The necessity and opportunity of the investment for which the application is made
The mobility of the population in a city is very important, vital. Movements for shopping, training (schools) jobs, etc. The Local Authorities have the obligation to solve the mobility issue. There are many modes of transport, but public transport must be the backbone of mobility, for the following advantages:
• Public transport is an important social service for all citizens.
• It alleviates general traffic congestion in the city. One public transport vehicle can replace about 20 - 60 cars.
• It reduces environmental pollution. A traveler using public transport reduces pollution by 5 times compared to traveling by car. (the situation is much better if the buses are electric)
• It reduces energy consumption (in general, but much more if the buses are electric). An electric bus has a consumption of 1/3 of that of a similar diesel bus.
• It benefits low-income individuals. It is not exclusive.
• It is safer for travelers (in traffic) than a car.
The improvement of these problems can be achieved by purchasing modern, more spacious, more comfortable, energy-efficient, and non-polluting means of transport. Electric buses meet these conditions. The quality of public transport is an important indicator of the level of culture and development of a city. Quality public transport is characterized by:
• energy efficiency, reducing energy consumption in transport (it is possible to reduce it to 1/3 of current consumption).
• eliminating exhaust gases from the atmosphere
• meeting the transport needs of the population under good conditions
• phasing out fossil fuels (diesel, gasoline) which are major pollutants and dependent on geopolitical conditions
• using electric energy from renewable sources
• meeting norms, laws, European, and Romanian directives in the field
• using ITS systems (Intelligent Transport Systems), etc.
These are part of the reasons for which it is necessary to acquire high-performance electric buses in Campulung, equipped with technical facilities at the current global level.
According to the identified needs, at the level of Campulung Municipality, the investment opportunity for which the acquisition of electric vehicles is made is the best fit for the profiles of the served routes - to optimally respond to demand both during peak hours and in periods of lower load to replace the entire public transport fleet, the acquisition of 4 electric buses and 8 electric minibuses would lead to achieving green transport.
Public transport needs improvements regarding the roadway, implementation of transport vehicle localization systems, video monitoring CCTV, and real-time information.
Electric buses are (still) expensive. Even if it is anticipated that a significant part of the investment will be recovered in a few years of use through energy savings, the funds needed for acquisition are an issue. The budget of Local Authorities cannot bear this investment. The Municipality of Campulung is in this situation. Therefore, accessing non-repayable funds is the appropriate solution.
Accessing non-repayable funds provided by PNRR for this purpose is an extraordinary opportunity. The Municipality of Câmpulung is making efforts to secure the necessary funds and implement the project to partially replace (depending on available funds) diesel buses in public transport with electric buses.
Anticipated benefits by the contracting authority
After the project implementation, GHG emissions will decrease, due to the shift in propulsion from diesel to electric by replacing old polluting diesel buses with 100% electric buses with zero emissions, thus practically eliminating GHG emissions on the respective routes.
Positive effects:
• reduction of energy consumption by up to 1/3 of the consumption of similar diesel motor buses (calculated in the same conventional energy units),
• 100% elimination of pollutants produced during operation at the place of use,
• reduction of noise levels produced by public transport,
• possibility of recovering braking energy (approx. 30% of the energy absorbed from the source),
• possibility of supplying electric energy from local renewable, non-polluting sources,
• achieving modern, efficient, and comfortable public transport that will attract more passengers to this mode of transportation,
• meeting the public transport users' requirements in the Municipality of Câmpulung, as revealed by a survey conducted in April 2022 (results specified in point 1 of this note),
• a good and useful experience for the Municipality of Câmpulung in the procurement and operation of vehicles with emissions (pollutants) 0, for the implementation of such projects until the complete replacement of the entire fleet of diesel buses,
• implementation of rules, directives, European and national programs in the field of energy and transport, which foresee: ✓ energy transition to renewable, non-polluting sources ✓ gradual phasing out of fossil fuels (derived from oil, natural gas) ✓ transition to electrification of transport with many advantages that electric vehicles have.
• it is a sustainable development measure, valid in the foreseeable future (horizon 2050),
• the project will help the Municipality of Campulung in the trend to become a smart city.
