European project partners EnerNETMob of electromobility, started in May 2018, are ready to launch 13 charging infrastructure pilots co-powered by renewable energy.
One of these, soon to be implemented in Bouches-du-Rhône by Capenergies and its local partners, will be testing a photovoltaic recharging point dedicated to logistics in the agri-food sector. A of major interest to the Bouches-du-Rhône département, which is both urbanised both urban and agricultural, as confirmed by the studies carried out during the 1era phase of the project, which has just been completed.
The deployment of the other demonstrators will focus on complementary themes such as land-sea intermodality and shared mobility. By 2022, the EnerNETMob project aims to create a European electromobility network to facilitate and encourage medium- and long-distance electric vehicle travel.
The French EnerNETMob pilot installed in Bouches-du-Rhône:
what are the challenges for the region?
On the scale of the Bouches-du-Rhône, urban logistics accounts for a significant proportion of greenhouse gas emissions. The Aix-Marseille area alone accounts for 93% of the department's flows of flows* linked to the department's port and agricultural activities. This more than 50,000 LCVs with Crit air 4 and 5 stickers travel several kilometres kilometres to supply the various municipalities.
Identified as a major challenge by the Southern Region and the Aix-Marseille Metropolitan Area, which have launched incentives to encourage light commercial vehicles to switch to electric vehicles and to strengthen the network of charging points across the region.
Among the target logistics zones, the EnerNETMob preliminary report confirmed the interest of a photovoltaic charging photovoltaic charging point demonstrator for agri-food logistics. This would enable exploit new new data on optimising charging according to the availability of availability of solar energy and vehicle use. Ultimately these results could feed into the mobility action plans currently being by local authorities in the department.
As part of a regional drive to promote electric mobility combined with renewable energy sources, Capenergies is about to sign a tripartite agreement to install a small-scale electromobility demonstrator comprising a solar shading system, 2 recharging ports and an electric utility vehicle making regular deliveries in the town centre.
The location of this demonstrator, on a major strategic site for local urban logistics, will be announced at the Energy For Smart Mobility Forum, co-organised by Capenergies and GreenUnivers, on 31 March and 1 March.er April 2020 in Marseille.
