This work aims at evaluating the energy and environmental performance of different vehicle technologies in real routes through the creation of speed profiles for specific routes. The information given by Google Maps and OpenStreetMap APIs is used to build speed profiles on specific routes, considering 3 different driving styles – eco, normal and aggressive, and to estimate the energy and environmental performance of different technologies. The results show that the route affects both energy consumption (20-25%) and driving style (around 25%). The EV energy consumption is 43%, 46.5% and 52% lower than the Diesel vehicle for a hilly, urban and extra-urban route, respectively.

P8-10 Assessing EV energy consumption for real word trips based on origin and destination: proof-of-concept in Lisbon, Portugal

Reducing emissions from the transportation sector is one of the fastest ways to combat climate change. 

Electrifying mobility is propelling new technologies, empowering consumers to take concrete action and is demanding politicians to take swift and concrete action.

What will the future of electric mobility look like? And what are the biggest challenges for realizing zero emission transport on the road, at sea and in the air? 

The 13th-15th June, people from all over the world will travel to Oslo, the world’s leading player in electric transport, to participate in this year’s biggest EV conference.
