+Our Green Transport KPI

Green T rips refer to:

Public transport and

Non ‐motorised forms of transport,e.g. walking & cycling

Transport key part of the Eco Visionfor the Eco ‐City

Consumes 1/3 of total energyconsumption in a city

Remaining 2/3 from residential and

industrial usage

30% Green Trips by 2013, 90% Green Trips by 2020

Integration & Connectivity are Key

“1 Chain – 1 Core, 1 Spine, 4 Dis tricts”

LRT as key transport infrastructure

Integration with o ther transportoptions for seamless connectivitythroughout the Eco ‐City

Challenge to Realise Ambitious Vision

Have to contend with:

Broader trends: increasing car own ershipand road usage as China’s economy growsOpen boundaries: not possible to isolateor restrict types of vehicles that enter theEco‐City

• Specialist study shows Eco ‐City toeventually hav e 1,062,000 trips a day

• Of which 37% are internal ‐external tripsas people come to the Eco ‐City for thehigh value ‐added jobs we bring in

Need to ensure good connectivity via

rail and public bus routes to major cities

+

High Barriers to Entry in Initial Stages

Need to create buy ‐in orawareness of greentransportation

Costly charging infrastructure

Uncertainty of investment astechnologies continue toevolve

Conclusion

Partnering experts to crea te and realise long ‐term success of greentransport in the Eco ‐City

Many opportunities fo r providers of all kinds

Further innovation and ideas wanted

Together, we can create a more sustainable future
