New York in 2030: a city without cars and greener

In his excellent magazine "Pictures of the Future", which is available on its website, Siemens imagines the city of New York in 2030. The vision is reported as a journalist, a reporter who comes to India * up to see what has changed since the inhabitants of the Big Apple have decided to no longer drive a car - because of a fee per km very deterrent - and that the city has invested heavily in green transportation.
Thus, this reporter Note first that the money saved by New Yorkers (or rather, not spent on the purchase, fuel and maintenance of cars) can consume more and boost the economy. But he comes pretty quickly to the new trains that crisscross the city. Silent, they offer more comfort with air conditioning. Braking recovers energy and the surplus is redistributed in the electrical network (smart grid).

Another innovation: the emergence of a high-speed metro (Underground Express) that can go to Brooklyn to the Bronx, Manhattan or at any airport within 15 minutes. It is faster than the car. Our reporter also notes that the Grand Central Station has become a hub, connected to the lines of high-speed train. A satellite tracking system provides the reconciliation schedules and shift to meet demand.


On the surface, residents and visitors to New York to borrow buses and taxis. Thermal models have been replaced by thousands of electric versions, which substantially improved the air quality. And then, taxis have become more comfortable as the electric motors in the 4 wheels have to review the design and offer much more space on board.
A taxi ride can for example power for 250 km. For refueling, it can either make a quick charge in 10 minutes, or connect to the network for 2 h, the time to pause. Indian journalist also notes that owners of cars - because it still is - roll with very little. In fact, they use their electric car to store energy and release it into the network. This saves up to $ 1,000 per year.
As a result, electric power is supplied by renewable energy and coal plants have closed their doors. Thus ends this story. It's a bit too optimistic, but the technological building blocks are there.
