Expected impacts / Definition of “success. The CityMove innovative vehicle concept is aimed to achieve less emissions, less noise, less congestion, more safety for drivers and vulnerable road users, more freight transport efficiency and costs effectiveness as well as more transport network efficiency in the urban context in both actual and medium-long term time perspectives. The industrial approach will lead to guarantee that the final solution will be applicable to the freight vehicles market production in few years. The expected impacts of the CityMove solution, which represent our “definition of success”, are listed in the table below for the whole indicators. N° Indicator's name Targets quantification 1 Number of accidents 15% reduction of accidents (Driver Assistance Systems) 2 Number of fatalities 20% reduction of fatalities 3 CO2 emissions >30% reduction in air pollution (Hybrid driveline), >3% reduction (Electric powered auxiliaries), >3% reduction (Smart Energy Management) 4 Small particulate emissions >30% reduction in air pollution (Hybrid driveline), >3% reduction (Electric powered auxiliaries), >3% reduction (Smart Energy Management) 5 Average noise 3 dB(A) external noise reduction 6 Noise perception Low 7 Vehicle energy efficiency 30% fuel consumption reduction (Hybrid driveline), 3% reduction (Electric powered auxiliaries), 3% reduction (Smart Energy Management) 8 Vkm by vehicle (peak/off-peak) 15% shorter missions 9 Mean journey times 15% shorter missions 10 Vehicle loading capacity 10% increasing useful loads 11 Low Step Cab and Low Deck Around 50% reduction in physical efforts (calories) demanded of drivers 12 Vehicle driving & loading/unloading facility 10% reduction in time (reducing the delivery lead-time for the final customer) 13 Operating costs 15% lower cost per vehicle 14 Cost per Unit of payload delivered >15% Lower cost of Unit delivered Table 6: CityMove impacts targets The identified target values represent a very ambitious “definition of success”, but which could put strong basis for further deployment and concrete exploitation of the CityMove solution and approach. We are aware that putting quantitative and so detailed and ambitious targets represent a risk, but is also a necessary step in order not to limit our activity to the simple (and quite common) paradigm of success understood just as compliance to a project workplan. Our success will be mostly measured on real impacts and outcomes, being the compliance with the workplan just a sort of “minimum requirement” of...
