The Electrification of Bus Services in London
This presentation will examine the technical, economic, and environmental cases for electrifying London’s bus fleet. One of the world’s most high-profile cities, London suffers severe air quality problems in its inner-city areas which need to be addressed as a matter of urgency. With over 9,000 buses serving some 350 different routes across the capital, and despite the recent introduction of significant numbers of hybrid buses, the city presents an ideal case for examining the benefits of an all-electric bus fleet. The work presented will look at the duty cycle profiles and energy requirements for a variety of different routes, and propose an electrification strategy which best meets the overall needs of the city measured by the ‘triple bottom line’ of financial, social, and environmental benefit. In particular, the presentation will define various options for providing the necessary electric power infrastructure and put forward an assessment of the alternative approaches.
