And what we do Development and exploitation of new energy concepts for niche markets Sustainable energy solutions Today’s examples include: (1)Charging infrastructure electricity (auto mobility/maritime power) (2)Turn-key fulfillment services (also billing, customer care) Development and exploitation of new energy concepts for niche markets Sustainable energy solutions Today’s examples include: (1)Charging infrastructure electricity (auto mobility/maritime power) (2)Turn-key fulfillment services (also billing, customer care)
and How we did so far

Pretty cool, but where is the business case?
Strong Political Drivers Political aim is twofold: –to improve the local air quality, by lowering output of CO2, NOx and fine dust locally –to decrease noise pollution city areas Rotterdam joined the Clinton Climate Initiative In % reduction of CO2 output (against 1990) Rotterdam as ‘World Capital of CO2-free energy’
Aha..Politics! And what’s in it for the shippers? Aha..Politics! And what’s in it for the shippers?
How shippers benefit No more hassle with power generators Less annoyance from own and/or neighbor's noise Benefits to their ‘green’ image, enable shippers to contribute to improvement of local air quality Transparency in actual energy consumption, and corresponding costs Economic attractive (depending on local circumstances)
How ports and marina’s benefit Less pollution locally Strong reduction of noise and smell Better use of available quays near city centers Can be combined with collection of port charges
Of course we care about aesthetics too

Different views on energy usage is inevitable
New ways of thinking Lead to new ways of driving
Italy is taking the lead In Italy EVs are exempt from taxes and have a substantial insurance fee reduction. In most cities the trash collection is performed by EV trucks. Rome city centre is restricted for internal combustion engines enabling the use of electric vehicles (small transporters and buses).
