Detailed Analysis of Regenerative Energy of Electric Bus Running on Expressways

Our research group designed two electric buses, a small-sized bus for driving on ordinary roads, and a medium-sized bus for driving on expressways. Analyzing the data obtained from verification test, we found a characteristic phenomenon related to regenerative energy on the expressway. In this paper, analysis of evaluation related to this phenomenon by simulating three different driving routes with the medium-sized electric bus is summarized.
