This report offers an overview of the economic potential for electric powertrains applied in urban bus fleets. Being recognised by an ever-growing number of national and regional authorities, electrified powertrains serve as an essential means to reduce our impact on both climate change and to improve local air quality. Due to a plummeting price for batteries over the last years, a tipping point for electric buses to break through is within reach. Therefore, governments need guidance to change course drastically and to go electric today, rather than to postpone the decision and to procure another batch of conventional (or in the best case non-plug-in hybrid/compressed natural gas) vehicles. For this reason, an analysis is made covering the total cost of ownership (TCO) of different urban bus powertrains on a technological level. These are conventional diesel, plug-in hybrid electric (PHEV), compressed natural gas (CNG) and their battery electric variants. For the latter, we distinguish two types of charging, i.e. overnight charging (also: ‘depot charging’) and opportunity charging over the course of the bus’s trajectory. The TCO includes the capital expenditure of the bus and its lifetime operational costs, including the required charging/refuelling infrastructure.
The outcome presented for this exercise results from both interviewing the most prominent bus and infrastructure manufacturers, while occasional gaps in their answers are filled with the available information from the literature. Thus, we present an update of previous TCO analyses and focus on the European market. This report starts with an overview of the main parameters for the TCO study, to be subsequently followed by a sensitivity analysis. Then, an estimation of the required copper content of the combination of an electric bus fleet and its infrastructure is presented. Finally, we compare the current situation to the expected market potential by 2025.

In 2011, the European Commission concluded in its white paper “Roadmap to a Single European Transport Area” that the phase-out of fossil fuels driven cars by 2050 was necessary to achieve its energy and climate objectives. In 2019, as part of the European Green Deal, the Commission is proposing to revise the regulation on CO2 standards for cars and vans, to ensure a clear pathway towards zero-emission mobility.
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions due to road transport have grown since 1990 by 20.5%, and now account for one-fifth of EU GHG emissions – and they keep growing. The picture is similar regarding final energy consumption. Road transport uses 24% of EU final energy, having grown by 28% since 1990.
The good news is that a zero-emission technology is ready today for market uptake: the battery electric vehicle. From day one this vehicle completely cuts local GHG and air pollutant emissions and emits three times less GHG emissions on a well-to-wheel basis. On a life cycle basis (“cradle to grave”), a battery electric vehicle also generates significantly less GHG emissions than cars using gasoline or diesel. Moreover, the full decarbonisation of the electricity system, which is foreseen well before 2050, will enable battery electric vehicles to make transport fully climate-neutral.
Electrifying road transport is also the fastest and most cost-effective way to achieve energy efficiency goals because it is the asset with the highest replacing rate (average car ownership period 5-7 years1)and is currently at least 2.5 times more efficient than alternative technologies.
On 28 November 2019 the European Parliament declared a climate emergency and its Members asked for immediate and ambitious action to limit the effects of climate change2. Battery electric vehicles are ready to contribute to addressing this challenge. What is needed now is to accelerate the deployment of full electric vehicles.
Copper is one of the main materials that makes this transition possible. On average a battery electric vehicle requires three times more copper than a vehicle driven by a combustion engine. Half of it is in the battery system, mainly as foil in the anode of the cell working as current collector and heat dissipator. About one quarter is in the drive motors and their control system, and the other quarter is in wire harness, connectors and electronics. In addition, copper plays a role in the charging infrastructure and in the generation of renewable electricity to power the vehicles.
