SCENARIO COMPARISON

6. This project has received funding from the [European
Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation
programme under grant agreement No 723970
§ No electric bus concept is more economical than diesel at
the moment but can be beneficial when external factors
are included
§ Most effective with high passenger numbers
§ Best application for electric buses in metropolitan areas
§ High traffic, low speed, high diesel cons., high external
costs
BUSINESS CASE DEVELOPMENT

7. This project has received funding from the [European
Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation
programme under grant agreement No 723970
POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS
Multi-purpose usage of charging infrastructure
§ Legal barriers: re-selling energy and using drive
power etc
§ Technical problems: influence on net stability when
charging on tram network
E-Bus integration
§ Addressing underfunding for E-bus -> Factor 100
campaign
ü New federal funding scheme in Germany from 2018
ü €300.000 in 4 years leading to funding for 500 electric
buses

8. This project has received funding from the [European
Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation
programme under grant agreement No 723970
SUPPORT FOR OTHER CITIES AND PUBLIC
TRANSPORT OPERATORS
§ Giving advice on electrifying of bus fleets and reducing NOx, PM
and CO2 emissions to help reaching local emission goals
§ Provide results helping to determine which technology option can
be most suitable for:
§ E-Bus charging
§ Tram braking energy recovery
§ Trolley-bus braking energy
§ Multi-usage of charging infrastructure
§ Substation installations
