Jul 19, 2018 · Charged with the national electricity mix, an electric bus produces 1,078 grams CO 2 e per mile, while a natural gas bus produces 2,364 grams CO 2 e per mile and a diesel-hybrid produces 2,212 grams CO 2 e per mile.

Jul 23, 2018 · Expressed in grams of carbon dioxide equivalent per mile, electric buses using the average U.S. grid mix produce less than half the emissions of a diesel hybrid or a natural gas bus, the study...

Apr 10, 2018 · Key findings in the report, Electric Buses in Cities: Driving Towards Cleaner Air and Lower CO2, authored by BNEF on behalf of the C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group, highlight e-buses’ competitiveness with conventional diesel and CNG fueled buses.

Our bus and coach carbon footprint calculator is a tool designed to calculate the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions associated with bus and coach travel. This can help individuals, companies, and policymakers to understand the environmental impact of these forms of transportation and make informed decisions about travel and transportation policies.

‘Cities around the world are introducing electric buses, driven by growing concerns over urban air quality, carbon emissions and potential operational cost savings’.

An electric bus emits 62% fewer emissions than an average diesel bus. Why it matters: • Transit agencies are adopting lower-carbon fuels and technologies. • Electricity was 29% less carbon-intensive in 2018 than 2005, on average in the U.S. • As cities seek to meet climate goals transportation emissions reductions are essential.

Feb 19, 2024 · We analyze the life cycle emissions of transit buses powered by electricity, diesel, gasoline, and compressed natural gas and model GHGs and air pollutants mitigated for a transition to a fully electric U.S. public transit bus fleet using transit agency-level data.

Jan 24, 2025 · With buses accounting for more than 50% of public transport trips worldwide, electrifying urban buses at scale is a crucial move to lower emissions, boost economies, and make cities more livable.

Feb 29, 2024 · UNEP seeks to address the significant emissions and public health burden of urban bus fleets by supporting soot-free engine technologies, including electric engines. This will impact a combined 234 million people, preventing approximately 3,700 premature deaths and as much as 6.6 MMT CO2e (GWP-20) by 2030 (or 1.7 MMT CO2e GWP-100).

Mar 12, 2025 · Reducing carbon dioxide emissions in transportation has become a priority for achieving emission targets. Transitioning to electric vehicles significantly decreases global CO2 emissions and reduces urban noise and air pollution. The selection of efficient charging strategies for electric bus fleets substantially influences their environmental impact. This study analyzes the charging strategy ...
