Abstract

Flexible and economic systems for full electric operation of road vehicles are an area of intense research and development. This report applies such systems to the operation of all city buses in Lund."br /" Software for simulation and economic optimization of such systems is developed and a few system designs are presented. An attempt to a realistic cost and performance estimate of the main components is presented. All buses are assumed to operate at the same schedule as today. Under some of the assumptions these systems are shown to be cheaper than diesel and gas buses in addition to"br /" being quieter and without local pollution. Document type: Report
