Imagine a city bus system that works like a subway but uses electric buses on the road. It uses smart tech to drive more smoothly and connect with other transport, making trips faster and cleaner. It's like upgrading a standard bus line into a high-tech, zero-emission express lane.
Cities struggle with high transport emissions, traffic congestion, and expensive public transit operations. Current bus systems lack the efficiency and connectivity needed to replace private cars.
A new generation of full electric BRT systems including hardware, software, and charging infrastructure. This includes a comprehensive report titled 'On the Road to a Concept for BRT'.
If you are a municipal transport authority dealing with high operational costs and pollution — this project developed a new EBRT concept that reduces cost per km/passenger by 10% and pollutant emissions by 70%. This allows for a more efficient, high-quality service for citizens.
If you are a charging station manufacturer dealing with inefficient urban power grids — this project developed charging infrastructure and IoT connectivity that helps lower the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) by 10%. This creates a standardized blueprint for deploying electric bus fleets at scale.
If you are a smart city software provider dealing with heavy traffic congestion — this project developed automation and connectivity functionalities that reduce traffic congestion by 10%. This enables better integration of buses into the wider urban mobility scenario.
The project aims to reduce the cost per kilometer per passenger by 10% and the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) by 10%.
Yes, the project is demonstrating innovative solutions in real operation across six European cities and one international city, with further studies in South America and East Africa.
Based on available project data, specific licensing terms are not mentioned, but the project focuses on defining a new European concept for BRT by 2030.
The project targets a 70% reduction in greenhouse gas and pollutant emissions through the transition to full electric BRT systems.
The project period runs from 2023-01-01 to 2026-12-31, indicating the final results will be ready by the end of 2026.
The consortium is heavily industry-driven, with 36 industrial partners representing 63% of the 57 total members. This strong commercial presence, combined with 8 SMEs and 14 countries, suggests a high focus on market viability and practical deployment rather than pure academic research.
