**CoastalCorre is a feasibility study exploring the development of a modular charging hub to support the transition to electric vessels operating in coastal waters.** The system is designed to operate nearshore, offering an alternative to shore-based infrastructure which can be limited by grid capacity, tides, or available space. The hub concept combines ...

The Sustainable Aviation Test Environment (SATE) project will deliver a Regional Sustainable Aviation Strategy for the Highlands & Islands. This will establish a roadmap for new technologies to enter service in the region and quantify the commercial and social benefits that the improved connectivity will deliver. The Highlands and Islands region accounts ...

Urban Foresight is lead partner on the Innovate UK funded 'Clean Streets EV Infrastructure Toolkit: Demonstrator' project (number 105422), which commenced in October 2019\. The project is a real world demonstrator of innovative pop-up chargers that are built into the pavement and rise up to provide a discreet, safe and low-cost charging solution for elect...

The 'Hydrogen in an Integrated Maritime Energy Transition' (HIMET) project will demonstrate maritime decarbonisation enabling technologies, encompassing the design, development, and demonstration of four solutions: 1.Hydrogen systems and future micro-grid architectures for resilient shore-side power, including testing of a hybrid hydrogen/solar system and...

Duku have partnered with Urban Foresight and Dundee City Council to conduct a feasibility study into the development of an accessible EV chargepoint that builds on successful work already undertaken between Duku, UF, Motability and disability sector experts. The project aims to explore the feasibility of a range of innovative functional features, providin...

The operability between EV charging networks is a well-known issue with public charging infrastructure. With over 50 networks in the UK alone, it can be time-consuming and confusing for EV drivers to use multiple smartphone apps or RFID cards across multiple networks to be able to charge wherever they want. Therefore, our project will see the delivery of ...

Our feasibility study showed that a) councils need both information and guidance, and a new type of charging architecture if they are to support electric vehicle (EV) charging in public places at-scale; b) on-street public charging is possible with a flexible and context-specific "toolkit" approach with "pop-up" EV chargers integrated with smart parking; ...

"Our project will meet the challenge of providing low-cost charging solutions at scale for electric vehicle users without access to off-street parking. Recognising that 87% of EV drivers want to charge 'at home' and that 30% - 43% of UK households have no access to off-street parking for charging, we believe that, although there is an important role for p...

"**The UK government has banned the sale of internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles from 2040, and is targeting up to 40% of new van sales to be zero emission by 2030, yet with 4M vans on UK roads, and total van mileage increasing due to internet shopping, currently only 0.3% of new van sales are electric.** With cities and towns also looking to address...
