About
This panel aims to discuss the economics of BEBs and how a sustainable business model for BEBs can be achieved. This includes emerging financing models where operators no longer own the entirety of their assets. Also, the panel aims to address and discuss the learnings from the energy crisis and associated electricity price fluctuation.

Ruter, the public transportation agency for Oslo, will share its experience and the perspective of ZEB finances from a transport authority point of view. Discussions will include how important the procurement/contractual stages are, as well as the importance of exploring the whole market, to offer a high quality zero-emission bus service at minimum cost.
Keolis, an international transport operator, will provide the operator experience and perspective from their operations across Europe, the length of time in which they can keep ZEBs in their fleet and how they can ensure they have an attractive zero-emission bus service offering for the authorities especially when it comes to cost.
