Buses that pollute less. Investigation of technological potentials; Miljoevenlige busser. Undersoegelse af teknologiske muligheder

Abstract

The aim was to give an evaluation of the potentials of various techniques for making buses less pollutive. Results will be used in connection with a Danish evaluation of concrete programmes for protecting the environment as a whole. The described technologies are still in the process of development, so this results in a certain amount of uncertainty in some relations. Diesel engines, catalytic converters, natural gas and liquefied petroleum gases as fuels (in connection with lean burning and with a catalytic converter) methanol and ethanol, the hybrid bus and reduction of the vehicle`s weight and noise pollution are dealt with in relation to low emission. Data are given as to the emissions, cost benefits etc. (AB) 30 refs.
