AB Urban mobility electrification is a high complex optimization problem, which needs to be approached from an integrated point of view in terms of electric infrastructure and electric vehicle fleet connection. In a first stage is necessary to define the high level specifications, and the optimal size for both infrastructure and electric vehicle fleet, according to the sustainable mobility expected targets of the city analyzed, e.g. mobility covered/filled areas, emission reduction, consumption reduction, cost reduction, energy & mobility efficiencies. In order to obtain the optimum integrated solution, a global approach of the problem is essential, moving from the high level definition of electric vehicle fleet and infrastructure, to the more detailed definition of systems and subsystems derived. CITYELEC is a strategy R&D Spanish project, analyzing, covering and solving the particular urban mobility electrification problem in some cities of Spain, starting from the high level definition of the urban mobility issues, and concluding in the detailed definition of the vehicle and infrastructure specifications. In CITYELEC project, special methodologies, global modelling and simulation tools, and advanced systems and subsystems are being under research and development, aiming for the optimum electro mobility integrated solution, including the infrastructure and the electric vehicle fleet.

NO CITYELEC strategic project was launched October 2009, and with a budget of €19.0 million financed partially by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation, represents a milestone in the vehicle electrification R&D initiatives in Spain. The project gathers the efforts of different companies (automotive and electric), city councils of San Sebastian and Zaragoza, research centres and universities. With duration of four years the project will make possible the development of new concepts of electrical vehicles and recharge infrastructures for urban environments. CITYELEC project arises from the urban sustainable mobility concern today, showing that a large portion of the population limits their daily travel to short / medium distances of less than 80 kilometres, often within urban agglomerations. CITYELEC project is focused on the key elements both in vehicle and infrastructure, for developing new concepts of electrified mobility in urban environment. This approach is carried out from high level specification (urban mobility needs) to low level product definition, with an integrated point of view (taking into account both infrastructure and vehicle), in order to create a electric vehicle fleet optimized for the mobility requirements of the cities participating in the project. The project will last four years (2009 - 2012) and will experiment and validate EV on the road for a period of a year (2011). Its aim is to come up with conclusions and recommendations by autumn 2012. In this paper a compilation of the results obtained so far, and the global approach methodology are shown. This work comes under the framework of the CITYELEC research project PSE 370000-2009-4. This research project is being granted by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation (National Applied Research Program).
