\nPresentation theme:\u00a0What passenger \u00a0REALLY wants? Results of long distance bus transport\u2019s survey
\nAbstract:
\nIn December 2017 T grupp AS with its partner TNS Emor conducted a nationwide survey which object to understand which characteristics and add-on services define the quality of long distance coach services in the view of passenger. The survey also identified that the overall popularity of long distance coach services which is operated on commercial basis is higher and associated with better imago than public transport services which are operated under public service contracts. \u00a0The cause of such tendency is likely to be due to fact that bus companies operating on commercial basis are motivated to continuously develop their services in order to meet and exceed the expectations of their passengers.

Presentation theme:\u00a0Bus technologies for Emission Reduction
\nAbstract:
\nAll large cities are challenged with vehicular emissions. The reduction of emissions is a main objective in the field of environmental protection. From an economic point of view different modern technologies are available to\u00a0 reach this goal. As a first step an efficiency enhancement program for the older buses could be started. The SCRT-system will attain the required exhaust-gas temperature to meet\u00a0 the EURO VI emissions standards under the conditions of rather slow moving traffic. Further concepts based on ICE are Plug-In-Hybrid, CNG or Hydrogen. For a zero-emission public transport the use of electrical mobility is necessary. Available technologies like Hybrid\/Fuel Cell, E-Bus with -overnight , -opportunity\u00a0 charging or battery swapping are integrated into the workshop operations.\n<\/p>\n
\nCurrent work and experience: Mootor Grupp, Lux Express Grupp, Chairman of the Board.

\nPresentation theme:\u00a0From conventional bus operator to Lux Express
\nAbstract:
\n2001 intercity bus traffic was deregulated. For bus companies essential question was how to transform the existing \u201csocial service\u201d to demand driven mobility. The main issue was poor and bland image of the bus service, which was constantly suffering from decreasing amount of passengers. In this presentation I explain the steps and approach of how Mootor Group in facing those challenges and ending up with Lux Express.\n<\/p>\n

\nPresentation theme:\u00a0Economic Viability of Converted Diesel City Bus Into Electric Bus
\nAbstract:
\nCities are crucial for the delivery of low emission mobility, and electrification of buses is a step towards reducing the fossil fuel dependency of the transportation sector as well as creation of a healthier urban environment. At the same time electric buses are still a challenge for public transport operators due to high acquisition costs of a new vehicle and lack of charging infrastructure. Therefore conversion of diesel city bus into electric bus is one of the alternatives considered. Economic viability of converted diesel bus into electric bus can be assessed using an economic model that allows to compare the total cost of ownership of such bus with a diesel bus. A specific case of operating converted diesel bus into electric bus in a city of Latvia is analyzed.\n<\/p>\n
