3. Central motor
+ Proven technology
+ Lower price
–Takes up space in
interior
– Comparatively loud

EVALUATION IN ELECTRIC MOTOR TECHNOLOGY
Mounted in axle
+ No interior intrusion
+ Quiet
+ Commonality in
parts and tyres
– HV training required
for work on axle/tyres
Wheel hub
+ Highest efficiency
+ Exceptionally quiet
–No commonality of
parts and tyres
– More susceptible to
shock damage

6. SOME TYPES OF BATTERIES
Fast chargingSlow charging
NMC (Lithium Nickel
Manganese Cobalt Oxide):
NMC has good overall
performance and excels
on specific energy. This
battery is the preferred
candidate for the electric
vehicle and has the
lowest self-heating rate.
6
LTO (Lithium titanate oxide):
excels in safety, low-
temperature performance
and life span. Efforts are
being made to improve
the specific energy and
lower cost.
Li-Iron-Phosphate: Li-
phosphate has excellent
safety and long life span but
moderate specific energy
and elevated self-discharge
LMP (Lithium Metal Polymer): are
stand out for their high
energy density and safety of
use. With its limited
sensitivity to temperature
variation, gives a competitive
advantage for applications like
level-floored electric buses
8. BATTERY CAPACITY VERSUS RANGE OF OPERATION
RANGE VS. BATTERY LIFE
250 km range required
x 1.3 kWh/km consumption
= 325 kWh battery ???
Depth of discharge (DOD) determines battery
degeneration
Strongest effect closest to full/empty battery
Limited DOD reduces range but extends battery life
90% DOD?
25% DOD?
9. WHAT IS THE TOP OBSTACLE TO THE INTRODUCTION OF
ELECTRIC BUSES IN AN EXISTING FLEET FACED BY ?
10. HIGH UPFRONT COST
E-bus = 2.5 x the price of a conventional bus
(battery=50-55% cost)
Charging infrastructure cost and installation
Fast charging infrastructure
Or…More buses (spare)
TCO models
11. CHALLENGING OPERATION
E-bus performance = conventional bus
performance?
A good analysis of the operational needs is key
Define the right type of E-Bus solution for the
operational needs
Losing flexibility & versatility?
12. PROCUREMENT & CONTRACTS
Functions sharing between stakeholders
Project governance including ALL actors
with a clear definition of roles &
responsibilities: PTA, PTO, Industry, Grid
Owner, Electricity Supplier, etc.
Who pays? At what cost? Who owns
rolling stock/infra?
Service/operation provider contract length &
extensions
Equipment ownership: what happens at the end of
a contract?
Modelling the tender evaluation criteria
