    Improving storage efficiency in electric buses by Mike Rycroft, features editor The development of battery powered electric vehicles has been focused mainly on private passenger vehicles, while public transport seems to have been neglected. A reassessment of the journeys public transport vehicles make has led to the development of battery powered buses and bus rapid transit (BRT) systems. Several trial systems are in successful operation at various locations around the world, and there is a growing interest in this sector of the electric vehicle (EV) market. Electric powered public mass transport lanes, and electric vehicle technology is batteries and super- and ultra-capacitors has been in use for many years in the finding an increasing application in the than would be possible in a private vehicle. form of trams, trolley buses, subway battery driven electric bus (BDEB) public If the electric car has been successfully trains and other forms of transport, and transport sector. developed to replace the liquid fuel the components and controls for such vehicle, should the same not be applied The electric passenger car was developed vehicles are well developed.

    Electric Commercial Vehicles (ECV) Final report VTT TECHNOLOGY Transport and mobility are in the middle of a major transition to 3 4 8 large-scale electrification of a large range of vehicles, mobility use cases and fleets. Energy efficiency and low emissions are the main benefits of electrical propulsion. With the continuing development of the key technologies, system implementations and new business models, the economic benefits are also emerging fast - first in professional and commercial operation and fleets, later in private mobility. This report summarises main results and findings from a Finnish project entity Electric Commercial Vehicles (ECV).

  • TOSA – Concept a Full Electric Large Capacity Urban Bus System Abstract
    Swiss mobility days, Martigny, 07.04.2016, Olivier Augé/Global Product Manager & Innovation Agent ,ABB Sécheron TOSA – Concept A full electric large capacity urban bus system Abstract 15 seconds is the time needed at bus stops to disembark and embark passengers. That’s also the time we need to put some energy into the full electric TOSA large capacity bus. Like a trolleybus, the TOSA bus collects the required energy during its journey, but without overhead lines. Like an overnight charging battery bus, TOSA has autonomy to ensure the service, but with a small and long-life battery - no oversizing and limited recycling. At first glance, it looks like a paradox, but by selecting the appropriate technology and ensuring management of energy within the most optimal operating range means that a small battery has a much longer life time than the one used in an overnight charging battery bus. The technical architecture of this opportunity-charging principle, that we call Flash charging, will be presented along with its operational, economical and energy efficiency requirements. To achieve the energy transfer in such a short time, this bus has a laser controlled moving arm that connects to an overhead receptacle at some bus stops, e.g. every forth in Line 23. The docking procedure is fast, achieved in less than a second. The first TOSA articulated bus has been running in Geneva since May 2013. Concept and experience from the field will be shared, as well as the configuration for deployment on the full line 23 in Geneva by 2017. © ABB April 15,

  • Exploring Low-Carbon Bus Options for Urban BRT Systems: the Case of Amman Journal of Public Transportation
    Journal of Public Transportation | scholarcommons.usf.edu/jpt Vol. 22 No. 1 [2020] pp. 57-75 Exploring Low-Carbon Bus Options for Urban BRT Systems: The Case of Amman Journal of Public Transportation Exploring Low-Carbon Bus Options for Urban BRT Systems: The Case of Amman Rana Imam The University of Jordan Seong-Cheol Kang and Diana Quezada Global Green Growth Institute Abstract Being able to provide high-quality, metro-like transit service at a fraction of the cost of other options, bus rapid transit (BRT) has been viewed as one of the most cost-effective public mass transport systems suitable for urban areas. Since significant amounts of greenhouse gas (GHG) and air pollutant emissions are attributed to the transport sector, deploying low-carbon buses for BRT systems should be of high priority. With a view to promoting low-carbon buses instead of diesel buses for a BRT system currently being planned in Amman, Jordan, this paper evaluates several low-carbon bus options—hybrid, plug-in hybrid, opportunity charging, trolleybus, and battery electric bus—against the baseline case of diesel buses. While low-carbon buses reduce GHG and air pollutant emissions often considerably, they usually require higher upfront capital costs and additional infrastructure investments. On the other hand, they tend to incur lower energy and maintenance costs and have a longer lifetime, particularly battery electric buses. All these advantages and disadvantages are included in the assessment of low-carbon bus options relative to diesel buses. For the trunk routes of the Amman BRT, the analysis shows that the opportunity charging bus can be the most appealing option, having a positive internal rate of return (IRR) for the incremental investment costs.

There is however a growing recognition that to do this, urban air quality must be improved. Having a high quality, attractive bus network is integral to that but only by transforming our bus fleets and reducing emissions will the true potential of the bus be unleashed. The West Midlands Transport Emissions Framework, which was agreed by West Midlands ITA leaders in January 2016, signifies the increased importance of air quality in the transport agenda and the Low Emission Bus Delivery plan was a key part of this. The formation of the new West Midlands Combined Authority and the new Bus Alliance that brings together bus operators, local councils and other partners provides a unique opportunity to bring stakeholders together to deliver that transformation. The Bus Alliance has already identified reducing emissions and improving air quality as a key objective and this Low Emission Bus Delivery Plan sets out a framework for effectively driving that ambition forward.

  • Ventura County Electric Vehicle Ready Blueprint
    Ventura County Electric Vehicle Ready Blueprint Prepared by: VCREA, Community Environmental Council, and EV Alliance Funded by the EV Ready Communities Challenge Grant from the California Energy Commission July 2019 Executive Summary and Document Guide The Ventura County Electric Vehicle Ready Blueprint is intended to accelerate and support electric vehicle and charging infrastructure deployment throughout Ventura County. Development of the Blueprint was funded by a competitive grant award from the California Energy Commission. The project team of Ventura County Regional Energy Alliance, Community Environmental Council, and EV Alliance has collaboratively developed the Blueprint framework to spur rapid adoption of electric vehicles in the region, in alignment with the State of California’s goal to deploy 5 million Zero Emission Vehicles by 2030. Electric vehicles are a truly transformative technology, as they emit zero tailpipe emissions, reduce greenhouse gas emissions by about 70 percent per mile compared to a gasoline vehicle (up to 100 percent for the many parts of Ventura County that utilize 100 percent clean energy), and achieve over 100 miles per gallon equivalent, allowing fueling costs as low as $1.50 per gallon equivalent. As transportation makes up about half of Ventura County’s greenhouse gas emissions, transitioning to zero emission vehicles is an urgent and critical element of local climate action. The vision for the Ventura County Blueprint is to develop replicable models for statewide transportation electrification that will make electric vehicles and other clean mobility options fully accessible to everyone in our communities. The Blueprint’s comprehensive recommendations are intended to help local policymakers and community and business stakeholders take bold action to further accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles and expand access to charging infrastructure.
