Influencing factors on electricity consumption of electric bus in real operating conditions

The research of influencing factors on the electricity consumption of electric buses Higer KLQ6125GEV3 in real working conditions is the result of experimental measurements conducted on the EKO 1 line in Belgrade over a long period which included typical seasonal periods (winter, summer, transitional) of electric bus operation as well as characteristic periods of work during the day (peak load, intermediate period, first/last departures). The results of this research are the basis for reviewing and ranking the influential factors on the electricity consumption of electric buses that are of great importance in planning operations of the line, analysis of energy efficiency and operating conditions.
