“A decision-support framework for selecting new energy bus technologies: Assessing battery electric and hydrogen fuel cell buses”
Battery electric or hydrogen fuel cell buses: which technology is most suitable, and what factors should guide this decision?
In our new paper, we develop a hybrid decision-support framework to compare battery electric buses (BEBs), hydrogen fuel cell buses (FCBs), and mixed fleets. The study evaluates technology choices based on 31 criteria spanning economic, institutional, technological, environmental, managerial, and social dimensions.
The results show that economic factors are the most influential, followed by institutional and technological considerations. BEBs rank highest overall for current urban systems, while FCBs remain competitive where operational flexibility is important. Interestingly, academic and industry experts differ in their preferences: academics tend to favour BEBs, while industry experts show a stronger preference for FCBs, highlighting the importance of incorporating stakeholder perspectives in technology selection.
