Abstract
This guide begins by establishing the
minimum conditions that should be in place to consider a
technology feasible. This will be done in chapter two,
starting with the general local political context and
analysis of the project’s planning, and moving on to more
specific technical conditions for each technology regarding
energy vector availability and standards and regulations to
consider. Once the general context has been established,
chapter three presents a brief description of the technical
aspects of each technology, which involves considerations on
bus selection, fueling or charging infrastructure, energy
consumption and modes of operation. After going through this
chapter, the TTL should have a clear understanding of the
more technical or physical implications of each technology
and should have the tools to argue whether a technology
would be feasible. A detailed description of all CTBs is
presented in the Annex on bus technology and charging
infrastructure. It is strongly recommended that the
evaluator reads this annex before starting the evaluation.
In chapter four, a methodology for comparing the
environmental impact of each technology is presented. This
includes assessing the potential reduction in GHG emissions
of each vehicle technology, as well as local toxic
emissions. In chapter five, the economic performance of the
different technologies is assessed by estimating CAPEX and
OPEX expenditures and calculating the levelized cost of
ticket (LCOT) of the different technologies under varying
financial scenarios and considerations. Using the results
from the previous sections, Chapter six presents and
evaluates the cost-benefit of implementing each technology.
The guide concludes with chapter six, a results evaluation
and a discussion of the potential technical, environmental,
and financial risks the evaluator should consider for the
different technologies.
