Transportation and vehicles
Sustainable Transport
 Descriptive rather than quantitative definitions.
 Sustainability is often depicted as the intersection of
environmental, social, and economic factors.
 Household transport must:
 Facilitate economic connection.
 Facilitate social connection.
 Promote health and safety.
 Use energy efficiently and wisely.
 Complement urban form and liveability.
 Have low environmental impact.
 Passenger transport scores highly on the last three
criteria.
 Cars score highly on the first two criteria, until numbers
cause congestion.
Mode to CBD versus Distance Travelled
Other
Bicycle
Walk
Bus
Car
passenger
Car driver
 Arrival by car changes little
with distance of journey.
 Clear relationship between
walking and public transport
(shift between 1-2 miles)
 Clear relationship between
cycling and public transport
(shift between 3-5 miles)
 No relationship between
walking and cycling.
 Buses viable for journeys up
to 6 miles (11 km), at least
A 330 mpg car for
everyone

two-seater Aptera hybrid
$20,000
12 hp diesel engine
25 hp electric motor
weight of only 850 lbs
(386kg)
 top speed of 95 mph
(152 km/h)
 fuel consumption is
estimated to be 330 mpg
(140 km/l; 0.7 l / 100km)
at 65 mph
 Low drag coefficient

Nexo: The Argentinean
Sustainable-Car Prototype
 various pieces are
repeated completely or
partially
 car’s body is composed
90% by plate panels
 it car can be adapted
into: basic (three seats),
cargo (two seats and
load space), multiplo
(four seats), ambulance
HUMMER O2
 100-percent recyclable
 maximum lifespan of just 60 months
 produces pure oxygen throughout the life of the
vehicle
 Algae-filled body panels transform carbon dioxide
into pure oxygen that is subsequently released
back into the environment and inside the vehicle
 Active Tread TM tyres provide low resistance on
the highway and allow excellent off-road progress
 uses 100-percent post-consumer materials

Yisa4
 zero-emission hydrogen engine
 open-source model of development
 The vehicle’s technical drawings and
blueprints are freely available online, and
everyone is invited to add their own ideas
and modifications, provided of course
that these are shared again with the
community
Aerorider Hybrid - Human / Electric Bicycle
- hybrid - human and electric powered vehicle that can achieve 45km/h
- single bucket seat supports your entire body placing you in a
position to comfortably focus on pedaling
- the battery charger can be plugged into
a standard household outlet

Suzuki PIXY
 the package is comprised of the PIXY single-person pod and
the SSC (Suzuki Sharing Coach) twin-pod mothership
move at low speeds on
footpaths and inside
buildings
navigate a toxic or
post-nuclear world

The original sustainable
green 4x4, off-road 'vehicle'
Quicksider - all-electric van
 light fiberglass
body
 can easily be
converted to a
passenger bus
 Sodium nickel
chloride battery
yields a 40 mile
range

Bombardier hybrid train
enters service in France
 dual-mode (electrical
and diesel) and dualvoltage (1500 and
25000 V) technology
 energy savings and
reduced CO2
emissions

Helsingborg Biogas Bus
 bio-gas (methane)
production from
waste and sewage
 61 biogas buses
operating within
the municipality
Sustainable bus stop
Tahe Kayaks
Success:
 Acetone recycling
 Recycling of other materials
 In the product transportation, filling
the kayaks with other products
 Vacuum dying to minimise loss of
materials
 Development of rental service
Problems:
- Energy consumption during
processing
- No FSC certificate
- No eco-label or other certification
(too expensive)
- In-door enviornment: odors
- Failure to take back products
Personal Air Vehicles
 Up to 45% of all miles traveled in the future may
be in PAVs
 Super energy efficient?

BOEING 787 DREAMLINER:
A More Sustainable Aircraft
 lightweight carbon-fiber for the fuselage and
wings, instead of aluminum sheeting, Boeing
was able to reduce the airplane’s weight
 reduction of fuel consumption of almost 30%
 humidity in the cabin can be much higher than
before, which will provide for better passenger
comfort
Energy Efficient Airplane
 56.25 Miles Per
Gallon - 180
Miles Per Hour
 Quiet, safe,
comfortable and
reliable
 Up to 800 mile
range
Solar Impulse - Photovoltaic
Powered Plane
 very light weight (1500
kg)
 disproportionate
dimensions (61 metre
wingspan)
 fly sufficiently slowly
(45 km/h)
 combined with battery
power
