Nine (9) implementation summary reports for the demonstration actions

The SOLUTIONSplus Living labs will be real-life test beds for innovative e-mobility solutions, which will enable the project to and experiment in different environments. Mobility users and providers will be actively involved to co-create innovations and test the effectives of e-mobility technologies and services to ensure they meet user needs and are viable and fit into the local context. For each of the nine demonstration activities that will receive direct financial support from SOLUTIONSplus, a combination of regionally appropriate and feasible urban electric mobility solutions will be implemented. The integration of different e-mobility solutions in the demonstration project hubs will be a key focus. The testing of different types of electric vehicles and business models for e-mobility services will be conducted for a period of up to 24 months. As part of this task, SOLUTIONSplus will develop and implement a demonstration project that combine different e-mobility solutions, services, business models, types of vehicles and charging systems in an innovative and application-oriented manner. Each demo project has been outlined in the proposal phase, while technical details and an implementation plan will be developed during the first 6 months of the project, followed by the 18-month demonstration phase. The evaluation of the demo projects will start with data collection during the implementation phase, and finish with the analysis of the data in final phase of the project, resulting in recommendations for the scale-up and further financing along with other policy recommendations. For each demo action technical equipment will be made available by EU industry partners, costs will be covered for leasing, amortisation, operations, and seed funding for business model applications. The e-mobility innovations will be tested in close cooperation with transport providers and public transport authorities, local businesses and European industry, guided by research and innovation partners. The support teams will provide robust technical specifications tailor-made for the local context. Regional coordinators will be CAA (Asia), WI and CMM (Latin America), ITDP (Africa); ABB will provide charging solutions to Madrid, Hanoi, Montevideo; T-Systems will provide charging solutions for Pasig, and Hamburg; Valeo will develop e-3-wheelers with Kathmandu, Kigali and Dar es Salaam; CODATU will develop finance models for operators (Quito and Kathmandu), CRF will contribute to business model tests with a focus on sharing, DTU will support assessments of grid integration, FIER and ZLC will support logistics integration and models, IDIADA will support vehicle testing and data collection, ICLEI will support stakeholder dialogues, UITP will lead public transport integration and operations, Pluservice will develop and test the SOL+ MaaS app, Piaggio will contribute to e-2 and 3-wheeler tests and models, POLIS will support the demos in Hamburg and Madrid, UNEP and UN-Habitat will support Kigali and Dar es Salam, UTT will be the support partner for Hanoi, V2C2 will support the MaaS app and tests, VTT will support Kathmandu and Quito, CLI will provide support to Hanoi and share experiences from China, UEMI will provide support to all cities on the business model adaptation and testing, Volvo and Lindholmen will contribute to the e-bus demos in Montevideo and Quito, RC will support the demos in Quito and Kathmandu.
