  1. Eco-design X Transportation and vehicles

  2. Sustainable Transport • Descriptive rather than quantitative definitions. • Sustainability is often depicted as the intersection of environmental, social, and economic factors. • Household transport must: • Facilitate economic connection. • Facilitate social connection. • Promote health and safety. • Use energy efficiently and wisely. • Complement urban form and liveability. • Have low environmental impact. • Passenger transport scores highly on the last three criteria. • Cars score highly on the first two criteria, until numbers cause congestion.

  3. Other Bicycle Walk Bus Car passenger Car driver Mode to CBD versus Distance Travelled • Arrival by car changes little with distance of journey. • Clear relationship between walking and public transport (shift between 1-2 miles) • Clear relationship between cycling and public transport (shift between 3-5 miles) • No relationship between walking and cycling. • Buses viable for journeys up to 6 miles (11 km), at least

  4. A 330 mpg car for everyone • two-seater Aptera hybrid • $20,000 • 12 hp diesel engine • 25 hp electric motor • weight of only 850 lbs (386kg) • top speed of 95 mph (152 km/h) • fuel consumption is estimated to be 330 mpg (140 km/l; 0.7 l / 100km) at 65 mph • Low drag coefficient

  6. High car mass requires special details: Clutch (sidur) Transmission (gearbox) Battery Power steering (roolivõimendi) Starter Brake assist ...

  7. Nexo: The Argentinean Sustainable-Car Prototype • various pieces are repeated completely or partially • car’s body is composed 90% by plate panels • it car can be adapted into: basic (three seats), cargo (two seats and load space), multiplo (four seats), ambulance

  8. HUMMER O2 • 100-percent recyclable • maximum lifespan of just 60 months • produces pure oxygen throughout the life of the vehicle • Algae-filled body panels transform carbon dioxide into pure oxygen that is subsequently released back into the environment and inside the vehicle • Active Tread TM tyres provide low resistance on the highway and allow excellent off-road progress • uses 100-percent post-consumer materials

  10. c,mm,n car http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHaG4EYisa4 • zero-emission hydrogen engine • open-source model of development • The vehicle’s technical drawings and blueprints are freely available online, and everyone is invited to add their own ideas and modifications, provided of course that these are shared again with the community

  11. Aerorider Hybrid - Human / Electric Bicycle - hybrid - human and electric powered vehicle that can achieve 45km/h - single bucket seat supports your entire body placing you in a position to comfortably focus on pedaling - the battery charger can be plugged into a standard household outlet

  13. Suzuki PIXY • the package is comprised of the PIXY single-person pod and the SSC (Suzuki Sharing Coach) twin-pod mothership

  14. move at low speeds on footpaths and inside buildings navigate a toxic or post-nuclear world http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybWdPiCFJlc

  15. The original sustainable green 4x4, off-road 'vehicle'

  16. Quicksider- all-electric van • light fiberglass body • can easily be converted to a passenger bus • Sodium nickel chloride battery yields a 40 mile range http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2q6uORzN3aA

  17. Bombardier hybrid train enters service in France • dual-mode (electrical and diesel) and dual-voltage (1500 and 25000 V) technology • energy savings and reduced CO2 emissions http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x8ecs1_bombardier-launch-of-eco-4-technolo_news

  18. Helsingborg Biogas Bus • bio-gas (methane) production from waste and sewage • 61 biogas buses operating within the municipality

  19. Sustainable bus stop

  20. Tahe Kayaks Success: • Acetone recycling • Recycling of other materials • In the product transportation, filling the kayaks with other products • Vacuum dying to minimise loss of materials • Development of rental service Problems: • Energy consumption during processing • No FSC certificate • No eco-label or other certification (too expensive) • In-door enviornment: odors • Failure to take back products

  21. Personal Air Vehicles • Up to 45% of all miles traveled in the future may be in PAVs • Super energy efficient? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhpPhvWvLgk

  22. Modified Diamond Airplane To Run On Hydrogen Fuel Cell http://www.flitelevel.tv/episode/E-Dimona

  23. BOEING 787 DREAMLINER: A More Sustainable Aircraft • lightweight carbon-fiber for the fuselage and wings, instead of aluminum sheeting, Boeing was able to reduce the airplane’s weight • reduction of fuel consumption of almost 30% • humidity in the cabin can be much higher than before, which will provide for better passenger comfort

  24. Energy Efficient Airplane • 56.25 Miles Per Gallon - 180 Miles Per Hour • Quiet, safe, comfortable and reliable • Up to 800 mile range

  25. Solar Impulse - Photovoltaic Powered Plane • very light weight (1500 kg) • disproportionate dimensions (61 metre wingspan) • fly sufficiently slowly (45 km/h) • combined with battery power • can circumnavigate the planet • www.solarimpulse.com

  26. It is a long term project:- Feasibility study at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in 2003 • Announcement of challenge on 28 November 2003 • Development of concept in 2004-2006 • Design and manufacturing of the prototype HB-SIA in 2007-2009 • Test flights and first night flight with the prototype in 2010 • Construction of the HB-SIB airplane in 2011 • Missions of several days, crossing of the Atlantic and tentative tour of the world completing in five stages from 2012

  27. Green Airways Flying Saucer

  28. Wingless Electromagnetic Air Vehicle • yellow dashes outside the craft are electrodes for ionizing surrounding air • professor Subrata Roy plans to have a mini model ready to demonstrate his theory within the next year

  29. World’s First Biodiesel Jet! • 100% renewable biodiesel fuel • no reduction in performance compared to conventional jetfuel

  30. Car-free city plan • Fast passenger and freight transport • Transport within a five-minute walk • Nearby green space • Building heights limited to four stories • Dense construction in built-up areas
