Introduction to Cenex
 Not-for-Profit formed in 2005
 Focus on Automated Connected Electric and Shared
(ACES) and transition to Net Zero
 Help accelerate transition of technology from laboratory
to market via capturing and sharing learnings from
technology demonstration activities
 Deliver on mission through research, consultancy and
outreach

Context for electrifying transportation (UK)
 Net Zero target for GHG
emissions by 2050
 Phase out of petroldiesel –

5. 5
Review Mobility + Energy activities in 5 ways
 Headline electrification
 Deep electrification
 Extended electrification
 Automated electrification
 Alternative electrification

6. 6
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

Deep Electrification
Autonomous Vehicles and eMobilityCurrent pilots, strategies and programs to electrify transportation
 If serious about electrifying transport need to tackle the ‘hard to do’ applications
 R&D to support prototype development and test and then incentives for uptake

 Need solutions for local grid constraints and
smart charging for mass EV roll out
 Need on-street solutions
 Need charging hubs at public locations

 Automated electric vehicles require supportive legislation based on standards that
extend from vehicle verification and validation through to deployment
 Automated electric vehicles require automated
charging solutions

 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
 No one has all the answers. Progress comes through listening to and sharing ‘best of current’ and ‘what
next’ via
