Overview

Decision-framework modeling demonstrates lowest life-cycle emissions and costs with solid-state lithium-sulfur buses across major cities, highlighting viable urban transit electrification.

Key Points

Develop an integrated sustainability-based multi-objective decision-making framework to evaluate and optimize alternative-fuel bus technologies, focusing on advanced solid-state lithium-sulfur batteries across varied urban environments.
Formulated a sustainability-integrated multi-objective decision-making (SI-MODM) framework combining life-cycle assessment, battery upscale cost modeling, and strategic fleet optimization.
Evaluated advanced solid-state lithium-sulfur (ASSLiS) battery electric buses alongside diesel, hybrid, compressed natural gas, and lithium-ion (NMC-LIB) buses using real-world driving cycles from four U.S. cities (Atlanta, Chicago, Denver, and New York).
Battery electric buses powered by ASSLiS batteries achieved the lowest life-cycle carbon emission intensity among all evaluated transit technologies.
ASSLiS-powered electric buses achieved an average of 2.5% lower life-cycle costs compared to conventional lithium-ion electric buses and consistently featured in optimal fleet compositions across all studied cities.
