“…The replacement and renewal strategies are clearly due to sustainability issues, thus apparently creating a gap for the electrification of the fleet. Following the statement, many studies [63][64][65][97][98][99] dedicate to resolve the difficulties regarding the slow implementation of BEBs by transit agencies. However, due to high investment costs, the need for new facilities, personnel training, and low revenue, transit agencies are quite sceptical of acquiring new technology [63].…”

The research on Bus Fleet Management (BFM) has undergone significant changes. It is unclear whether these changes are accepted as technological change or as a paradigm shift. Perhaps unintentionally, BFM is still perceived as routing and scheduling by some, and by others as maintenance and replacement strategy. Therefore, the authors conducted a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) to overview the existing concepts and school of thoughts about how stakeholders perceive the BFM. The SLR post-study exposed that BFM should be acknowledged as a multi-realm system rather than a uniform dimension of fulfilling timely service. Nonetheless, the work encapsulates BFM evolution which shows the need for the multi-realm research abstracted as "Bus Fleet Mobility Management" and "Bus Fleet Asset Management". The difficulties of transport agencies and their ability to switch from conventional to Zero-Emission Buses (ZEBs) illustrates why we propose such an agenda, by which the research is validated through needs both in academia and in practice.

“…Furthermore, the purchase, possession, and use of an EV may entail positive effects, such as tax breaks, the ability to drive on bus lanes, or free parking in city centers [7]. The most-explored subjects of scientific research in the field of EV market are: the role of electrification in public transport [8][9][10][11][12][13][14], personal transport devices (for example, electric scooters) [15,16], electric bicycles [17][18][19], or electric cars. Most studies on electric cars raise issues such as:  battery life and its optimization [20][21][22][23][24],  charging speed [25],  EV pricing policy [26],  charging stations for electric cars [27],  legal regulations and facilitations for holders [7],  business models in electric mobility [5,28],  ecology and environmental impact [1].…”

Striving to achieve sustainable development goals and taking care of the environment into the policies of car manufacturers forced the search for alternative sources of vehicle propulsion. One way to implement a sustainable policy is to use electric motors in cars. The observable development of the electric car market provides consumers with a wide spectrum of choices for a specific model that would meet their expectations. Currently, there are 53 different electric car models on the primary market in Poland. The aim of the article was to present the performed market segmentation, focused on identifying the similarities in the characteristics of electric car models on the Polish market and proposing their groupings. Based on the classification by the hierarchical cluster analysis algorithm (Ward’s method, squared Euclidean distance), the market division into 2, 3, and 4 groups was proposed. The Polish EV market segmentation took place not only in terms of the size and class of the car but primarily in terms of performance and overall quality of the vehicle. The performed classification did not change when the price was additionally included as a variable. It was also proposed to divide the market into 4 segments named: Premium, City, Small, and Sport. The segmentation carried out in this way helps to better understand the structure of the electric car market.

“…Both city authorities [3], municipal transport companies and bus manufacturers are involved in pursuing this goal [4]. Buses fleet electrification is possible by production of the new models or conversion existing vehicles [5][6]. It is noteworthy that the zero emissions of electric and electric-hydrogen buses at their place of use is just one of their many advantages.…”

The article describes the design and optimization of operation of an electric bus powered by the hydrogen fuel cells. At the beginning, an approach to design of a 12-meter urban bus, powered by hydrogen, is presented, as well as examples of components for its construction. Next, the problem of selecting the size of traction batteries and stacks of the Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) hydrogen fuel cells was discussed. These are the key components affecting the price of the bus and should be subject to optimization. The results of optimization of the size of traction batteries and the fuel cell system for a bus traveling in inter-city traffic are presented. The optimization was based on data from the literature and data from the monitoring system of actual hydrogen powered buses located on the Internet platform. The main purpose of the research, which was to determine the total costs of ownership (TCO), is presented as well.
