From the fruitful in-real-life electric bus study cooperation managed by Sven Borén with stakeholders from 5 municipalities, regions , bus companies and related organisations in Sweden, this article describes sustainability effects, noise, energy use and costs for electric buses when compared to buses powered by diesel, biogas and HVO.  This article describes how new and developed models where designed and applied on electric buses on route 1 in Karlskrona, as a representative example. It was found that there were significant savings in societal costs and total cost of ownership when compared to diesel and biogas powered buses, mainly due to decreased noise, no emissions in the use phase, and decreased energy use.
