Danish participation in IEA 'Hybrid and electric vehicle implementing agreement' phase 3 2007-2009
The project enables Denmark to resume its activities in the IEA implementing agreement on hybrid and electric vehicle (IA-HEV), dealing with, for instance, electric cars with batteries and fuel cells and hybrid cars in combination with combustion engines for which advanced engines and power electronics are currently being mass produced.
Surging oil prices, the dependency of transportation on oil products and efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions have caused significant interest in developing alternative transport technologies and fuels. Battery-, hybrid and fuel cell electric vehicles are among the most promising technologies. Hybrid vehicles are a market success, especially in Japan and the US. At the same time mass production of key components such as batteries and advanced electric motors will reduce the market barriers for battery electric vehicles. The purpose of the project is to resume Danish participation in the IEA Hybrid &Electric Vehicle Implementing Agreement" (IA-HEV), which is an important international forum to exchange objective information on electric and hybrid vehicles and their effects on energy efficiency and the environment. At the same time the project gives an opportunity for Danish participation in the related Annexes. Danish participation in a new Annex on "Renewable Energy for Hybrid and Electric Vehicles" will be an interesting opportunity. The project consists of 5 main activities: 1. Preparation and participation in 2 annual meetings in the Executive Committee (ExCo) and Annex I: Information Exchange. 2. Preparation of the Danish contribution to the IA-HEV Annual Report. 3. Contact to the IA-HEV cooperation. 4. Information dissemination to the Danish Energy Authority and a Danish network group. 5. Preparation of a status report on hybrid and electric vehicles to the Danish Energy Authority.
