Desafios e impactos dos ônibus elétricos para o alcance da mobilidade sustentável: uma revisão sistemática da literatura

Abstract

This article presents the results of a systematic review of the literature on the use of electric buses, mainly in public transport, as one of the ways to contribute to the achievement of sustainable urban mobility. From electronic research on the Web of Science, Scopus and SciELO databases, the open access results were summarized and supported by the PRISMA methodology (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyzes), following guidelines from the Cochrane Collaboration scientific community. After conducting searches in the different databases, the selected material underwent an individual and comparative analysis, adopting exclusion and inclusion criteria. It was possible to verify that the use of electric buses has grown worldwide, as it presents itself as a more sustainable way to guarantee urban mobility, with the use of motorized transport. Despite its potential to contribute to sustainable urban mobility, as it is relatively new to the market, it still needs some improvements that allow an adequate operation and that meets the transport needs and energy use of cities.
