Transformation of an existing urban bus line: Milan Full Electric project

The main goal of this work is to perform a preliminary analysis about the feasibility and implications of the ongoing Full Electric project implemented by ATM, the public company that manages the collective transport in Milan (Italy). The project aims to upgrade the bus system by creating a fleet composed by 1150 full electric buses by 2030 (Scenario 1). In addition to that, a second goal is to analyze the convenience of anticipating the full electrification of the fleet in 2026 (Scenario 2), when the Winter Olympic Games will take place in Italy in Milan and Cortina. In order to perform this analysis satisfactorily cost analysis of the project is described. In particular, all the expenses with respect to both scenarios are calculated and compared to the hypothetical situation in which no project (Scenario 0) is carried out. In this way, it is possible to estimate the incremental expenses that these projects would imply during the years. Within this paper, these aspects are presented: investment and sensitivity analysis.
