AND COULD INCREASE TO 3.87 BILLION BY 2050
5. TO COMPLY WITH A <2DS, THE TRANSPORT SECTOR
MUST BE COMPLETELY DECARBONIZED BY 2060

OF THE POPULATION, AND THEY ARE GENERATING AN IMPORTANT

Notes de l'éditeur
A 2DS would require decarbonization by 2100
The transport sector represents 23% of CO2 emissions from fuel combustión around the world, however this figure is 27% for Africa and 36% for LAC, where car ownership is still low.
Buses generan más emisiones a pesar de haber menos cantidad
Las flotas de buses normalmente ya están sujetas a regulación por los gobiernos locales
Es más fácil lidiar con pocos interlocutors (operadores)
Geographical distribution of cities with hybrid and electric buses – US, Europe, East Asia
3 main barriers for implementation, however innovation to overcome these barriers has happened around the world.
Barrier 1: Innovative business models
Barrier 2: deeper involvement of manufacturers
Barrier 3: Technology is more of a perceived barrier, since there are already cities that have tested extensively these technologies (10+ years).
Para tratar de identificar las tendencias a nivel mundial y las posibles barreras que otras ciudades han enfrentado en estas implementaciones, hicimos una investigación extensiva de casos reales a nivel mundial.
Quisimos tener una distribución global y de diferentes tecnologías, para asegurarnos de encontrar casos que fueran relevantes para América Latina.
Los criterios principales para escoger estas ciudades fueron:
El tamaño de la flota
Los mecanismos innovadores de implementación (financiamiento, fuentes de recursos)
Distribución geográfica.
Manufacturers assuming new responsibilities
Tranining for operators and longer maintenance contracts.
Providing financing
Offering complete solution packages that include charging infrastructure.
Electricity companies providing:
Long-term electricity price stability and lower prices (i.e. bulk discounts) - Foothill
Paying for charging infrastructure
Providing other ways of paying for the most expensive assets (e.g. buses, batteries, charging infrastructure) such as by leasing them e.g. Shenzen, USA
Reducing the cost of financing by providing guarantees and concessional loans e.g. Bogotá
Longer depreciation periods to pay for additional costs e.g. Brazil
Opportunity Charging: Tianjin
Tianjin battery electric buses are recharged via charging stations placed along their route, which allows operators to keep buses running without pulling them into a depot at a separate location.
Inductive Charging/Top-up: Torino
Torino uses techniques deigned by Conductix-Wampfler, using underground charging pads to connect wirelessly to coils below the buses.
By recharging the buses throughout their routes (topping up), operators are able to keep batteries close to 100% charged, using smaller batteries that are lighter and less expensive.
Battery Swapping: Rome
Rome electric minibuses have the ideal size and mobility to function in the city center where streets are small. The bus operator ATAC found that with the smaller batteries buses had sufficient range to run a full route, and it was more economical to swap old batteries at the bus depot after service, than to install charging infrastructure.
Providing grants to pay for additional investment costs
One-time payments
Throughout the life of the asset
e.g. USA, London
Tax incentives
Corporation tax
Import duties
VAT
e.g. Bogotá
