Feasibility Studies for Bus Fleet Electrification

Technical and economic consulting & concept development


Our feasibility study for bus fleet electrification provides you with guidance on the technically and economically viable transition of your bus fleet. It serves as a foundation to kick-start the transition by offering a clear understanding of various technologies, which are then tailored to your specific location and fleet.

Clear action recommendations will be provided regarding the transition to alternative drives (battery-electric vs. fuel cell) and the development of infrastructure. You will receive a detailed and tailored concept, including a cost estimate, which will enable you to apply for funding and move forward with concrete planning and implementation.

With our expertise in various sectors (e.g., mobility and renewable energy), we view infrastructure not as a standalone system but as part of the overall future energy system. Therefore, we integrate various optimization measures, such as the incorporation of renewable energy sources or storage solutions, to minimize the total cost of ownership (TCO) for the future fleet."
