Abstract
Various modes of city passenger transport are being analyzed in the paper. The ecological efficiency of transport based on CO2 emissions data for vehicles consuming various types of fuel is investigated. An automated calculation algorithm to compare initial and operating costs for conventional and hybrid buses consuming diesel fuel and gas with an electric bus having an autonomous ride range of 15, 60 and 250 km is developed. The calculation used correction factors reflecting the rising cost of fuel and electricity with the reducing cost of lithium-ion batteries per kWh. For the calculation of initial expenses the costs of equipment and charging stations are summed up, and for operating expenses the cost of maintenance, fuel and electricity for traction and heating, and payroll of drivers have been taken into account together with the replacement of batteries considering their limited cycle life.
