Bus Diesel¤
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:
Where cp represents the capacity utilization percentage.
Diesel¤
An internal combustion engine (ICE) is a type of heat engine where fuel combustion takes place inside a chamber. This causes an increase in temperature and pressure. This pressure is then applied directly to pistons, rotors or a nozzle, which converts the thermal energy of combustion into mechanical energy to move the vehicle. However, this combustion generates numerous substances with potential impacts on human health and the environment, including :
-
Carbon Dioxide (CO2): a GHG contributing to climate change and ocean acidification.
-
Nitrogen Oxides (NOx): precursors to the formation of photochemical ozone (smog), which promotes respiratory problems, and causes, among other things, the acidification of terrestrial and aquatic environments and the eutrophication of the marine environment.
-
Particle Matter (PM): potentially causing respiratory problems when inhaled.
-
Carbon Monoxide (CO): considered toxic to humans and animals.
Diesel engines, which also run on biodiesel and synthetic fuels, do not require spark plugs but rely on fuel vapour compression to trigger combustion.
Diesel fuel has an LHV of 11.83 [kWh/kg], making it a common choice for heavy-duty transportation due to its high energy density and efficiency.
