Insights into the energy usage distribution of electric buses
The speed of zero-emission bus adoption can be determined in part by energy predictions. When kicking off the fleet-electrification process, the initial costs may seem high. However, in the long run, an electric fleet is more sustainable and cost-efficient than a traditional one.
For this to happen, understanding the energy distribution of electric buses (eBuses) is key.
Knowing how much energy goes toward moving the bus versus its accessories can help operators to better plan daily operations and future investments.
