Electric and hybrid electric buses for public transport
[...]
The main objective of the use case is to provide the best possible public transport service using a 'clean' bus fleet in areas which lack high-quality public transport services. The environmental performance and attractiveness of the city of Madrid’s public transport service will thus, in general, improve as a result, and be better suited to compete with private car use. This experience is also used to better know the performance of these types of buses and therefore to help better define Madrid’s own strategy on fleet renewal.
