This module introduces the strategic foundations for developing successful eBRT systems. It explores the benefits of eBRT, its contribution to climate and mobility goals, integration with Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans, the role of feasibility studies, and the infrastructure and network planning required to create reliable, flexible and future-ready systems.
This module introduces the core technologies behind electric buses and their implications for fleet operation. It covers vehicle components and range, maintenance and safety requirements, and the key operational, technical and economic factors involved in selecting the right electric bus fleet.
This module explores the charging and energy systems required to operate electric bus fleets efficiently and reliably. It covers the main charging technologies, infrastructure design and placement, grid integration, and smart charging strategies that help optimize energy use, control costs and support scalable fleet electrification.
This module focuses on how eBRT services are planned, operated, monitored and continuously optimized. It covers timetable and resource planning, vehicle and crew scheduling, dispatch, operational control, Intelligent Transport Systems, real-time service regulation, eco-driving and performance management to deliver reliable, efficient and high-quality service.
This module explores the financial and procurement decisions that shape the delivery of an eBRT system. It examines CAPEX and OPEX structures, different procurement and ownership models, risk allocation, climate finance and funding instruments, helping project stakeholders understand how to structure financially viable and sustainable eBRT investments.
This module explores the policy, regulatory and institutional frameworks needed to support successful eBRT implementation and long-term operation. It covers supportive policies, technical and safety regulations, institutional coordination, governance models, financing mechanisms, data management and organizational capacity required to create resilient and sustainable eBRT systems.
