This study presents a technical-operational simulation to support the transition to electric buses in Greater Valparaíso, considering two transport lines (A and B) and two energy consumption scenarios (optimistic at 0.83 kWh/km and conservative at 1.05 kWh/km). In the higher consumption scenario, a failure to meet the minimum battery level (25% state of charge) was [...]

The battery electric bus fleet in Brazil has been gaining ground, with a greater presence in cities such as São Paulo, Belém, and Goiânia. To consolidate and compare the technical specifications of the models available in the domestic market, ICCT Brazil, within the framework of the ZEBRA partnership, co-led by C40 Cities, developed this analysis [...]

While urban electrification is progressing across India, intercity e-buses remain under supported and face unique financial and infrastructural bottlenecks that require targeted interventions. This study, part of the Zero Emission Bus Rapid-deployment Accelerator (ZEBRA) Partnership, identifies critical pathways to accelerate the deployment of intercity electric buses across India. Temporary here [...]

The implementation of battery electric buses in an urban public transportation system implies a systemic change that goes beyond technological substitution. Aspects such as vehicle range, charging duration, and available electrical capacity in garages become central and must be considered in fleet transition planning.To address one of the main questions of this process, this study [...]
