2023-09 SUSTAINABLE BUS
A new issue of Sustainable Bus is out today. In this upcoming edition, we’ve curated a diverse and comprehensive range of topics that spotlight the latest developments in the world of sustainable mobility. From cutting-edge technological advancements to market insights and industry transformations, this issue promises to be a captivating exploration of the future of public transportation. What you could fine inside? Well, a market insight will offer you a detailed look at the European e-bus market, providing you with a comprehensive understanding of the mid-2023 results. The leading e-bus market in Europe is still UK: therefore, we focused our attention on that specific market with a report that sums up strategies, focus, goals of the most prominent industry players. A technology spotlight on the delicate topic of batteries, authored by Claudius Jehle, look at battery management and strategies to ensure the smooth and cost-effective operation of electric buses (with a focus on a case study from BVG). Among the pillars of our upcoming issue you’ll find a detailed journey around the European industrial bus&coach landscape. Goal? Providing our readers insights into the changing dynamics among key OEMs in the region. We’ll be then taking you behind the scenes at the Yutong factory in Zhengzhou, that we had the pleasure of visiting in June. Let’s then delve into Iveco Bus’s growing efforts in the zero-emission bus field. Finally, last but not least, a nearly-20-pages comparison between seven 12-meter battery-electric buses, gathered together in Bonn also this year by the German magazine Omnibusspiegel. You’ll find both established players and newcomers side by side: Ebusco 3.0, Hess lighTram 12m, Ikarus 120e, Iveco E-Way, Mercedes eCitaro with new batteries, Otokar e-Kent C, Quantron Cizaris 12 Ev.

INFRASTRUCTURE<br />
WASHINGTON ZERO. EMISSION.<br />
Washington D.C? No, Washington Z.E., namely<br />
zero emission. Washington Metropolitan Area Transit<br />
Authority, in fact, received a $104 million grant from<br />
the Federal Transit Administration in order to convert<br />
Cinder Bed Road Bus Garage to exclusively serve battery-electric<br />
buses. The Low or No Emission Vehicle<br />
grant will help Washington Metro achieve its accelerated<br />
timeline to transition nine bus garages and nearly<br />
1,600 buses to zero-emission technologies by 2042.<br />
Washington Metro is partnering with Fairfax County<br />
on the conversion of the Cinder Bed Road facility, a<br />
portion of which is planned to be used by the county<br />
to house and charge their all-electric Bus Rapid Transit<br />
service running from Fort Belvoir to Huntington Metrorail<br />
Station by 2030. The grant will also support the<br />
purchase of battery-electric Metrobuses for the region,<br />
and workforce development and training.<br />
This summer, Metro received delivery of the first two<br />
of 12 battery-electric buses as part of its first phase of<br />
zero-emission bus deployment. Metro transition plan<br />
includes the purchase of new buses, supporting charging<br />
infrastructure and upgrades to bus facilities. In<br />
addition to Cinder Bed Road, Metro’s new Northern<br />
and Bladensburg bus garages, which are under construction,<br />
are being built to support zero-emission buses,<br />
as will the new Western Bus Garage being planned.<br />
“Transitioning our bus fleet to zero-emissions vehicles<br />
will provide customers with a better experience<br />
and help Metro achieve its mission to be a climate<br />
change solution for the National Capital Region”,<br />
said Metro General Manager and Chief Executive<br />
Officer Randy Clarke.<br />
RIDE CLEAN<br />
Ready to switch to H2?<br />
City and regional transit managers agree: the total cost of ownership (TCO) for<br />
hydrogen-fueled buses will soon match diesel vehicles. To put H2 buses and coaches<br />
in service at scale, manufacturers need suppliers with knowhow and experience. That’s<br />
where we come in. Our<br />
on-board fueling systems for compressed H2 arrive<br />
complete with type-3 or -4 cylinders, gas street components, and frames. Now you<br />
can drop fleet emissions while maintaining the same maintenance, fueling, and route<br />
schedules as with diesel buses.<br />
