Major EV charging strategies Other projects Highways England EV Charging Points Programme Support Assessing electric vehicle charging needs at UK Motorway Service Areas Arup helped inform the Highways England 2050 strategy which helped develop the Road's Investment Strategy (RIS). The RIS sets that: "95% of the Strategic Road Network will have a charging point every 20 miles". Arup is now supporting in the implementation by: 1. Helping define the new criteria: able to reach full charge in 30 minutes, to be accessible within a five-minute drive of the SRN and to be available 24/7. 2. Development of a GIS model and gap identification 3. Developing a direct procurement strategy. Arup supported the appointment and administration require to appoint two EV charging infrastructure suppliers. 4. Further modelling work identifying where additional electric vehicle charging capacity is required. This work combines transport, energy and socio-economic data to provide a detailed picture of EV charging demand across the network during the day and as EV ownership rises. Helping various UK Gov depts. to understand gaps in grid infrastructure at UK motorway service stations, with our analysis feeding into a policy paper setting out the UK gov’s vision for rapid charging in England. 66 new charge points have been installed and commissioned The project considers the demand requirements with the grid availability for electricity distribution and transmission. It also estimates the potential costs for connecting the charging hubs to the grid as a high-level feasibility study for the sites Welsh Government Electric Vehicle Charging Strategy Developing an EV charging strategy for the whole country

Bus Strategies Other projects Electric Bus Feasibility Study, Doncaster and Sheffield, UK Award-winning project involved developing a bespoke, digital tool to test the feasibility of electrifying bus routes that operate in South Yorkshire. Wireless charging electric bus trial, Milton Keynes Electric Bus Feasibility Study, York Five-year wireless charging Electric Bus trial to assess the technical and commercial feasibility of an all-electric bus fleet. Matching the reliability and cost of a conventional diesel bus fleet. York has a historic city centre with a highly constrained highway network, which creates issues for bus operation in the city. Arup produced a full technology review study outlining which services would need to be converted to which technology in order to achieve the city’s ambitious targets for bus fleet decarbonisation and how the strategy should be delivered. Arup helped to deliver a successful bid to the Green Bus Fund for a number of electric buses for the city. Hydrogen Bus Network and Future Zero-Emission Routemap, Liverpool Supporting Merseytravel, the public transport authority for Liverpool, in developing an innovative pilot to introduce a fleet of Hydrogen buses across the City Region. When operational, by the end of 2021, they will be the first buses in the region to utilise the new, clean and sustainable technology. Electric Vehicle Feasibility Study, Manchester, UK Helping Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU) identify vehicles that were viable to replace based on cost effectiveness and duty cycle. We also calculated the amount of CO2 that would be saved by making this change. This information allowed our client to assess the business case for making the switch to electric vehicles.

Airports Heathrow Ultra Low Emissions Zone & Expansion Arup worked with Heathrow Airport Limited (HAL) to develop the Surface Access Strategy. A key aspect of this was the management of private vehicle journeys to and from the airport. We developed a road user charging policy for the airport, which included the Heathrow Vehicle Access Charge (HVAC) and Heathrow Ultra-Low Emission Zone (HULEZ). These policies supported a reduction in carbon emissions by encouraging modal shift to public transport. It plans to reduce vehicle mileage and encourage the uptake of more carbon efficient vehicles. The development of the policy included: Assessing impacts (mode-shift, air quality, costs and revenue) Guiding external communications Guiding discussions with stakeholders Developing technical details for implementation Arup also advises other leading airports internationally, to provide decarbonisation strategies using renewable energy sources. We have developed carbon emission models, carbon forecasting and interventions assessment.

Logistics Broadgate Broadgate is 2-acre neighbourhood that bridges the City of London financial hub and the upcoming tech hubs in the city. Working with current occupiers and key stakeholders, Arup helped set up a Sustainable Logistics Strategy which included: Bespoke vehicle trip generation rate and demand profile Retiming of deliveries – to smooth the peak demand Use of local suppliers Promotion of supply chain consolidated deliveries Promotion of preferred suppliers Vehicle booking system Delivery and Servicing Management Plan (DSMP) Consolidation / vehicle reduction required and design for cargo bikes GLA Gnewt EV trial (2017 -2019) EV Trial Partnership between The Mayor of London and Gnewt Cargo, testing light goods vehicles delivery and logistics in London.

Active Travel Greener Grangetown Multi-award winning scheme delivering a Sustainable Urban Drainage System whilst enhancing the environment for pedestrians and cyclists in Cardiff. Green Infrastructure Removing more than 40,000m³ of rainwater each year from entering the combined sewer network. Rain gardens are planted areas that mimic the natural environment, providing a more sustainable method for catching and cleaning rainwater. When it rains, water flows into the rain gardens where hardy plants and trees soak it up and filter it, capturing and breaking down some pollutants along the way. During heavy storms, water that cannot be absorbed by soil and vegetation travels through pipes at the base of each rain garden and is conveyed to the nearby River Taff. Active Travel Improvements Creating Wales' first bicycle street (555m ‘bicycle street’ along Taff Embankment), installation of new crossings, attractive planting that moves parking away from junctions, and a central textured strip in the road that prompts drivers to take extra care have transformed the street. A better-quality street environment for users and residents has been created, reducing motorists’ speeds and improving the visibility of cyclists and pedestrians. The result is a residential street where bicycles take priority. Other projects Ankara Cycle Masterplan, Turkey Masterplan being developed with gender equality and social inclusion at the forefront of the planning and decisionmaking process. Ankara currently has a mode share of cycling of less than 1% of all trips. Connswater Community Greenway, Belfast, North.
