ECONOMIC EVALUATION OF ELECTRIC TWO-MODE VEHICLE. THE CASE OF A NEW TOWN

EVALUATION ECONOMIQUE DU BI-MODE ELECTRIQUE. LE CAS D'UNE VILLE NOUVELLE

The concept of the two-mode bus emerged in the 1970's. The new town of Evry has adopted this solution for internal public transport services. First studies stressed the technical and economic difficulties which could arise in the development of such a system. A cost benefit study was conducted for the town of Evry and four different technologies were considered. This report gives data on predicted journeys and studies the various alternatives: buses, trolley buses, two-mode vehicles and tramways. (TRRL)
