� BUS : Fleet of 545 buses

� 480 equipped for people with reduced mobility (88%)

� 248 buses are fueled with Natural Gaz (46%)

� 1223 drivers (bus and tram)

� 3 bus depots : Langlade, Atlanta and En Jacca (new)

� 79 lines with 5 main lines covering 30% of bus trips

� The stakes in terms of energy consumption, CO2 related emissions, and image :

441 standard buses x 45 litres/100 km x 40 000 km/year = 8 millions litres/year

82 articulated buses x 58,5 litres/100 km x 40 000 km/year = 2 millions litres/year

22 midi/minibus

Consumption: 10 millions litres of diesel a year – Economy target: 66% - 6,6 millions litres a year - 7 millions euros/year

CO2 emissions: 1,47 kg/km for standard buses ; 1,9 kg/km for articulated buses

Emissions: 32 100 tons – Reduction target: 66% - 21 120 tons of CO2 saved per year

(Current market available state-of-the-art hybrid bus: 30% reduction of CO2 emissions)

High public exposition : 40% of the PT travellers use the bus everyday + residents

A growing market

Why a partnership between SAFRA and Tisséo ?

� An innovative initiative of a local industrial (Midi-Pyrenees)

� A past / present shared vision in the field of bus and rail renovation

� An interest and a support of Tisséo as a demonstration site

Why is Tisséo interested in BUSINOVA ?

Tisséo has been aware of the BUSINOVA project of SAFRA since March 2011 and has shown interest in this innovative project.

� Environmentally friendly:

- Reducing dramatically energy consumption, CO2 and local emissions and noise, (registered as "electric“)

- Offering a range of 200 km thanks to its new hybrid system

� Large capacity, close to a standard bus capacity

� Creation of a bus with a new design:

- Comfortable, new space occupation (surface fully occupied) and electrochrome glass

- Attractive design

- Power plant facilitating maintenance

� Lower operating costs:

- Cheap to run, longer lifecycle, limited maintenance

State of the art with electric/hybrid buses

• ZEV city bus, low

capacity and short

running time

• Hybrid bus (combustion

& electric engine) by

major constructors -

30% fuel economy , 12

metre long vehicles

Energeticpack

� Due to the weight of the power pack,

Safra has used a new patentedstructural design

� The power pack is towed under the

rear of the vehicle, resulting in :

- 20% vehicle weight reduction, 10

tonnes without passengers

- Capacity of 90 passengers for a 10 m

bus

1st innovation : bi-modular chassis

BUSINOVA : a unique breakthrough project on the bus market

Multi-hybridization is our 2nd

patented innovation :

�Hydraulic start

�Electric running on plug-in

batteries

�Combustion engine to

supplement the vehicle

�Hydraulic regenerative braking

system

2nd innovation : tri-hybridization

2. Marketing

3. Financial work on the next R&D stage

4. Building European partnerships

1. Certification

2. Trial test on Toulouse network

3. Industrialization

4. Continuation R&D programme leading to ZEV, longest range

possible or minimal running costs

BUSINOVA : the results expected

� Vacuous weight 20% lower

� Vehicle surface fully occupied

� Range of 200 km

� Consumption of fuel three times lower than a conventional

bus (15L/100 km)

� Mass transfer through the articulation on the drive axle enabling energy recycling when braking

Page 15


Assessment of the experiment and benefits for public transport usersand inhabitants

� Operating BUSINOVA on several regular lines of the Tisséo urban transport network

� Enabling to verify :- the expected energy savings / measurement of polluting emissions- the positive impact on the urban environment through the seasons

� Requiring the measurement and the collection of results, through an objective methodology in relation with the 4 following areas:

Environmental savings :- Measurement of power consumption

- Measurement of fuel consumption

- Operation under different weather conditions

- Measurement of noise emissions

BUSINOVA: foreseen benefits and evaluation

Page 16


User satisfaction:

- Perception of the visual identity of the vehicle

- Measurement of the perception of dynamic comfort

- Measurement of the room comfort: noise, vibration, thermal comfort, lighting comfort

- New services (if possible): on-board information, Wifi

Driver satisfaction:- Measurement of the perception of dynamic comfort

- Measurement of the perception of the ergonomy of the driving position

- Measurement of the room comfort: noise, vibration, thermal comfort, lighting comfort

Operating costs:- Approaching the availability rate and maintenance prescription to achieve the

maximum rates

- Checking the compatibility of the fleet existing maintenance equipment with those needed for interventions on BUSINOVA (drum bridges, scissor lift)

- Refining the optimization rules of hybridization parameters according to lines

typology

- Evaluating ownership costs within the meaning of the EU Directive

BUSINOVA: foreseen benefits and evaluation
