8 An Electric Bus Delivery Plan for Seoul 2 Greenhouse gas Reduction for Transportation Sector

9 Green Transport 2020 : Urban Transportation System Focusing on Green Car Promote Green Car Use Green Car Oriented Eco-Friendly Urban Transportation Encourage use of green cars for those who drive for economic reasons Control Passenger Car Green Transport 2020 Facilitate Mass Transport Clean & Attractive Global City, Seoul

10 Encourage use of Public Transportation Subway : 9 lines, 387km Buses : 7,600 cars

11 Encourage use of Public Transportation Continuous expansion of median bus only lanes Map of Bus-only Lanes

12 Car Free Day & Weekly No Driving Program Teheran-ro Jongno After After Before Around 1 million cars participating in the program Expect to reduce 246,541tons of pollutants per year Car Free Day, Car Free Streets every year Traffic Volume 17.4% Traffic speed in the city 2.6%

13 Delivery of Eco-Friendly Vehicles OLEV (On-line Electric Vehicles) Pilot operation of new technologies through technical partnership with KAIST On-line Electric Vehicles Introduction of green electric buses Operation on Namsan Ring Roads

14 An Electric Bus Delivery Plan for Seoul 3 Challenges for Electric Bus

15 An ambitious project to replace 3,800 out of total 7,600 buses (50% of buses) in Seoul by 2020

16 To develop Electric Bus, Seoul.. Established Green Car Delivery Team Secured necessary budget for green car delivery projects Cooperates with other cities London, Los Angeles

17 But, our fears to take new paths CAN WE DO IT? We cannot as we have never done it before We cannot as we don t t know whether it will be sold We cannot as we can t t afford to invest in technical development Not yet

18 Compared to other major cities, in Seoul there are.. More citizens living together.. More cars on the road.. And citizens with high expectations We did not have time to wait.

19 Then, Do we have a company That can make an electric bus? Bucheon Busan Milyang Hamyang Hwaseong Daejeon Jeonju Incheon

20 Then Will it be sold? Purchase commitment Joint Development

21 We have new technology. But we do not have money! Need to develop the world best EV motor Smart recharger Able to price large amount of electricity in real time

22 In September 2009, we signed an Agreement on Joint Development of Electric Bus

23 An Electric Bus Delivery Plan for Seoul 4 Development of Electric Bus

24 Development progress Agreement between Seoul Hankuk Fiber & Hyundai Heavy Industries Finalized the vehicle design Manufactured the electric bus, conducted pilot operation Presentation on development progress, demonstration for the media Inspection on vehicle safety & performance certification

25 First Leading Tech Carbon fiber composite material for bodyshell Used lightweight carbon fiber composite material for vehicle bodyshell for the first time in the world! Reduced the weight and raised economics and safety! Enhanced fuel efficiency and realized environment-friendliness by significantly lowering the vehicle weight compared to the existing low-floor buses by using lightweight carbon fiber composite material for the bodyshell of the electric bus

26 Second Leading Tech World best battery and motor Output : 240kW (322hp) Lithium Ion Polymer (102kWh) Strong, high-efficient performing 322hp motor equipped with latest technologies. es. Significantly reduced the noise to enhance convenience for driver r and passengers. Leading technology for future eco-friendly vehicle. High-efficient, safe, and durable high-volume battery, which is an integration of state-of of-the the-art technologies.

27 Third Leading Tech Elegant, Streamlined Design

28 Specification Type Category Features Weight 10.7 ton Vehicle Engine Size Capacity Bodyshell Drive Motor Battery 11m(Length) 2.49m(Width) 3.5m(Height) 48 passengers (Standing-room for 24 people, 23 seats, 1 driver) Lightweight Carbon Fiber Composite 240kW (322hp) Lithium-ion ion polymer (102kWh) Top speed 100km/h Performa nce Gradability 30%(17 degrees) Distance per Charging 110km (driving at 60km/h) Charging time 20mins (Rapid charging) Features Electric heating & cooling, LED lights, electric plug-in doors

29 One year since the project was initiated Shuttle buses for the G20 Seoul Summit 10 electric buses will run on Namsan Ring Roads from December We only took the first step. But our dream for clean future Seoul is growing.

30 An Electric Bus Delivery Plan for Seoul 5 Expectations

31 Emission free streets Able to see as far as west sea.. Zero emission of exhaust gas such as particulate matter and nitrogen oxide

32 Greenhouse Gas reduction To Tackle Climate Change.. Halve Greenhouse gases Halve including emissions from power generators

33 Resolve noise problems by reducing vehicle noise

34 Replace bad cars, harmful to our children s s health with Happ ppy Cars which can co-exist with our children Zero Emission Infinite Happiness
