“…The literature reveals significant progress in battery chemistry, such as lithium-ion batteries (Li-ion), which have become the standard in electrical vehicles. Researchers have explored strategies to enhance energy density, increase charge/discharge rates, and improve overall battery performance Deliali et al 2021;Du et al 2019). However, from the analysis of literature challenges such as limited driving range, long charging times, and the environmental impact of battery production and disposal remain areas of concern and have been identified as critical areas to be addressed.…”

“…Under the extended warranty period of 10 years, most maintenance work is undertaken by OEMs, and the remaining maintenance costs fall on operator labour (World Bank 2021). Based on the literature review, the maintenance cost of e-buses is estimated to be 50 percent of that for diesel buses (Quarles et al 2020;Deliali et al 2021).…”

“…Because reliable supply chains for spare vehicle components are lacking, the maintenance cost for hydrogen buses remains high (NREL 2021). Without any pilot on hydrogen buses and localised maintenance data, the study assumes current maintenance costs for hydrogen buses are 30 percent higher than for diesel buses based on literature review (Deliali et al 2021), and that future maintenance costs will be the same as for diesel buses.…”

“…In the pre-COVID scenario, most of the SRTUs were suffering heavy financial losses, and the situation has further degraded during the COVID-19 pandemic. The cost of purchasing one electric or hydrogen fuel cell bus is almost three and ten times that of a CNG and a diesel-powered bus respectively (Deliali et al, 2021). To achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and sustainable growth, an optimistic point of view needs to be taken towards electric and hydrogen buses.…”

According to WHO, India's transportation sector accounts for 11% of its CO2 emissions. Sustainable energy-based bus transportation systems are a necessity in Indian context. However, factors like capital cost, refueling infrastructure, etc. are also important as most State Road Transport Undertakings (SRTUs) are operating in severe losses. This study evaluates the most effective fuel-based bus transport system in the Indian context through the comparative analysis of electric buses, hydrogen fuel cell buses, compressed natural gas (CNG) buses, and conventional diesel buses. Multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) approach was employed through the use of Fuzzy AHP-Fuzzy TOPSIS tool. Electric buses were found to be the best alternative, and the stakeholders placed less importance on noise levels and rated the initial cost of buying a bus, tailpipe emissions, and operating costs as major determining parameters. The findings may help national and state-level decision-making agencies in planning for the future sustainable bus systems.
