Coach BioDiesel¤
Intercity Coach Bus Description¤
The Intercity Coach Bus is designed for high-capacity, long-distance passenger transportation, providing a crucial link between cities with a focus on comfort and efficiency.
Intercity Coach Bus Performance Metrics¤
- Capacity: It is equipped to carry 15 or more passengers.
- Annual Distance (dannual): The coach operates over an impressive annual distance of 140,000 km.
- Average Occupancy Rate (nlpv): With an average occupancy of 40 passengers per vehicle.
- Capacity Factor: Assuming a 20% capacity utilization.
- Reference Capacity: Consequently, a reference capacity of 3,196.35 passenger-kilometers per hour (pkm/h) is calculated.
The reference capacity is computed using the formula:
Where cp represents the capacity utilization percentage. This calculation takes into account the annual distance covered, the average number of passengers, and the capacity utilization factor to provide a clear picture of the Intercity Coach Bus’s performance and contribution to public transport infrastructure.
B100 Biodiesel¤
B100 Biodiesel fuel is a diesel alternative derived entirely from biomass. It runs on 100% biodiesel, contributing to carbon emissions reductions in comparison to fossil fuels. Only blends of biodiesel and petroleum diesel containing 7% vol. or less of biodiesel can be used in diesel engines without modification. Pure biodiesel (B100) requires engine modifications to avoid maintenance and performance problems.
Model Remarks:¤
The model treats vehicles that use biodiesel and those that use traditional diesel as equivalent in technical aspects. It is worth noting that in the current version of QC EnergyScope, biodiesel is treated the same as diesel and will require modification in a future version.
