Abstract: Abstract In this contribution the planning and optimization of a mixed electric and diesel bus fleet for a municipal transportation company is presented. The goal and objective is to maximize the driven electric mileage without expanding the total number of buses in the fleet. Boundary conditions are driving schedules and timetable planning must be hold. Moreover, buses are to be charged exclusively in the depot. No opportunity charging outside the depot is allowed due to costs of additional installations. Based on an existing timetable, cycles are identified which can be driven with a parametrizable battery capacity. Furthermore, climatic conditions and weight of batteries, which are incorporated into the specific energy requirement per kilometer, are modeled.
