ECOLOGY AND ENERGY ASPECTS OF EXPLOITATION FULLY ELECTRICAL BUSES ON THE NEW LINE IN PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION BELGRADE

Buses with fully electric drive are present in many cities of Europe, Asia and America. City of Belgrade and JKP GSP ''Beograd'' (City Public Transport Company'' Belgrade'' ), following the positive experience of the public transport companies which have started the exploitation of buses with electric drive, will plan the beginning of the regular exploitationin in September 2016, with 5 electrical buses on a new line EKO 1 (Vukov spomenik-''Belvil''). It will be the first step in a long-term strategy of using buses with electric drive. This paper presents the first results and the effects of their use in the public transport in Belgrade in terms of exploitation, ecology and energy efficiency.
