“Alternative
power trains
as a genuine
option”
Background: clustering alternative power trains
Start-stop technology as the lowest level of hybridization
Mild Hybrid cars
Electric energy, produced continuously or when decelerating, is stored in a battery pack
exceeding those of a start-stop techniques
Parallel hybrid cars
Most widely know and widespread cars (e.g. Toyota Prius Hybrid since 1997)
All electric mode at start-up, low speed traffic jams and when manoeuvring
Plug-in hybrid cars (PHEV)
Equipped with batteries of a greater capacity being charged on an electrical network
Enabling the usage on a daily basis also for long distances
Range Extenders (REEV)
Small fuel engine to reload batteries with a generator used as a range extender to enable longterm distances
All-electric vehicles (BEV)
Stand alone battery electric vehicles which run solely on electricity
Petrol engine
Combining a micro-hybrid with the recovery of energy when breaking
Engine coupled with an electric motor, which powers the vehicle as well on a stand-alone basis
for short distances
Extended EV policy
CNG
Reversible system acting as starter and alternator on a traditional car
Diesel engine
Part of the standard car
policy
Micro-hybrid cars

Definition:
Urban => suburb and city center travel
Non-urban => travel within regions
Highway => long highway journeys
Fleet match: Are your drivers ready for alternative power trains
• Approach of analysis
Driver survey
• Purpose
Identification of individual car usage patterns
Basis for comparison to EV requirements and technological constraints
• Key topics addressed in questionnaire
Eligibility as tool or benefit car
User profile & mileage patterns
Vehicle segmentation fit
Vehicle preference
Charging facility
Smart phone usage
Example of fleet match: Are your drivers ready for alternative power trains
=> Match of range patterns compared to segmentations patterns as subject of analysis

Challenge 3: Implementation
Province “Vlaams-Brabant” and Voka project: Objectives
• 20 fleet scans for alternative power trains
To provide input to companies on potential for EV, hybrid and CNG based on 3 way approach
To gather information on potential for alternative power trains for small, medium sized and big
companies in order to:
Get insights in potential
Define needed actions to reach potential
Use results to inform and provoke change
2 more scans are available (for free) for 100+ vehicle companies
