The Participation Of Turkey To The Hybrid And Electric Vehicles Implementing Agreement Of The International Energy Agency Hamdi UÇAROL TÜBİTAK MAM Energy Institute    Needs and Benefits of International Collaboration International Energy Agency (IEA) Hybrid Electric Vehicle Implementing Agreement and its Annex Groups Needs of International Collaboration • Provide international platforms for coordination of common ideas, themes, or technologies. • The introduction of new technologies needs a close collaboration between industries, governments and users to ensure proper deployment. • Without the infrastructure provided by international collaboration, adapted laws and incentives would face significant introduction challenges. • Government leaders are calling for increased coordination between themselves, industries, and users to enhance collaborative efforts. Benefits of International Collaboration • Lowers the hurdle of introducing new technologies. • Lowers the cost for all participating partners and helps leverage resources. • Avoids duplication of work, effort, focus, and as a result, saves time, money, resources, etc. • Provides better quality information through formal agreements, working groups, workshops, etc. • Enhanced Communication and information exchange. IEA – Today’s objectives IEA is a Paris based organisation of 26 Governments interested in Energy Issues:  Climate Change Policies,  Market Reform, and  Energy technology collaborations. Conducts programs on:  Energy Research  Data Compilation  Publications  Public Dissemination of The Latest Energy Policy Analysis  Recommendations on Good Practices IEA is presently reaching out to other non-member countries, primarily those who are major producers and consumers of energy. IEA Structure IEA Structure CERT The Committee’s Objectives are to: • • improve energy efficiency and technology reliability. enhance access to up-to-date assessments of energy technology performance. reduce environmental impact of energy-sector activities. cooperate with non-Member countries. • • IEA Structure Implementing Agreements – – – – core R&D expertise deployment know-how workshop findings data banks, publications ■ Hybrid/Electric Vehicles Hybrid Electric Vehicles (IA-HEV) 12 Participating countries (governments): – – – – – – – – – – – – • Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Italy, Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, USA. Turkey joined this Implementing Agreement in June of the year 2007. IA-HEV Objectives: • Collaborating on pre-competitive research projects and investigating the need for further research in promising areas. Collaborate with specific groups or committees and other Implementing Agreements with an interest in transportation, vehicles, and fuels. Provide governments, local authorities, large users, and industry with objective information on electric and hybrid vehicles (EVs and HEVs) and their effects on energy efficiency and the environment, by means of general studies, assessment, demonstrations, comparative evaluations of various options, market studies, technology evaluations, and industrial opportunities. Disseminate the information produced in its working groups, also called “Annexes," to interested groups and organizations. • • • Annex Groups related to the IA-HEV • • • • • • • Annex I: Information Exchange on HEV Technologies and Programmes Annex VII: Hybrid Vehicles Annex IX: Clean City Vehicles Annex X: Electrochemical Systems Annex XI: Electric Cycles Annex XII: Heavy-Duty Hybrid Vehicles Annex XIII: Fuel Cells for Vehicles • • • Annex XIV: Deployment of HEVs: Lessons Learned Annex XV: Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles New Annex on “Fuel and Technology Alternatives for Buses” – Overall Energy Efficiency and Emission Performance Conclusions IEA-IA-HEV added value • knowledge transfer by network meetings • knowledge transfer among experts from member countries • knowledge transfer among government officials responsible for automotive research • a well informative overview of the future automotive technology • TUBITAK Marmara Research Center Energy Institute has become a member of IEA-IA-HEV to coordinate the related activities in Turkey.
