Making use of a specifically designed SW tool, the authors here presents the results of an activity for the evaluation of energy consumption of buses for urban applications. Both conventional and innovative transport means are considered to obtain interesting comparative conclusions. The SW tool simulates the dynamical behaviour of the vehicles on really measured paths making it possible to evaluate their energetic performances on a Tank to Wheel (TTW) basis. Those data, on such a wide and comparable range were still unavailable in literature.
