BID Scotland Meeting
9th June 2016
EST were set up by UK Government in 1992 following the Rio Earth Summit as an arms’ length not-for-profit agency to support the delivery of government policy.
Our focus is on delivering against key Scottish Government policy areas:
Housing, regeneration and welfare
Energy and climate change
And transport for Transport Scotland
Our work on transport in Scotland is grant funded by Transport Scotland
Prior to the introduction of European energy efficiency labeling for appliances, your first encounter with EST may have been buying an appliance and seeing the EST certification mark.
What does this have to do with air quality?
The emission standards for non-road mobile machinery differ from those which cover the engines of road vehicles
Unmodified, a single Stage IIIA Excavator, such as the one pictured, produces particulates equivalent to 15 Euro 4 buses
Clearly something to keep in mind in the context of construction work in Scotland’s towns and cities
London has a 'Low Emission Zone' for non-road mobile machinery and this typically means that there is a requirement for retrofit technology to ensure that plant machinery meets Low Emission Zone (LEZ) engine emission standards as set out by the GLA
Energy Saving Trust endorses energy efficient products that have met industry agreed standards for energy performance, helping consumers and supply chain professionals to identify products that meet their needs.
Here you can see the updated EST product endorsement logo.
And in the case of retrofit technology to ensure that plant machinery meets Low Emission Zone (LEZ) engine emission standards we certify and endorse installers such as these.
And aftermarket emission reduction systems such as these.
Another thing we are involved in, but less well known for in Scotland is research
AN example of this is the Stakeholder Interactive City Energy Demand Simulator’ (SiCEDS):
SiCEDS modelled the impact of energy technology interventions on PPM and NOX at km grid squares out to 2050 (5 year intervals)
Users will be able to define their own scenarios and see air quality impacts alongside demand, supply, emissions, infrastructure, cost and fuel poverty.

We also helped to developed Defra’s ‘Assessing the wider impacts of air quality policy’ model as part of a consortium with Amec
Model looks at potential impacts of air quality policy including congestion, safety, noise, modal shift, walking and cycling, greenhouse gas emissions, affordability for businesses, affordability for individuals and employment
Moving on to slightly more familiar territory…
In 2011 EST worked with The Climate Group to publish the first detailed report on the viability of deploying electric vehicles in fleets (Plugged-in Fleets)
Between 2012 and 2015 we helped over 150 organisations to understand where and how to integrate plug in vehicles into their fleets through the Plugged in Fleet initiative
In 2014 EST worked with OLEV to facilitate the uptake of ULEVs within Central Government and wider public sector fleets, which saw us working with 50 fleets in total and identifying approximately 330 vehicles which could be replaced with plug-in vehicles
Building on the Plugged-in Fleets, Incentives for Cleaner Vehicles for Urban Europe (I-CVUE) is a Intelligent Energy Europe funded project that aims to reduce CO2-emissions in urban environments by increasing the number of EV's in large fleets in urban areas.
This involves implementing fleet mentoring and analysis for large urban pan-European fleets to make the business case for plug in vehicles. We will take fleets on the journey from making a business case based on their real life vehicle needs and whole life costs, through to implementation of the plug in vehicles onto the road.
Market Potential Supported By Predictive Tools
We also develop a lot of feasibility studies looking at the rollout of electric vehicles and EV charging infrastructure:
Feasibility work for TfL on the electrification of taxi and private hire vehicles across London involving operators, vehicle manufacturers, chargepoint manufacturers and installers, and UK Power Networks
Feasibility work for TfL on charging infrastructure to support the electrification of commercial vehicles in London – Paneltex converted 7.5t ISUZU trucks. 96kWh lithium Ion battery (range of around 120 miles). 9kW charger provides a full from-flat charge in 10 1/2 hours.
Stage one: Heathrow fleet and third party airside fleets
Stage two: staff, passengers, landside suppliers, public transport
Present day ULEV use: fleet analysis and telematics analysis
Future ULEV use: vehicle profiling / vehicle readiness assessment
ULEV chargepoint forecasting: Combined fleet and telematics analysis to establish operations-based vehicle charging requirement
8 of the shortlists potential winning schemes received study conducted by EST to determine: the required level of funding, location and number of charge points needed, and the perceptions of drivers and operators towards ULEVs and covered 8 local authorities:
Birmingham City Council
Cambridge City Council
Coventry City Council
Dundee City Council
Nottingham City Council
Oxford City Council
Sheffield City Council
West Yorkshire Combined Authority
Fleet analysis of hackney carriage and private hire
Semi-structured interview sessions with TPH stakeholders
Hackney carriage drivers’ survey
Data analysis involving: ULEV adoption calculator, charge point calculator and air quality impact calculator
Propose charge point locations
Calculate funding requirements
Extrapolating this data to look at Scotland’s taxi and private hire fleets we can see that, without providing advice and support to engage with and persuade operators of the benefits of EVs, existing attitudes suggest that we could potentially replace…
Returning to Scotland…
As part of the Transport Scotland Switched on Fleets programme we worked with Scotland’s Community Planning Partnerships during 2014-15 and 2015-16 to provide CPP members with a tailored reports to identify where EVs would fit within public sector fleets, leading to the procurement around 250 electric vehicles
With regards fleet operators more generally, we provide Transport Scotland funded loans, grants and training supported by local expert transport advice.
Our local transport advisors provide fleet operators with Sustainable Transport Reviews and Green Fleet Reviews identifying significant cost and emission savings
And we provide bespoke transport advice to over 400 organisations a year
You can phone 08000 931 669 to speak to your local transport advisor
Since 2011 EST has provided over 150 Transport Scotland funded loans for electric or plug in hybrid vehicles and this scheme grows in popularity year on year.
This year we have a £7.8M loan fund and we are on course to fully allocate this funding.
Over 13,000 drivers and over 350 organizations trained in Scotland.
Savings of up to £229 a year on fuel
Approximately 40,000 consumers given advice to reduce carbon emissions
Encouraging walking, cycling and public transport use as an alternative to private car use, and more efficient car use where it is not possible to replace the car with more efficient modes of transport,
Aberdeen EV Roadshow – Saturday 17th September 2016
Almost 800 attendees and almost 200 test drives – less than 2 months ago but sales of 6 EVs or plug in hybrids and 1 hybrid vehicle and 5 charge point home installations already confirmed.
An approach like this obviously has the benefit of promoting EV sales generally, but in the future could be organised to coincide with the rollout of Urban Vehicle Access Regulation Schemes.
