The number of options available to transit fleets is growing and the pressures to select the “optimal” propulsion technology are also increasing. Given that there is no one optimal bus for an entire transit system, there´s a need to optimize the fleet, identifying the most appropriate mix of technologies reflecting the system´s requirements and realities. This presentation will discuss factors to be evaluated as well as the measurement and analytical technology enabling objective calculations on a per route basis. This 360° analysis facilitates the optimal propulsion technology purchase decision and demonstrates the validity of electric bus technology.
