| Summary: | Urban transport is one of the most challenging
sectors of the public administration of a metropolitan area. Fuel
cost, maintenance, transport capacity, pollution represent only a
small amount of the data that is taken into consideration in the
decision of purchasing a new fleet of urban buses for public
transport.
Electrification of the public transport is not a new solution;
there is the tram, the trolleybus. Is there going to be a place for
the electric bus taking into consideration the purchasing cost of
the bus, the battery need to be replaced, the weight of the bus,
the charging infrastructure, the limitations of the bus due to the
range of no more than 150 (km), battery charging time and road
gradient. It is possible that these limitations overcome the
benefit of zero local emissions reduced the cost of exploitation,
and almost no maintenance of the power-train, all of them
being immediate benefits of the electric buses use as a solution
in the urban transportation environment. |
