Hybrid Buses Costs and Benefits
• Diesel exhaust contains ozone precursors, benzene, arsenic, dioxins, formaldehyde and other toxic substances and is a significant contributor to airborne concentrations of fine particulate matter (PM). Significant health impacts including lung damage and premature death are associated with exposure to fine particulate matter. It can also aggravate conditions such as asthma and bronchitis. Die...
متن کاملEquivalent consumption minimization strategies of series hybrid city buses
With ever growing concerns on energy crisis and environmental issues, alternative clean and energy efficient vehicles are favoured for public applications. Internal combustion engine(ICE)-powered series hybrid buses and fuel cell (FC) hybrid buses, respectively as a near-term and long-term strategy, have a very promising application prospect. The series hybrid vehicle utilizes an ICE/FC as the ...
متن کاملEvaluation of battery requirements for hybrid and electric city buses
This paper presents an evaluation of battery requirements for hybrid and electric city buses. Technical specifications of recently developed lithium based batteries and vehicle simulation results are used as basis for the evaluation. The battery requirements are evaluated in terms of power and energy capacity, calendar and cycle life as well as costs. Conventional diesel, parallel and series hy...
متن کاملAssessing the Costs for Hybrid versus Regular Transit Buses
The main reasons agencies consider hybrid transit vehicles are fuel savings and reduced emissions. Hybrid electric buses offer an attractive option and have the potential to reduce operating costs for transit agencies significantly. Wayne et al. (2009) estimated that use of diesel-electric hybrid buses in 15 percent of the US transit fleet could reduce fuel consumption by 50.7 million gallons o...

Richter Jr. et al., 13 March, p. 1432) was a much-needed and long-overdue contribution to energy discussions. However, fossil fuels are not four times more expensive than wood per unit energy. Rather, most fossil fuels are still less expensive than wood in...
