Road haulage – an essential and demanding service industry - mostly with qualified workers - increasingly IT-driven - telematics central to efficiency Three levels of telematics: ● owner-driver – purest focus on cost and compliance. ● telematics allows him to see mpg (= CO2, Nox, PM) per load or part-load ● he knows problems on the road first hand ● fleets of more than one vehicle – remote monitoring and management of mpg,
driving style, truck performance, problems on road ● logistics planning – learn the lessons to drive change where needed – driver,
truck route, timing etc.

Alternative Fuels (Gas) - RHA has concerns:
• Guidance from central government has been lacking & confusing • Committee on Climate Change July 2014
Policy Recommendations – Transport - Fully evaluate the carbon implications of use of natural gas in vehicles before any nationwide roll-out of gas
• Very little benefit v Euro 5 diesel and no info re ultra-clean Euro 6 diesel compared with dual fuel
• Methane slip – a great concern • Infrastructure and support • Expensive duty subsidy – gets even more expensive for 100% methane but
less efficient power plant • There are other options
Plugging the gaps ● Centre for Sustainable Road Freight – projects for RHA ● use members telematics and other data to analyse true cost of congestion
on all types of roads ● survey of members on barriers to improvement – congestion; customer
demand; restricted licences
● Transport Scotland and other road authorities ● promotion of telematics and their practical application ● provision of data – “weather map” of our roads ● learn lessons (accidents, breakdowns, road works) and come up with action
plans (e.g. involving lorries) ● (Highways Agency/Passenger Focus)

What is a Micro Hybrid?
• Micro Hybrid is the terminology Wrightbus uses to describe the intelligent control of engine ancillaries to harvest energy for free, giving significant fuel savings and carbon reductions.
• Engine driven systems, such as air compressors or alternators are primarily only engaged when the vehicle is moving and the throttle demand is zero.
Micro Hybrid v1
Achieved a 7% fuel saving*
1. Opportunity charging for the electrical system
2. Optimised electric radiator fan and electric CAC fan
3. Opportunity charging for pneumatic system
* Over the equivalent non Micro Hybrid product
Micro Hybrid v2

The Way Forward
The Way Forward
Various protocols still need to be agreed within the industry, particularly with regard to electric charging standards (short duration opportunity charging– ground based inductive or overhead pantograph, or overnight long duration charging). There is also a debate to be had with regard to the particular infrastructures required to support either electric, CNG or hydrogen powered vehicles. We need more time than is available here to cover this topic alone.
• Public funding will still be required to bring the various technologies to market through mechanisms such as LCEB funding and the ‘Green Bus Fund’.
• Technologies are being developed constantly and rapidly and those we have covered today are at various maturity levels, from Micro Hybrid – fully commercially available now through to EV in all its forms which are still essentially at technology demonstration and evaluation stage.
The Way Forward
• One thing for sure – its an exciting time to be an engineer in the bus industry.
The Way Forward
Thank you!
