Headline Electrification
Autonomous Vehicles and eMobilityCurrent pilots, strategies and programs to electrify transportation
 Momentum critically requires
 Awareness raising and incentives for consumer purchase of
passenger car EVs
 Removal of barriers to uptake
 Local measures to support uptake of high profile vehicles in
town and city centres (buses, taxis and delivery vehicles)
 UK policy challenges have been
 How to best incentivise
 How and when to transition away from grants to other policy
measures …but how soon?
 How to balance consumer needs with letting market decide
via a light approach to regulation

 Hydrogen can aid energy decarbonisation and recognition of use cases where hydrogen fuel cells
offer benefits over batteries …….but barriers to vehicle and infrastructure investment are higher
 If you want to have hydrogen as a scalable strategic option play need to maintain policy support

Conclusions
 Activities for electrification of transport are both mobility and energy related. Can split in 5 areas as follows:
 Headline
 Deep
 Extended
 Automated
 Alternative

Editor's Notes

  • #4 Some of you may already know Cenex based on either the consultancy support we provide to help fleet decarbonise Or the technology demonstration projects we work with fleets on, whether EV integration with smart charging, hydrogen mobility or shared mobility Or through our Cenex events I will focus today on what is an increasing emphasis of Cenex support activities to clients ACES meaning Automated, Connected, Electric and Shared And toward Net Zero
  • #5 In conclusion – cities don’t need to be smart to adopt ACES …..but smart city functionality will be key to overcoming city centre constraints to enable high uptake rates From a green fleet perspective when it comes to high (level 3 and 4) automation …. The early opportunities eill come from logistics and public transport where the vehicle routes can be geofenced and con

  • #11 The answer is to use managed – smart – charging to reduce peaks …. And to integrate charging with local energy system renewables ….typically solar or small scale wind generators for cities ….along with managed or bidirectional charging ….to reduce time shift charging where possible …..to move some charging out of daytime and evening peaks Where stationary battery storage is added in it is possible to bring a much higher degree of control to EV charging
