摘要
Trolleybuses may be an eco-efficient solution for public urban transport. The present paper describes the effects resulting from the modernization of an existing trolleybus transport system in Tychy, Poland. The novel solutions concerning traction design and the use of modern vehicles equipped with traction batteries and generation systems made it possible to achieve the expected positive effects related to environment protection - energy savings and limitation of emission of greenhouse gases - in particular carbon dioxide. Positive experiences have resulted in green light for successive investments - development of a new line almost 5 km long and purchase of new vehicles equipped with traction batteries which make them capable of running the distance of 20 km without traction. The paper provides insights for municipality policy makers responsible for urban transport. It stresses the fact that public transport based on trolleybus networks provides new opportunities for sustainable development of cities.
