Introduction
• Buses are responsible for less than 5% of pollution downtown cities,
but…
• Public Transportation authorities have to be more and more
involved in clean transportation programs to show the way to a
better world to others

Challenges to meet for the future :

• Local requirements regarding Noise and Pollution
• Emission of greenhouse-effect gases : In France for example,
transportation is responsible for 26% of CO2 emissions
• Energy resources : the consumption of oil is growing-up dramatically and
resources are limited
