Effort put into the decarbonization of public transportation requires a sharing of resources like research, best practice guidelines, first-hand experience, and funding. This is especially so in cities within developing countries. Providing a smooth and efficient transition to more sustainable modes of public transportation is an opportunity local and national decision-makers require. The problem that exists in developing cities is that decision-makers do not have a large body of research and experience-oriented development examples that are comparable to the city they represent. Benchmarking progress with regard to cities of similar type is an essential part to a wellinformed sustainable development of an electrified urban bus network. To mitigate this issue, the research develops a framework that attempts to establish stages of E-Bus development through the lens of activities, challenges, and transitional forces. It is then applied to Ho Chi Minh city, Vietnam to find that current progress can be accelerated through technicaleconomic temporal measures. Specifically, the research takes policy modeling and scaling to the route-level while adopting a prioritized transition timeline for the HCMC subsidize bus network. Inclusion of a prioritized depot electrification scheme is presented owing that E-Bus route service requires parallel development in charging station networks. This is all completed in context of clean technology buses remaining price competitive with diesel buses in terms of Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). Implications for methods of replicability are shown in the framework development. The case study results explain and illustrate how measures highlighted through the framework can help Ho Chi Minh city achieve a trajectory toward full urban electric bus network adoption by 2050. |
