The research of influencing factors on the electricity consumption of
electric buses Higer KLQ6125GEV3 in real working conditions is the result of
experimental measurements conducted on the EKO 1 line in Belgrade over a
long period which included typical seasonal periods (winter, summer,
transitional) of E-bus operation as well as characteristic periods of work
during the day (peak load, intermediate period, first/last departures). The
results of this research are the basis for reviewing and ranking the
influential factors on the electricity consumption of E-buses that are of
great importance in planning operations of the line, analysis of energy
efficiency and operating conditions.
, new line EKO 1 is established in Belgrade, where are five E-buses in operation. What are the experiences in exploitation in terms of realized transport, maintenance, electric consumption, environmental benefits as well as the satisfaction of passengers, who use the line EKO 1, are the subjects of this paper. In paper will also present future plans for further expansion of the network line in Belgrade, where the electric buses will operate.
The electric bus (E-bus) is a new concept of environmentally friendly and energy-efficient bus subsystem of public urban transport, which is increasingly present in many cities around the world. The introduction of this type of bus has a steady upward trend and is a major alternative to conventional buses. The paper gives a brief chronology of the most important events related to the application and introduction of electric buses around the world, the current state of the number of vehicles in operation, an overview of the electric bus market, and future directions of further development and implementation of this new concept in public transport, with a special emphasis on Europe.
The bus subsystem is the holder of the public transport function in many cities with a dominant representation of diesel-powered buses. In the last few years, electric buses (E-bus) have been increasingly used in many cities around the world (China, Europe, South America), making them the main alternative to conventional buses (diesel, CNG). The main advantages of using electric buses compared to conventional buses are higher energy efficiency, zero pollution emitted at the local level, more favorable carbon dioxide emissions observed at the regional or national level depending on the method of obtaining electricity, lower noise level. Since 2016, five electric buses have been operating in Belgrade on the EKO 1 line (Vukov spmenik-Belvil). The paper will present the environmental benefits of the use of electric buses observed through TTW (Tank to Wheel) and WTW (Well to Wheel) analysis, compared to diesel and CNG buses.
