Abstract

The chapter aims to review the most popular topics and most commonly implemented solutions related to the introduction of electric buses into the urban transportation fleet. Primary problems are costs and battery charging technologies. The costs and the choice of charging technology depend on the preliminary estimation of the energy demand and the choice of tracks of electric bus. Energy saving in public transport is also a significant problem. Applying innovative technologies for powering and charging electric buses in practice is very challenging. The chapter presents the most frequently discussed topics concerning the problems of introducing electric bus to the public transport system based on selected recent publications of the matter.
