Development of low-emission bus fleet by
             the MZA company - Warsaw municipal bus operator
•   Purchase of bus fleet that reduces emissions
    of pollutants and utilizes modern technologies.
•   Operation of 4 hybrid 18 m Solaris buses since
    2011.
•   Gas buses: 35 18 m LNG buses joined the
    Warsaw fleet in 2015. Since 2018 - 80 CNG buses.
•   12 m e-buses: 10 purchased in 2014, 10 in 2016,
    10 acquired in 2017.
•   Operation     of     electric   buses     besides
    environmental benefits will also bring significant
    savings in operating costs.
•   Warsaw – member of C40 since 2007 and
    participant of its Low Emission Vehicle Network -
    signed the C40 Clean Bus Declaration in 2015.
•   In accordance with the Declaration, MZA shall
    operate 130 EV/HEV buses until 2020.

                                                               8

Financing and application for 130 e-buses
                              submitted in 2016
• Hybrids, gas buses and 12 m e-buses: all purchased from own budget of MZA
  (related e.g. to poor offer of assistance schemes for clean buses available in Poland
  – the current government promises to change this state of things).
• Therefore, LCC analysis was helpful in making decisions on obtaining buses with
  substantially higher purchase costs.
• However, LCC calculations cannot give us 100% certainty, due to variables like
  prices of electricity and fossil fuels. Therefore, utilization of available external
  assistance funds was particularly desired.
• Application submitted in December 2016 to the Polish national operational
  programme „Infrastructure and Environment”.
• Total value of the application: PLN 340 million (€ 81 million/USD 93 million),
  including PLN 180 million of EU funding and PLN 160 million from MZA’s budget.
• Scope of the application: 130 18 m buses (PLN 325 million), aerial chargers with
  accompanying investments in19 locations (PLN 14 million).

                                                                                          9

New Warsaw housing policy until 2030
• It is planned to be adopted by the City Council this year.
• The Housing Policy will be based on four segments:
• A. social flats –subsidized flats. This includes social projects and assisted housing
  (training housing for the homeless, protected housing for adult orphans, etc.)
• B. subsidized community flats – are affordable flats for people with low income.
• C. community flats built by Warsaw Community Housing Association (TBS) – are flats
  for people with the income higher than the maximum required for sector B, yet not as
  high as to afford their own flat.
• D. flats for rent – offered in a very good standard and built by private companies.

                                                                                          15

Sharing Cities – SHAR-LLM
• Call SCC-01-2015. The largest H2020 Warsaw’s project (35
  partners, EU financing - € 25 million, total budget - € 28 million).
  Lighthouse cities – London (coordinator), Lisbon, Milan.
  Follower cities – Bordeaux, Burgas, Warsaw. www.sharingcities.eu/.
• SHAR-LLM is a proving ground for better, common
  designs which cause industry and cities
  to collaborate internationally; which will
  result in affordable solutions; which help
  cities and society collaborate locally and
  build more trusting relationships.
• 3 demonstrator areas (Greenwich,
  downtown Lisbon, Milan’s Porta Romana)
  with implementation of smart cities
  solutions (energy management systems,
  RES, e-mobility, urban data platform…).
• Follower cities analyze these solutions
  and adapt to their local circumstances.

                                                                         20
Sharing Cities – SHAR-LLM
• Impact of the project already felt in solutions implemented in Warsaw, e.g.:
   Institutionalization of smart cities thinking within the city structures (examples
   from London, Lisbon or Bordeaux),
   Electric bikes (Milan),
   Testing building energy management systems (all 3 lighthouse cities).

• Even though implementation of some models remains difficult due to
 circumstances external to the project and partially external to Warsaw
 (like modernization of street lighting in public-private partnership, like all PPP
 projects very challenging to implement in Polish conditions).

• While some still remain at a very preliminary stage, so require further conceptual
  support from Sharing Cities and other sources (like work on urban data platform
  available for citizens).

• And some need first further
  testing in lighthouse cities
  (autonomous vehicles
  in London-Greenwich).

                                                                                        21
