Bus CNG¤
Bus Technology Overview¤
The Bus technology category encompasses city buses designed specifically for urban transportation.
Bus Performance and Usage Metrics¤
The key performance and usage metrics for buses are outlined as follows:
- Annual Distance (dannual): City buses have an annual mileage of 56,000 km.
- Average Occupancy Rate (nlpv): The average occupancy rate is 14 passengers per vehicle, as reported by STM.
- Utilization Factor: The utilization factor is established at 35%, resulting of an average speed of 18 (km/h) 1.
- Reference Capacity: This yields a reference capacity of 63.89 passenger-kilometers per hour (pkm/h), determined using the formula:
\[
ref_{size} = \dfrac{d_{annual} \cdot n_{lpv}}{8760 \cdot c_p}
\]
Where cp represents the capacity utilization percentage.
CNG¤
Natural gas can be used in modified internal combustion engines. Compressed natural gas does, however, require more storage space than gasoline and diesel, since it is a gas rather than a liquid. A tank to store natural gas generally requires extra space in the trunk of the car or on the bed of the van. This space issue can, however, be resolved during construction, by installing the tank under the bodywork.
Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), primarily methane stored at high pressure, has an LHV of 35.8 [MJ/m3] and a density of 0.777 [kg/m3].
