With a dynamically growing EV market, battery chemistry is expected to evolve to meet the changing needs of consumers and manufacturers. In electric buses, battery technology is extremely critical considering the safety, performance parameters and high asset utilization basis using NMC batteries.
The adoption of battery electric buses (BEBs) has gained significant momentum in the public transportation sector due to their environmental and energy-saving merits. Nonetheless, challenges such as limited driving range and battery degradation, to some extent, hinder the extensive deployment of BEBs.
In electric buses, battery technology is extremely critical considering the safety, performance parameters and high asset utilization basis using NMC batteries. JBM focuses its R&D efforts on advancing its Lithium Iron Phosphate battery technology, delivering the highest standard for safety, longevity and reliability.
For instance, the bus fleet in Shenzhen, China, had been fully upgraded to the battery electric bus (BEB) in early June 2017, with over 16,000 BEBs in operation now (IAA Mobility, 2023).
The collaboration, which is part of FirstGroup’s bus fleet and infrastructure decarbonisation programme, will provide batteries for First Bus’s expanding electric bus fleet, helping to make a positive impact on air quality, tackle congestion and improve customer experience.
Liu et al. (2021b) introduced a unique optimization model to optimize the location of electric bus charging stations, charger configuration, charging time, and vehicle flow. Their model takes into account power matching and seasonality effect to enhance its effectiveness and suitability for real-world scenarios.
