Energy Efficiency in City Buses June 01, 2010 Siemens Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş
Definition of City Bus Start and stop frequently Run at low average speeds Operate for long hours; from early morning until late at night Lifetime of 15 years or up to 60,000 operating hours If the energy lost during braking could be saved and used for the next start, the overall fuel consumption would go down: Hybrid Drive with electrical storage is the solution! Page 2
Where do the Savings come from? Mainly from recuperation of braking energy Further reasons for savings: Start-stop function for combustion engine Optimized auxiliary concept based on electric motors Operate combustion engine in optimum point, reduce transients Page 3
Reason for Hybrid Traction in City Buses Based on the driving cycle, the energy storage technology, the electric components and an advanced energy management, a reduction of up to 40% in fuel and CO 2 emissions is possible. Increased global and local pressure on emissions reduction including CO2 Increased requirements for noise reduction Increase in attractiveness and comfort Achieve significant fuel savings to reduce operating costs Page 4
Future Development of City Buses City bus of the future has an electric drive - best case as Zero Emission Vehicle Evolution Conventional city bus with combustion engine Optimizations in engine and gearbox City bus with parallel hybrid Dead end Very little further emission reduction possible Zero emission vehicles Variants according to available type of energy Reduced emission and fuel consumption City bus with electric charging Revolution (System Change) City bus with battery + fuel cell City bus with series hybrid (transient solution) City bus with battery ( & range extender) Time line today 2015? Development roadmap depends on innovation in energy storage devices and fuel cells taking into account the infrastructure. Page 5
Flexibility 3 with Siemens ELFA Flexibility in bus size The Siemens ELFA System is modular and can be adapted to the performance requirements of the bus, i.e length, weight, climbing ability etc. Flexibility in energy mix Following the technical progress, Siemens ELFA System can be efficiently adapted to new energy sources, e.g. from diesel to pure battery or fuel cell. This can be done at minimum effort for installation and additional costs. Flexibility in mechanical integration The ELFA serial hybrid allows most freedom in arrangement of the components since traction and power module are connected by electrical wires Page 6

Why Siemens? Siemens ELFA puts the focus on serial hybrid drives This type of hybrid drive allows maximum recuperation of braking energy and gives maximum flexibility in control of the combustion engine (engine stop function). This results in a reduction of fuel consumption up to 40% and the corresponding emission reduction. Further, the serial hybrid drive is the platform for the revolution to a zero emission vehicle, e.g. fuel cell, pure battery bus or electric charging bus. The key components are made by Siemens This ensures the highest manufacturing and quality standards together with optimized cost structure. Maximum flexibility with the Siemens ELFA system With the use of few standardized components the modular structure of the system allows fulfilment of the OEM's individual performance requirements for various types and sizes of buses. In this way, high production volume is achieveable, which save costs and increase quality. Page 12
