Abstract

This report is an appendix to the report `Deliverable D6: Analysis of case study findings". This main report presents the results of a cross section analysis of 45 demonstration projects with new transport and propulsion systems. This appendix lists all these demonstration projects. For every demonstration project a short summary is given. Per project a brief description is given of the objectives, a summary, operational aspects and first evaluation results. This appendix gives the user the possibility to get more insight information of the different projects. Doing a cross section comparison leads to a quite abstract description of the reality. Reading more specific about the projects gives the reader the opportunity to learn more about the different demonstration projects in Europe. The demonstration projects are coming from ten European countries. The distribution is more or less in accordance with the size of the country. Out of the 45 demonstration projects, 32 projects involve only passenger transport, nine demonstration projects involve only freight transport, and four projects involve both passenger and freight transport. The distribution of propulsion systems used shows that one of the selection criteria was the use of alternative propulsion systems. This explains the combination of spark ignition engines, i.e., ICE (petrol), with LPG and CNG engines and compression ignition engines, i.e., ICE (diesel), with CNG and Biogas. More information about the European research project `Urban Transport Options for Propulsion systems and Instrument for Analysis (UTOPIA)' can be found at the website: http://www.utopia-eu-com/. Unfortunately not all summaries are given in this report. Not all project leaders were able to send in their information in time. In total 34 summaries are reported. (A)
