Electric buses that use vehicle-to-grid (V2G) power systems can eliminate up to 1400 metric tons of CO2-equivalent GHG emissions and up to $18,300 in air pollution externalities over the lifetime of the system.

Detailed data were collected on diesel and BE fuel options for both transit and school buses. A Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology that utilized a wheel-to-wheel (WTW) approach was used to…
