- eULTIMATE (EIT Urban Mobility) (FR), eULTIMATE (EIT Urban Mobility) (EN) | The aim of eULTIMATE was to develop a decision support system that designs the optimal charging system for a given city and quantifies the impact of the electric service on bus agencies and other stakeholders. UPC has led the eUltimate project, where datasets taken from the telemetric system of buses have been analyzed in Barcelona, Badalona, Lisbon, Decin, Zalaegerszeg and Kradec Kralove. Algorithms were developed to calculate the mean energy consumption of battery electric buses in real operation.
- This background will be used in E-MED in WP1 to develop recommendations and practical guidance for the deployment of electric bus fleets in a given route. A set of guidelines will be developed by IDIADA addressing the following planning challenges: a) the evaluation of the best eBus technology to be used in a specific bus line, (b) the identification of the best bus line to be electrified with a specific ebus technology, and (c) the evaluation of main gaps and opportunities in the PT strategy, based on the local characteristics of each site. Also, the E-MED partners TUSGSAL and CARRIS were project partners in eULTIMATE and will build upon the e-bus and charging strategy assessments that resulted from pilot activities in eULTIMATE.

The project focused on demonstrating that measures to increase the energy efficiency and share of renewables in public transport infrastructure can have a particularly high impact on reducing CO2. The project supported local authorities, public transport authorities and operators by developing planning and financing strategies and action plans, implementing pilot actions, developing tools and trainings to plan and operate low-carbon infrastructure, and by transferring knowledge and best practices on energy-efficient measures across Central European regions.
- Redmint, the City of Bergamo, the University of Maribor as well as the City of Maribor were project partners in EfficienCE and developed public transport electrification strategies and actions plans. As a successful pilot two opportunity charging stations were installed in Maribor and are in full operation. One line in served by full-electric busses now. E-MED will build upon the strategy & action plan that was developed for the multi-purpose use of public transport infrastructure, which was elaborated within EfficienCE. The City of Maribor aims to validate the strategy & action plan to further develop towards a multi-purpose use of their public transport Infrastructure.

- EBSF_2 included a comprehensive set of technological innovations and strategies to develop towards more cost-effective and energy efficient bus systems. Amongst others, these included the two areas “green driver assistance systems” and “intelligent garage and maintenance processes”. E-MED will particularly build upon these two innovation areas developing innovative tools for the eco-driving of e-buses in Maribor and in Lisbon (WP1) and a predictive maintenance algorithm (WP2) to identify the optimal tyre pressures for buses in Barcelona.
