“…Bus demand for electricity depends on battery type, driving cycle and style, number of stops, traffic level, elevation profile [69,70], and weather conditions including temperature and humidity [8]. In order to improve the driving style, and thus reduce the bus's energy demand, various technological solutions are proposed, for example, the robotized manual gearbox [56,71,72]. Cost effectiveness also varies depending on the energy storage systems in electric buses [71,73] and the choice of charging technology [74].…”

Nearly two-thirds of the emissions that cause smog come from road transport. In April 2019, the European Parliament adopted new regulations on public procurement to encourage investment in clean buses—electric, hydrogen, or gas. Directive 2009/33/EC is to apply from the second half of 2021. The aim of this article is to make an attempt to simulate the number of zero-emission buses (ZEB) in European Union (EU) member countries in two time horizons: 2025 and 2030, and to forecast the number of clean vehicles in the precise time horizons, including before and after 2050. Research questions are as follows: (1) what will be the number of ZEBs in individual EU countries over the next few years; (2) which of the EU countries will reach by 2030 the level of 95% share of ZEBs in all buses, which are a fleet of public transport buses; and (3) in which year will which EU countries reach the level of 95% share of zero-emission buses. The method used is a Bass model. The conducted analyses demonstrate that, by 2050, only four of the EU members will be able to reach 95% level of share of clean buses in the city bus transport fleets. It is likely that other countries may not achieve this even by 2050.

“…In addition, it also involves significant costs in replac-ing the battery at the end of its lifetime. Reducing the capacity of the battery can be achieved by increasing the charging power to 300 -600 kW as a result of which it is possible to significantly reduce its capacity up to 60 -90 kWh leading to a reduction in the weight and dimensions of the battery [17,18]. Charging the electric bus, however, requires the vehicle to be out of operation for a period of about 10-20 minutes.…”

Since the world pollution has been increased, the need for eco-solutions is alarming. One solution is electric vehicles, which have been rapidly developed in recent years. Those vehicles are energy efficient and emission free, but the initial costs can be much higher in comparison to other vehicles. This paper would focus on the methods of charging power and battery requirements as well as energy consumption. Analyzing the methods of charging for achieving environmentally friendly cities, as well as comparisons between the methods will greatly support the development of strategies for achieving zero emissions.
