limited -
‘The UK land bridge is not that you decide to use it, it is that you
have to use it because there is no other option. It is too long a
distance otherwise’. ‘Yes, it would be great to have a direct service,
but you have to have the traffic first’ (Freight forwarders industry
representative).
Modal shift towards alternative transport modes from Ireland to
Europe, in particular Short Sea Shipping (SSS). ‘Short-sea shipping
is by far the cheapest mode …you wonder why companies go by
road to Belgium via UK’, (large Freight Forwarder).
IMPLICATION 3: ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORT MODES NEED
TO BE EXPLORED…
16. IMPLICATION 4: IRISH GOVERNMENT RESPONSE :
FORTHCOMING HGV MOTOR TAX REDUCTION 2016
• The general unsuitability of the Irish motor tax system
has seen as one of the main barriers to the introduction
of a fair HGV road charge system – ‘There is double
taxation for Irish hauliers (…) they are paying motor tax
here, they are also paying the vignette in Belgium’ (small
haulier).
• While there is no apparent opposition to the UK road
charge and its rationale is well accepted, the solution
relies on the response from the Irish government Ireland
to mitigate the impact on the medium sized haulier.
17. IMPLICATION 5 : OUR EXPORTS
GEOGRAPHICALLY AND PERIPHERALLY DISTANCE TO
THEIR MARKETS
Any EU HGV road charging system will have a
economically detrimental effect on Ireland, relative to
other more EU core economies.
Ireland’s geopolitical relationship with the UK as a
mechanism to deal with the recently introduced HGV
road charge – ‘we are neighbours, not foreigners’ (large
haulier)
Disadvantages associated with Ireland’s peripheral
geographic location affect all stakeholder groups in
similar way, namely through increased transport costs.
19. CONCLUSIONS
• DO MEMBER STATE TRANSPORT POLICIES INTEGRATE PRINCIPLE OF
SUSTAINABILITY?
• ARE MEMBER STATES IMPLEMENTING DIRECTIVE 2011 IN A WAY THAT TAKES
ACCOUNT OF THE ECONOMIC BALANCE BETWEEN INTERNALISING AND
EXTERNALISING TRANSPORT COSTS?
• ROI GOVERNMENT INITIAL POLICY RESPONSE TO IMPLICATIONS OF MS ROAD
CHARGE INCREASES - MOTOR VEHICLE TAX REDUCTION 2016.
THE LIKELY IMPACT OF THE UK HGV ROAD USER CHARGE IS GREATER IN THE CASE
OF IRELAND BECAUSE OF ITS PERIPHERAL GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION AND LIMITED
NUMBER OF TRANSPORT MODE ALTERNATIVES TO CONNECT WITH THE MAIN
EUROPEAN MARKETS.
DISCREPENCY BETWEEN THE TRANSPORT MODE DECISION-MAKER AND WHO PAYS
THE CHARGES.
