Eunomia were commissioned by Brussels-based campaign group Transport and Environment to identify the key success factors in the deployment of electric bus (e-bus) networks across Europe. These factors are intended to guide municipalities and operators in the effective implementation of e-buses in their jurisdictions.
Researching 13 case studies across Europe, including the UK, Eunomia produced a longlist of factors, which were then compared and cross-checked to identify shared points and themes. These were then grouped into 5 key success factors, with the case studies mapped against these factors to illustrate which factors were most prominent in each example.
The 5 key factors were:
- Political leadership
- Financial support
- Trialling, monitoring and evaluation
- Proactive and innovative procurement
- A considered and integrated design of e-bus services
