Research summary | This project will use Australian infrastructure software to make it easier for Indonesian transport planners to support the introduction of electric buses. It will create a framework that will allow increasing electrification of buses in a manner that is cost effective and scalable. The decarbonisation of the transport sector will help Indonesia to achieve its climate targets. To support this, the project will draw on international lessons, including from Australia, and from a systematic analysis of energy sources for bus depots. It will analyse the energy efficiency and thermal comfort of a major bus terminal building, and will identify measures to reduce several dangerous pollutants, including particulate matters, carbons and nitrates. Through composition sampling of terminal users (based on Gender Equality, Disability and Social Inclusion, or GESDI, criteria), the study will explore the potential impact of electric buses on society and on sustainable and equitable public transport. |
