Information
«URBAN NODE» means an urban area where the transport infrastracture of
the trans – European transport network, such as ports including passenger
terminals, airports, railway stations, logistic platforms and freight terminals
located in and around an urban area, is connected with other parts of that
infrastructure and with the infrastucture for regional and local traffic;
REGULATION (EU) No 1315/2013 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
OF 11 December 2013, annex II
“Urban Node” in the City of Riga

“Urban Node” in the City of Riga
Long term development strategy
o Public transport – main mobility solution for persons in urban area
o Energy efficiency – optimize and promote multimodal transport,
including through greater use of the most effective ways of energy
usage
o Technological innovation – vehicles energy effieciency
improvement by implementing new alternative fuels using
powertrains
o Alternative fuel – introduction of alternative fuels infrastructure to
improve air quality and environment
Innovative solution
An innovative technical solution for public transport where traction is
provided by an electric motor using electricity and hydrogen as an
energy carrier thus improving persons mobility, optimizing the existing
bus and trolleybus route network, promoting public transport
accessibility and reducing GHG local pollution.
Alternative fuels
Alternative fuels
Different bus powertrains comparison
Local urban air pollution
Comparison of local emissions of Euro III, Euro V & Euro VI & Electric drive bus
Electric drive – powertrain with electric motor drive and energy stored in
electricity or hydrogen
- towards a network of hydrogen refuelling
stations along two core road corridors
Aim is harmonised deployment of Hydrogen Infrastructure for
Transport (HIT) along 2 TEN-T core network corridors
Implementation plans as input for policy in: Finland, Poland,
Belgium and Riga region
Additional studies for new HRS and more vehicles in Sweden
Build hydrogen refuelling stations (HRS) in Stockholm,
Göteborg, and Voikoski to kick start the network along both
road corridors
Strategic analyses on integration of hydrogen in road corridors
led by Ministry for Infrastructure of the Netherlands
European level communication facilitated via HyER;
Coordination and analyses by Sweco
Start March 2014, end December 2015; Budget 6,8 million Euro; www.HIT-2-Corridors.eu
Commercialisation Strategy for Fuel Cell
Electric Buses in Europe
Politically
There is a push for reducing emissions in public transport
Environmentally
FC buses help to reduce noise levels, to green cities and public
transport
Operationally
FC buses are the most flexible zero emission option
Economically
FC buses reduce external costs of public transport
Organisationally
The coalition and the FCH JU support operators in introducing FC
buses

H2 Nodes
H2Nodes – evolution of a European hydrogen refueling station network by
mobilizing the local demand and value chains
o H2Nodes Action looks into planning and realizing a chain of HRS and boosting
implementation of FCEV along the North Sea - Baltic core network corridor
o The focus is on market sided innovation by real-life deployment and
processes to boost market introduction
o RM LLC “Rīgas Satiksme” pilot of the innovative concept HyTrolleys where is
combined the two alternative fuels electricity and hydrogen to allow benefit
from the advantages of both technologies and provide greater flexibility in
the urban transport system, less noise, zero emissions and better energy
efficiency
o Local studies
o Cooperation with Government Support Group
H2 Nodes
Conclusions
o Traction power for public transport most efficiently can be provided
with electric motor
o Security of energy supply and energy efficiency of public transport
and urban infrastructure can be provided through introduction of
alternative fuels and energy resources diversity by universal energy
carriers - electricity and hydrogen
o Greatest benefits for air quality and environment by implementing
alternative fuels and zero emission vehicles can be achieved in
urban areas
