Visions for the future of mobility Marko Jivcovici Elisabeth Korak Bettina Veigl
Passenger traffic… • Actual situation • 6,09 millions of motor vehicles were admitted to traffic in 2010 • 72,9% of these were passenger cars • This means a (nearly) 50% increase since 1990 • 2,45 millions of the passenger cars were operated with diesel engines in the year 2010
Passenger traffic… • Influencing factors • Development of the economy: GDP-growth or GDP decrease? • Changes in the society: Population increase or decrease? • Development of the traffic policy, environmental policy and infrastructure • Technology and innovations • Changes in the working situation
Passenger traffic… • Influencing factors • Future „way of life“ • Future „values“ • Mobilty services and future offer of different means of traffic
Passenger traffic… • „Breaking-the-trend-factors“ • Verylonglastingeconomic boom • Deepdepressions in theeconomiesof different countries • Wars in oil-producing countries • Oilscarcity • Suddentechnicalinnovations in themobilitysector • New transportinfrastructure • Increasingof extreme (wheater) situations • Terrorism
Passenger traffic – futuremobility… • E-mobility in Austria • Oneofthemostimportantfuturemobilityconcepts • Federal Environment Agency of Austria: undercertainconditions 74% oftheentirecar stock in Austria canconsistofelectricallypoweredvehiclesandplug-in hybrid cars in theyear 2050 • E-mobilityregions: Vorarlberg, Salzburg, Vienna, Eisenstadt and Graz
Passenger traffic – futuremobility… • E-mobility in Austria • Different projects:
Passenger traffic – futuremobility… • Light weight technology in Austria • Also one of the most important future mobility concepts according to the Austrian Institute of Technology • Different components of the cars should be replaced with „lighter“ metals • Would reduce the overall weight and hence reduce the carbon dioxide emissions
Passenger traffic – futuremobility… • Light weight technology in Austria • „MILA Family“ – Magna Steyr: MILA Aerolight • Operated with natural gas (CNG-drive) • Materials from aeronautic sector are used • 700 kg • Produces less than 55g/km of carbon dioxide emissions
