Sustainability and Efficiency by Digitalisation of Road Transport The Future of Mobility Sustainability and Efficiency by Digitalisation of Road Transport Changer photo pour “Green Mobility – Future City” Dr.-Ing. Stephan Neugebauer, ERTRAC Chairman European Parliament, Brussels, 30. Mai 2017
Road Transport is fundamental for societal and economic life Automotive Industry is the backbone of European economy: 12 Million jobs, up to € 50 billion annual investments in Research and Innovation 28/02/2019
DECARBONISATION + DIGITALISATION Road Transport / Automotive Industry is faced with fundamental challenges 28/02/2019
If we keep today’s technology (2015), road transport CO2 will be ~4x greater than the 2050 requirement due to the increased demand There is a need to significantly reduce transportation CO2 whilst demand is forecast to increase To reach the overall European CO2 targets for transport, a system approach is needed
System approach SYSTEM APPROACH: Better vehicle Better infrastructure Improved logistics Decarbonised energy / fuels System approach Intelligent traffic management Public transport and intermodality Efficient vehicles Infrastructure for connected & automated vehicles Flexible and shared mobility services SYSTEM APPROACH: Better vehicle Powertrains efficiency, electrification, … Better Traffic conditions Better traffic flow, no congestion, … Less traffic intermodality, improved logistics (30% of trucks today are empty), …
Future Propulsion Systems ELECTRIC 100% Pure ELECTRIC vehicles (car, bus, van) Guaranteed electric mode in urban areas! (by digitalisation) Plug-in-HYBRID (PHEV) (car, coaches, trucks) Plug in HYBRID Advanced COMBUSTION 100% Advanced COMBUSTION Engine (renewable fuels and gas, …) Trucks Urban Extra urban 28/02/2019
INTELLIGENT ACCESS REGULATIONS Digitalisation of Road Transport FLUIDITY OF TRAFFIC TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT INTEGRATED LOGISTICS INTELLIGENT ACCESS REGULATIONS SHARED MOBILITY INTERMODALITY Digitalisation is an enabler for these innovations / solutions Digitalisation of Road Transport is more than “Automated Driving”

Digitalisation requires enormous investments and creates jobs Vehicle: Sensors and Software Infrastructure: Road equipment Telecommunication: Roll out of 5G network Data platforms: Handling big data Software for traffic management, logistic, intermodality, … New data based services for users 28/02/2019
Secured interface with vehicle Access only through backend solutions Ensure privacy and security ERTRAC: Clusters for data of connected & automated vehicles Connected or automated vehicles generate or need electronic data. In a first draft these data can be classified into 4 categories: SECURITY: Secured interface with vehicle Access only through backend solutions (responsible for safety/security of vehicle) “Complete Public Data” like emergency warnings to be shared at once with everybody 2. “Anonymised Data” which are of public or multi-brand interest e.g. for traffic prediction to be shared in anonymised format based on agreements 3. “Released Data” which are primarily private/commercial but the driver or/and the vehicle owner/fleet provider has agreed the data sharing 4. “Strictly Private Data” with no permission of the driver or/and the vehicle owner/fleet provider to be shared 28/02/2019
Digital connection between energy and automotive sector Digital charging management of electric vehicles Integration of BEV into the grid 28/02/2019
Digitalization of road transport requires enormous research activities: Need for publicly funded collaborative research, precompetitive research programs on national and European level PPP as appropriate organization: all different stakeholders + public authorities on board: Universities Research organizations Automotive Industry (OEM + Suppliers) Public authorities 28/02/2019
