Opportunities in Low Emission Technologies: The Vehicle Emission Toolkit for Electrification
This toolkit provides a comprehensive guide on low emission technologies focusing on the electrification of transport. Addressing the King Review's 'Window of Opportunity' from 2020 to 2040, it explores the deployment of zero-emission vehicles (ZEV) and hybrid technologies, detailing various alternatives like electric vehicles, hydrogen fuel cells, and natural gas. With user-friendly information sheets, the toolkit helps fleet managers assess the benefits and costs of these technologies to improve air quality and reduce CO2 emissions through innovative solutions.

Low Emission Technologies Vehicle Emission Toolkit May 2009
Deployment Opportunity defined by King Review focus on electrification of transport opportunity Achieved by EV or hydrogen
“Window of Opportunity” inherent to King Review proposition (2020-2040 window) 5% car sales ZEV\PZEV 80% car sales ZEV\PZEV
Low carbon technology guide • User friendly, informative guide for alternative fuel options • Hybrids • Electric vehicles • Natural gas/biogas • Hydrogen • Conventional engine
Combination of 2 power sources e.g. Petrol combustion & electric 3 types of hybrid: Parallel Series Series parallel Plug in hybrids give extended range on electric mode Hybrids
Hybrid vehicles (Plug in hybrid)
Electric vehicles • Cenex electric vehicle trials: • Smart • Misubishi MiEV • Reva G-Wiz • Can be charged from most household plugs • Zero tailpipe emissions
Natural gas/biomethane • Biomethane can be produced from anaerobically digested organic waste • Natural gas available as a fossil fuel
Hydrogen & fuel cells • Can be used in ICE as a gaseous fuel • Can be used in a fuel cell to generate electricity • FC tailpipe emissions are only water
Hydrogen vehicles • Hydrogen project • Hydrogen ICE Transit van • Fuel cell vehicle (microcab)
Vehicle Emission Toolkit • Builds on low emission vehicle demonstration & • deployment projects in UK • Explain how new technology works and timelines for • market readiness • Create a fleet managers toolkit looking at emission • benefits of technology options – NO2, PM10, CO2 • Assess fully allocated costs of options eg damage costs • Project partners include Greenwich, City, Hillingdon, • Wigan, Leeds, Sheffield, Cenex • Defra AQ Grant Funding application • Scoping, data gathering and reporting • Toolkit dissemination end 2009
