To provide the basis for the implementation and provide deeper insights into experiences in different cities a secondment and staffexchange programme will be set up in which professionals from local authorities and public transport operators will get the opportunity to work alongside their peers in one of the projects partner cities The exchange programme aims to focus on issues beyond technical considerations such as experiences in real world conditions on coalition building public relations stakeholder relationships and finance A direct partnership among cities will be facilitated both at technical and at political level This way the good practices and examples of emobility will help in avoiding implementation errors and will feed into the toolbox WP1 and to transferability guidelines WP6 The SOLUTIONS partner cities will be involved in an intense and focused peertopeer learning programme The cities will be grouped in topical clusters depending on the EV use case they are locally developing
Business opportunities and partnershipsIn this task, the local businesses and solution providers (including start-ups) in the partner cities are brought together with the European industry partners through a carefully formulated collaboration framework (D3.2). As a first step, a call for local innovators will be launched. Local businesses are encouraged to share knowledge and information, and to develop complementing solutions to the mainstream options already developed by the EU industry partners and catalogued in Task 3.1. Through these complementary solutions, the mainstream options are adapted to the partner city needs. Through a joint effort between the partner cities, local and European industry, business models and plans are developed. Business plans (Task 3.3) will lay out concrete steps to seize business opportunities that have been identified. Therefore, this task will also identify local businesses and specific envisioned services and products relevant for the demonstration actions. This will outline for each start-up the related program elements in the demo activity. It also states their planned deliverables and contributions. In order to enhance the cooperation beyond the consortium, a network will be created with SMEs active in e-mobility in Europe and the partner regions. Through the online catalogue (from Task 3.1) and network-events the potential demand for e-mobility options will be shared with SMEs. Moreover, workshops with SMEs will be organised around convincing concrete business development leads. For many of the fast-growing SMEs it may be difficult to select the right opportunity for cooperation, Hence, the focus lays on robust business development opportunities that match the current needs and potential of local partners. It is foreseen that these network events and workshops result in participation of European SMEs in the demonstration projects, and lead to spin-off partnerships with local companies. SOLUTIONSplus will conduct targeted match-making efforts and project initiations.

Five (5) proposals for National Urban Mobility ProgrammesThis task will take concrete steps towards financing large scale, transformative implementation projects based on the learning from the demonstration activities.Funding: This task will aim to align e-mobility solutions to national frameworks and priorities and will work with national governments on Urban Mobility Programmes that help rolling-out e-mobility solutions more widely across the country. A particular focus for this task will be on the development of national funding programmes for public and shared e-mobility solutions in cities. In close cooperation with the MobiliseYourCity, Euroclima+, IntraACP and the GEF-7 sister project, dialogues with the national governments in the partner countries will be facilitated with the objective of launching dedicated programmes for e-mobility for local authorities and local public transport operators. The demonstration activities in the SOLUTIONSplus partner cities will act as reference points for the national roll-out. Financing: For large-scale projects such as e-BRT lines, financing from domestic or multilateral banks and financing mechanisms will be required. The SOLUTIONSplus and GEF-7 projects will work directly with partner development banks, e.g. those involved in the GEF 7 sister project (ADB, AfDB, IDB, WB) and those involved in the MobiliseYourCity partnership (AFD, KfW, EBRD) and CAF. As part of the wider programme, financial institutions will be involved early in the scoping and panning of the transformational projects based on the demo actions, which will allow a close alignment to funding priorities and will enable the consortium to address specific requests from the bank during the demo and analysis phases. Procurement: The 30 partner cities and national governments involved in the joint SOLUTIONSplus and GEF-7 programme will bring a critical mass when it comes to the procurement of electric vehicles. The project partners will facilitate procurement round tables with providers of e-mobility solutions with a view to negotiate more favourable conditions for local and national authorities. These procurement round tables will be facilitated by UN Environment and will be supported by the regional coordinators (CAA, ITDP, CMM).

15 E-mobility scale-up concepts for 15 cities and 5 prefeasibility studiesConcepts for projects will be developed which aim at scaling-up the demonstration actions. This will be done in consultation with key private and public sector stakeholders in the partner cities. The concepts will aim to sustain the innovations tested in the demonstration actions and to develop them into a project proposal for a transformational, innovative and integrated e-mobility project that can be submitted to domestic, bi-lateral, multilateral or international financing institutions. The concepts outline the key aspects of these projects, key partners and steps in the process as per the requirements of the targeted financial institution. The concepts will be based on the evaluation reports and impact assessments of the demonstration actions. Successful concepts will be further developed into prefeasibility studies as per the requirements of the targeted financial institutions. To maximise the benefits from the SOLUTIONSplus project, the development of prefeasibility studies for scale-up projects on urban e-mobility solutions will focus on the demonstration cities. This will involve expanding the implementation scope to involve other potentially viable business models or geographic areas in the demonstration cities/countries. These projects identified for up-scaling will be designed in consultation with the funding entities (facilitated in task 5.3). This task will make use of the partnerships and networks established through the support and investment platforms, which are part of the GEF-7 sister project.

Risk analysis report"Considering the high level of innovations in the expected demonstrations as well as the high number of partners and globally the cities context, it is quite important to set up a continuous risk management in order to follow the probability of occurrence of identified risks or the emergence of new ones.For each WP and each tasks/subtasks a specific risk analysis template will be established; foreseeable risks will be periodically analysed (trimestral if no urgencies) and adequate measurement method of progress will be elaborated (risk indicators) as well as the ""acceptability level"" of each risk. Then the risks analysis will be based on the traditional ""level of impact x probability of occurrence"" approaches (scale 1-5). Periodic risk reports will be analysed by the Steering Group and if necessary, mitigation measures or more drastic decisions will be set up. Outcomes will also be used in the assessments conducted in WP1"
Data storage repositorySecondly technical data acquisition methods and data management systems from the vehicle fleet eg energyfuel consumption charging time and infrastructure will be defined Moreover surveys for subjective data collection during or after demonstration phases will be drafted in this task Finally both the subjective and objective data will be managed and stored in a cloudsolution provided by V2C2 with special emphasis on security and privacyThis task is responsible for performing comprehensive impact assessment and evaluation from economic social and environmental perspectives according to the assessment framework Task 12 tools Task 11 and data requirements Task 13 WP4 The performance feasibility and usability of the introduced services and use cases with respect to the user needs and various city circumstances will be assessed utilising and analysing the data collected The potential impacts of the implemented emobility solutions will be explored from different perspectives such as user acceptance environment GHG and other emissions air quality traffic safety traffic efficiency energy efficiency personal mobility wellbeingquality of life sustainability electrical safety The assessment will both be performed exante and expost
Eight to ten (8-10) business plans (building on the business opportunities)This task will engage and support start-ups to contribute to innovative business models and plans developed in Task 3.3. This task will focus on the participating cities and will be linked closely with the replication task (4.3) for innovation replication in the regions. Dedicated innovation challenges will be supported by this task and seed-funding will be provided. UITP will support up to five European SMEs (5 sub-contracts, 50,000 each, following a call for proposals) who can contribute to the demonstration actions e.g. specific technologies (several SMEs have expressed interest, letters attached). UN Environment and UN-Habitat will support local companies and transport providers based in the partner cities (up to 9 sub-contracts in total, 50,000 each, following a call for proposals) who contribute to the demonstration actions, e.g. with local technologies and/or services and embed the innovations locally. A call for e-mobility innovators will be launched (month 10) and agreements of cooperation will then be signed between the respective consortium members and the partners. This first call will be directed to local innovators in the 9 primary demonstration cities and will aim to identify private and public sector actors who contribute to the demonstration actions (duration of the project, month 12-36). A second call will be part of the replication actions in WP4 and will be open for businesses, local authorities and public transport providers in other cities, who aim to replicate the business models and demonstration actions developed by the project. For each of these innovation seed-funding actions, concrete objectives and deliverables will be identified and partners from the consortium will actively integrate the participating local innovators and the project’s overall activities. The call for proposals will respect both local and EU legal requirements. The objective of this action is to initiate partnerships that sustain the tested innovations beyond the project’s lifetime. The support for local innovators goes well beyond the seed funding, it will also include: 1) Local start-ups (identified in Task 3.2) are supported to experiment with the SOLUTIONSplus business plans.2) Local hackathons and start-up events (2 in each region together with WP4) will be organised to strengthen the partnership between local companies with European innovators and industry partners. A team of consortium partners from regional and thematic focus areas provides pro-active support to the local start-up communities. The results of this activity will be documented in short summary reports. Leveraging the IPR of the start-up within the project. 3) Opportunities for project partners are for example to act as customers for the services and the products of identified start-ups, or to act as (co-)investors in these start-ups. Such opportunities are in a first instance targeted to project demonstrations and, in a second instance, extended beyond the project.4) Scaling up and replicating business models will be pursued in connection to Task 4.3 and in view of increasing their potential revenue basis after the end of the project.5) The results achieved by start-ups’ activities will be included in the catalogue developed in Task 3.1 and will be subject to focused marketing communication in WP6 to increase their visibility e.g. at relevant events.6) Renewed business plans will be elaborated (as follow-up of Task 3.3) for potential scale-up and investment opportunity or/and to offer their upgraded products and services to the partner community, acting as potential customers (in connection to WP 4 and 5).This task will also facilitate the cooperation on start-ups’ innovations with e-mobility providers by leveraging on industry and innovation networks. The following partners will support the respective exchanges: ERTRAC (Valeo) EGVIA (Volvo), EUCAR (CRF), ITS (ERTICO), WBCSD (ABB), EARPA (IDIADA, V2C2), ERTRAC (DLR).
Planning and implementation support reportFifteen (15) policy advice papers
The success of urban electric mobility solutions critically depends on national policy frameworks, including fiscal and regulatory measures. Part of this Work Package will be to develop policy proposals that enable the take-up and integration of sustainable urban electric mobility solutions as part of a wider National Urban Mobility Programme. This task will develop recommendations for the local and national policy makers in the partner countries. This will include the integration of e-mobility business models with other sustainable mobility and energy policies and will highlight regulatory issues that need to be addressed to enable the take-up of e-mobility solutions tested in this project. The task will build on the analysis of the countries’ policy framework including industrial policies (task 1.5 and 3.1). As part of this task, summaries for national roadmaps and briefing papers that outline business opportunities will be developed. By reviewing the existing national and subnational mobility policies, SOLUTIONSplus will provide policy guidance to the project countries on how policies can be refined to create an enabling framework for electric mobility at a national and local level. 15 policy papers will be developed with recommendations on standards, regulations, fiscal policies etc.As part of this task, recommendations will also be developed to consider better integration of e-mobility in Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs) or similar local planning documents. This task will also support the institutionalisation of electric mobility with local and national governments.
Regional training activity reportThe city experts and local implementation stakeholders will go through a series of three on-the-job trainings. •An outbound site-visit/on the job coaching will bring the SOLUTIONSplus cities to European expert cities in their field, where they can access local implementation stakeholders and end users and find answers to questions on how to plan and implement EV solutions that partners cities seek to implement. These visits will happen during the first 18 months of the project. Expert cities listed in the table below have committed to take part in the SOLUTIONSplus activities. •The second phase will bring the European experts to the SOLUTIONSplus partner cities to support local planning and implementation. European experts in cooperation with SOLUTIONSplus expert partners will provide insights and advise tailored to the local context and conditions. Site visits will be combined with trainings, while reaching out to other regional SOLUTIONSplus partners and interested cities. •In a third phase, the SOLUTIONSplus partner cities and expert cities will jointly visit expert cities in the SOLUTIONSplus regions (outside of Europe) to discuss up-scaling of EV solutions. The individual peer-to-peer capacity building targets will be laid down for each SOLUTIONSplus city and the activity will be reported in the deliverable D2.3. TUB will facilitate a dedicated training programme on the toolbox for young professionals (100 in total, 25 each year, 4 years) in the SOLUTIONSplus partner cities, which will include four summer schools and several PhD and Master projects directly related to the demonstration actions in the partner cities.
Global competitiveness report on electric mobility solutionsThe objective of this task is two-fold: preparation of testing innovative business models in the context of the demonstration actions; and establishment of business plans to sustain these activities on a commercial basis beyond the project’s lifetime. Business model development tailored to the user needs in the partner citiesThe business models developed will provide the initial project concepts for demonstration activities (WP4). They focus on the local and international value chain and highlight opportunities for local businesses as well as the European industry. The business model development will be carried out by teams of research and industry partners established in task 3.1. Business models are a building block for the implementation of demonstration actions along with national policy initiatives, international competition assessments and European research and development cooperation programmes. Inputs from industry, city, operators and finance partners to the business models will be vital for this task. The business models are smart combinations of technologies products and markets of the use cases, in synergy with local market specifics and needs. They aim at creating economically feasible business opportunities. Elements of the business models are described in section 1.4 (Ambition). In this task, the target groups are informed about various innovative ways of engaging users and making the e-mobility options attractive to use. The options will be developed and designed to benefit all the target groups involved in the business model.Based on the use cases developed in WP1 and the catalogue of e-mobility solutions (task 3.1), in combination with the cities’ ambitions and their needs, feasible e-mobility use cases (including the demonstrators) will be shortlisted and selected, through a joint effort of the cities and the SOLUTIONSplus consortium. The feasibility of the e-mobility use cases, will be defined based on a) effectiveness in terms of climate impact and the broader environmental impact (including air quality, noise pollution, congestion); b) efficiency in terms of cost savings / air quality improvement, c) expected societal acceptance and d) the financial/economic, technical and organisational feasibility. The output of this sub-task will be bundled into a city e-mobility plan. Models will also include aspects such as naming rights, branding, advertisements etc. for e-bike-sharing, e-buses, e-cargo bikes, etc. as a tool for generating income.
Dissemination, exploitation and replication strategyThis task will develop a coherent strategy D61 to deliver outreach exploitation dissemination and communication activities of the project These activities will benefit greatly from the extensive partner networks within the consortium The strategy will identify opportunities for outreach and engagement throughout the project and will plan appropriate activities related to the different work packages of the project The approach will be to facilitate active exchange about sustainable urban emobility by directly engaging stakeholders using established networks to reach relevant policy makers and decision makers on financing and investments The strategy will also highlight feedback loops of the outreach and communication process to the work packages Dissemination and outreach activities will feature in all thematic work packages and will be guided by this strategy

Standardisation and harmonisation specifications related to demo actionsThis task will build on the business models (3.3), needs assessments (3.1) activities in the partner cities is to implement future e-mobility vehicle fleet and infrastructure, including the electric vehicles, recharging equipment, electric energy supply, electric grid access and related infrastructure. Since the requirements and specifications will impact directly the performance, reliability and cost of the solutions to the cities, relatively precise and well described specifications will be key to identifying the most technically appropriate and economically viable offers. The responsible entities in the partner cities will prepare functional requirements as a basis for Work Package 4. Through this task, partners will advise partner cities in providing technical support using their expertise and know-how, based on previous experience with demonstration actions. Each partner city involved will clearly draft their needs, by considering and providing relevant information to the potential vehicle and equipment providers, as regards to the operational environment, duty cycles, projected lifetime, maintenance requirements, battery re-use/re-cycle, etc. The vehicle category and type (e.g. passenger, bus, freight, heavy-duty, light-duty, 2/3 wheelers), required powertrain characteristics and performance requirements (including, for example, maximum power, range, charging power, charging time etc.) will determine the selection of commercially available vehicles and their constituent sub-systems and components (battery system, power electronics, inverters, e-motors, etc.) and the corresponding charging equipment and infrastructure. Local climatic factors will also be carefully reviewed whilst suggesting suitable technical requirements for the city. For example, very warm or cold climate conditions, the heating and air conditioning system have significant impact not only on the range of electric vehicles, but also on the operation, performance and expected lifetime of the batteries. The perspective of European and non-European Standards will be considered. Therefore, the task also carries out a review of the basis for system specifications as well as different standardisation bases applied in different countries and continents, their applicability and differences. The following will be covered: CCS, CHAdeMO, GB/T, SAE, IEC 62196 and any additional relevant standards. Moreover, standards for using batteries for providing grid services, different contacting interfaces, as well as the communication technologies will be identified. The information will be provided to the demo partners for their purposes and later edited to be published as part of the toolbox (Task 1.1).
eLearning reportIn close cooperation with the GEF-7 sister project, a global capacity building programme targeted at decision makers, practitioners and businesses will be implemented. Selected conferences, in which SOLUTIONSplus members are active, are targeted as platforms for regional and international trainings such as Clean Air Asia’s Better Air Quality (BAQ), ITF/OECD’s International Transport Forum (ITF), SLoCaT’s Transport and Climate Change Week, UN Environment and UN Habitat Assemblies, World Urban Forum, the climate Conference of Parties (COP), UITP’s Global Public Transport Summit, Transport Research Arena, Transport Research Board, ITS congresses and others. A complete list will be developed jointly with Task 6.2 at project start and updated annually.Under this task, SOLUTIONSplus partners will also select training centres and involve them in the process to develop their methodology and knowledge for future interventions (including beyond the project’s life time). The train-the-trainer activities will involve potential trainers among local associations and networks (e.g. through ERTICO ITS Academy and the UITP regional training centres). As part of this task, experiences and good practices arising from the cooperation with cities and regions across the world will be compiled (D2.6). These good practices will be used in Task 2.3 to enrich training sessions with practical examples of deployment of e-mobility and they will contain a description of challenges, solutions, business models and approaches to deployment. Regional experiences from Task 2.4 will be adapted to be part of the training material and will be integrated also into the SOLUTIONSplus toolbox.In addition to the on-site trainings and workshops, the SOLUTIONSplus will also develop a self-paced eLearning activity (following the successful example of CAPITAL eLearning project) that will enable stakeholders globally to participate in knowledge sharing activities. In addition, webinars will be held by experts in the field and the recorded webinars will be shared as learning material for the eLearning participants. The Mobility Academy and other partner platforms will be used for the SOLUTIONSplus eLearning. This activity will be reported upon in the eLearning report (D2.5). The participants of the knowledge sharing activities of the SOLUTIONSplus project will be invited to be a part of an online community where the participants have the opportunity to share their experiences with other participants and query experts on electric mobility. The community of practice will also maintain a database of experts, organisations and businesses categorised into their specific electric mobility offering.
