Coach Methane FC¤
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:
\[
ref_{size} = \dfrac{d_{annual} \cdot n_{lpv}}{8760 \cdot c_p}
\]
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.
Methane Fuel Cell¤
Methane fuel cell vehicles leverage the chemical energy of methane, CH4, to generate electricity through a fuel cell. These vehicles operate on the principle of converting methane directly into electrical energy, which then powers the vehicle’s electric motor.
