Foreword
Nowadays, the urban transport is one of the most challenging areas of research in terms of timing, efficiency, transport capacity, and nevertheless pollution reduction. Electrification of the urban transport is not a new approach, but the technologies used these days are. Electric urban transport without the limitation of the tram tracks and the electric lines of the trolleybus becomes one of the most attractive present solution in terms of efficiency, coverage, and versatility taking into account the fixed specific tracks of the urban transport. The solutions presented in this book in terms of strategies for usage of the electric and hybrid urban buses for designated urban arrears, it is based on a complete approach that there is on the scientific agenda nowadays. I dare to say that
