3 Tisséo : the public transport authority of Toulouse Metropole The Toulouse network in a nutshell: Urban area served with Public Transport : inhabitants City of Toulouse: inhabitants Increase of inhabitants every year students in Toulouse, 2nd rank in France 5th urban area after Paris, Marseille, Lyon and Lille 2 VAL metro lines (27,5 km) 1 tram line (11 km) 1 railway line (line C operated by SNCF) 79 bus lines (550 buses) 1 airport shuttle 1 Mobibus service (disabled people transport) 5 bicycle stations Sales figures METRO Tram Bus Network Validations over the last 12 months (millions) (+5.7% over 1 year) 66,5 % 3 % 28,5 % 100 % Page 3

4 Tisséo : the public transport authority of Toulouse Metropole BUS : Fleet of 545 buses 480 equipped for people with reduced mobility (88%) A growing market 248 buses are fueled with Natural Gaz (46%) 1223 drivers (bus and tram) 3 bus depots : Langlade, Atlanta and En Jacca (new) 79 lines with 5 main lines covering 30% of bus trips The stakes in terms of energy consumption, CO2 related emissions, and image : 441 standard buses x 45 litres/100 km x km/year = 8 millions litres/year 82 articulated buses x 58,5 litres/100 km x km/year = 2 millions litres/year 22 midi/minibus Consumption: 10 millions litres of diesel a year Economy target: 66% - 6,6 millions litres a year - 7 millions euros/year CO2 emissions: 1,47 kg/km for standard buses ; 1,9 kg/km for articulated buses Emissions: tons Reduction target: 66% tons of CO2 saved per year (Current market available state-of-the-art hybrid bus: 30% reduction of CO2 emissions) High public exposition : 40% of the PT travellers use the bus everyday + residents Page 4

5 Why a partnership between SAFRA and Tisséo? An innovative initiative of a local industrial (Midi- Pyrenees) A past / present shared vision in the field of bus and rail renovation An interest and a support of Tisséo as a demonstration site Page 5

6 Why is Tisséo interested in BUSINOVA? Tisséo has been aware of the BUSINOVA project of SAFRA since March 2011 and has shown interest in this innovative project. Environmentally friendly: - Reducing dramatically energy consumption, CO2 and local emissions and noise, (registered as "electric ) - Offering a range of 200 km thanks to its new hybrid system Large capacity, close to a standard bus capacity Creation of a bus with a new design: - Comfortable, new space occupation (surface fully occupied) and electrochrome glass - Attractive design Lower operating costs: - Power plant facilitating maintenance - Cheap to run, longer lifecycle, limited maintenance Page 6

7 SAFRA: activities, knowledge and projects SAFRA capital Created in 1955, Serge Bodoira, managed Safra for 40 years Vincent LEMAIRE, engineer, 20 years service, CEO since employees Maintenance Renovation Design Updating City buses, underground trains, trams, trains In YEARS EXPERIENCE IN PUBLIC TRANSPORT EQUIPMENT Quality certification ISO now Sheet metal Bodywork painting Electromechanical Mecatronics Mechanical Welding Finishing Page 7

8 SAFRA: activities, knowledge and projects The BUSINOVA project, the bus of the future Page 8

9 SAFRA: activities, knowledge and projects State of the art with electric/hybrid buses ZEV city bus, low capacity and short running time Hybrid bus (combustion & electric engine) by major constructors - 30% fuel economy, 12 metre long vehicles Page 9

10 BUSINOVA : a unique breakthrough project on the bus market 1st innovation : bi-modular chassis Due to the weight of the power pack, Safra has used a new patented structural design The power pack is towed under the rear of the vehicle, resulting in : - 20% vehicle weight reduction, 10 tonnes without passengers - Capacity of 90 passengers for a 10 m bus Passenger pack Energetic pack Page 10

11 BUSINOVA : a unique breakthrough project on the bus market Page 11

12 BUSINOVA : a unique breakthrough project on the bus market 2nd innovation : tri-hybridization Multi-hybridization is our 2 nd patented innovation : Hydraulic start Electric running on plug-in batteries Combustion engine to supplement the vehicle Hydraulic regenerative braking system Page 12

13 BUSINOVA : a unique breakthrough project on the bus market Key dates END Manufacture of the pre-production vehicle for certification 2. Marketing 3. Financial work on the next R&D stage 4. Building European partnerships Certification 2. Trial test on Toulouse network 3. Industrialization 4. Continuation R&D programme leading to ZEV, longest range possible or minimal running costs Page 13

14 BUSINOVA : the results expected Vacuous weight 20% lower Vehicle surface fully occupied Range of 200 km Consumption of fuel three times lower than a conventional bus (15L/100 km) Mass transfer through the articulation on the drive axle enabling energy recycling when braking Page 14

15 BUSINOVA: foreseen benefits and evaluation Assessment of the experiment and benefits for public transport users and inhabitants Operating BUSINOVA on several regular lines of the Tisséo urban transport network Enabling to verify : - the expected energy savings / measurement of polluting emissions - the positive impact on the urban environment through the seasons Requiring the measurement and the collection of results, through an objective methodology in relation with the 4 following areas: Environmental savings : - Measurement of power consumption - Measurement of fuel consumption - Operation under different weather conditions - Measurement of noise emissions Page 15

16 BUSINOVA: foreseen benefits and evaluation User satisfaction: - Perception of the visual identity of the vehicle - Measurement of the perception of dynamic comfort - Measurement of the room comfort: noise, vibration, thermal comfort, lighting comfort - New services (if possible): on-board information, Wifi Driver satisfaction: - Measurement of the perception of dynamic comfort - Measurement of the perception of the ergonomy of the driving position - Measurement of the room comfort: noise, vibration, thermal comfort, lighting comfort Operating costs: - Approaching the availability rate and maintenance prescription to achieve the maximum rates - Checking the compatibility of the fleet existing maintenance equipment with those needed for interventions on BUSINOVA (drum bridges, scissor lift) - Refining the optimization rules of hybridization parameters according to lines typology - Evaluating ownership costs within the meaning of the EU Directive Page 16
