UITP Eurasia Conference 2024 - Clean Energy Vehicles in Public Transport

Workshop Day is a pre-conference and ”member-only” event.

12:00 – 12:30 Workshop Opening

12:30 – 14:30 Workshop 1: LCCA for Different Options of E-bus
Deploying e-buses requires a systematic approach, including Life Cycle Cost (LCC) analysis to calculate the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). This involves accounting for vehicle acquisition, operational, maintenance, and other costs (financial, insurance, licensing, administrative) over the e-bus system’s economic lifetime. Calculating TCO for various options helps decision-makers to perform informed economic choices.

15:00 – 17:00 Workshop 2: Route Analysis & Battery Capacity
E-bus operations and battery capacity are closely linked, requiring specific technical requirements based on schedules and conditions. E-bus operations differ significantly from traditional buses, including line management, maintenance, training, and safety. Proper planning is crucial, as battery electric buses have different autonomy and may need a larger fleet. Studying operational needs and designing lines based on energy supply and usage is essential for successful e-bus implementation.
