WELCOME ... your journey starts here About this journey Welcome to this, our introduction to the OEVC Consortium.

We invite you to embark on a brief journey through this document, by navigating through the various sections using the button headings at the bottom of each page.

This main document will give you a general insight into our views and aspirations, and where you see these signs ...

“Why are we doing this?”

To explain the pollution and congestion reasons for e-mobility, and encourage like-minded organisations to join us on the Journey.

We want to make Oxford an exemplar city by building upon the good work already done by developing new business cases for e-mobility.

THE JOURNEY ( SO FAR )

The inaugural meeting of the Oxfordshire Electric Vehicle Consortium (OEVC) was held in Oxford on 4th October 2010, which was a major staging post in the journey towards a cleaner future in Oxfordshire.

This event attracted more than 60 local and international organisations from the business, government and academic sectors and led to a bid for charging infrastructure funding to the Department of Transport’s Office for Low Emission Vehicles.

The founding partners – Oxford Brookes University, Oxfordshire County Council and Oxford City Council are committed to build on this momentum and deliver our vision for Oxfordshire to become ‘An exemplar region for improved air quality through establishing a self-sustaining market for all types of Electric Vehicles and other Low Carbon mobility solutions’. click to see PowerPoint

The inaugural meeting of OEVC identified a significant number of innovative e-mobility & e-infrastructure projects and the priorities were incorporated into the Oxfordshire Blue Plugged-In Places bid in November 2010. Although funding wasn’t awarded to Oxfordshire on this occasion, these projects continue to be developed by private enterprise, the councils and Oxford Brookes University. The aim of this document is to continue and sustain the dialogue with all those who attended the meeting and to introduce new recruits to the cause of achieving our low carbon vision for Oxfordshire.

The bmw MINI E PROJECT The MINI E is a fully electric vehicle operating in key potential electric vehicle markets globally. During everyday usage, the MINI E can travel around 100-120 miles (up to 156 miles in ideal conditions) on a single charge, depending on driving style and conditions, and of course, has the all the characteristic performance for which the MINI is famous. It can sprint from 0-62mph in just 8.5 seconds and has an electronically-limited top speed of 95mph.

The MINI E UK Field Trial researched and analysed the use of 40 MINI Es on UK roads between December 2009 and March 2011.

The MINI E UK Research Consortium, of which BMW Group was the lead partner, comprised several organisations based around Oxford and the South-East of England. All played important roles in the collaborative field trial. In addition to the BMW Group, the consortium included Scottish and Southern Energy, which supplied both the electricity and the electrical infrastructure, Oxford Brookes University and the South East England Development Agency (SEEDA) as well as Oxford City Council and Oxfordshire County Council. The MINI E UK trial was one of the first of the Technology Strategy Board’s Ultra Low Carbon Vehicle Demonstrator Programmes.

MINI E PROJECT

During the UK trial the MINI E was tested on British roads by a mixture of around 100 private, corporate and public sector drivers – all of whom gave valuable feedback to the project consortium and UK Government. Between them they covered in excess of 250,000 miles over the duration of the trial.

The findings are being used in the engineering and infrastructure support of mass-produced electric vehicles and have helped to establish the social and economic issues and aspects of running an electric car.

E-MOBILITY ACCELERaTOR project The overall aim of the E-mobility accelerator project is to define common strategy and policy recommendations to accelerate successful market implementation of electric vehicles in the participating regions.

To achieve this goal, the project has four sub-goals: SUCCESS FACTORS Identification of common key success factors to move beyond pilot projects towards market implementation.

SHARED dEVELOPMENT Shared development of sustainable regional business cases for market implementation, based on these factors.

RECOMMENDATIONS Regional and international policy and strategy recommendations based on these business cases.

DISSEMINATION

Dissemination of these recommendations to policy makers and to actors from the automotive industry.

The project will follow an ‘hour glass’ structure - shared, local, shared.

The partners start with sharing the status quo of their region, followed by jointly building new knowledge and expertise through field trips and a study to fill common knowledge gaps.

The partners will then work on business cases.

The project partnership has opted for a regional approach for the development of the business cases.

The regions will make use of the knowledge transferred and gained within the project and will use this knowledge to build business cases fitting the regional circumstances.

The regional business cases will be used as input for the development of regional and European policy recommendations.

THE JOURNEY ( SO FAR )

The consensus within the scientific community confirms that excessive greenhouse gas emissions, caused by the day-to-day activities of human beings, has led to global warming with the resultant effects on climate change. Furthermore, without concerted action by the world’s peoples and governments, it is clear that the problems caused by global warming and increasing levels of noxious gas emissions will cause further damage to the environment and human health.

The city of Oxford and surrounding area suffers from road congestion and poor air quality. With a highly valued built environment, a young and intelligent population profile and large numbers of students and visitors there are compelling reasons to take action. The Oxfordshire EV Consortium’s vision is to become an exemplar region for improved air quality. The path of least resistance to this vision is to work together with the business community, the universities, schools and colleges, the public sector and local and national government to establish a self-sustaining low carbon economy and community.

Global technological developments and legislation are providing new opportunities to change our habits and behaviours in terms of living and mobility. OEVC is committed to work and share knowledge with all parties interested in contributing towards the achievement of our vision, particularly in the field of mobility and sustainable transport. The motor car is still the preferred mode of transport for the vast majority of the population and Oxfordshire has a major interest in the continued successful development of the automotive sector in terms of economic benefit as well as mobility.
