A battery electric bus energy consumption model for strategic purposes: Validation of a proposed model structure with data from bus fleets in China and Norway

Odd Andre Hjelkrem et al.

Summary: This paper proposes an energy model for battery electric buses (Ebus) that can accurately estimate energy consumption with limited input requirements and introduces a comprehensive model of auxiliary systems. Data from Ebus trips in China and Norway was used to evaluate the model, showing its ability to predict energy consumption at a trip level.
