Abstract :
The Zero Emission Urban Bus System [ZeEUS] project, cofunded by the European Commission´s FP7 Programme and coordinated by UITP, aims to bring electrification to the heart of the urban bus network. Eight live urban demonstrations in six European countries will test and validate a range of plug-in hybrid, full electric and battery trolley buses with fast and slow charging strategies with different energy supply modes. The results and experiences gathered will help support decision makers with guidelines and tools on ´if´, ´how´ and ´when´ to introduce electric buses.
