It is globally agreed that electrification of the transportation fleet will be a significant step in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This study assesses the impact of replacing internal combustion engine bus with electric bus fleets in African countries. The assessment includes the impact of solar charging of an electric bus fleet. Emission factors based on the energy mix in the various African countries were used to determine greenhouse gas emissions from electricity generation. Data from a standard public bus fleet was used as a comparison for the internal combustion engine (ICE) fleet. Lifetime costs favor operating an electric bus by 62% and hybrid-electric bus by 50% when charging is done from the national grid. Solar charging has the potential to further reduce lifetime costs by at least 19% and at most 47%. ICE bus emits 3.46 times the emissions of an electric bus. If charging is done by solar, then ICE bus emits 329 times more. Since there is a significant tariff reduction for fuel compared to electricity in African countries, a recommendation is made to reverse this to promote the use of electric vehicles. It is recommended that government fleet transition to electric vehicles.

全球一致认为，运输车队的电气化将是减少温室气体排放的重要一步。这项研究评估了非洲国家用电动公交车队替换内燃机公交车的影响。该评估包括对电动公交车队进行太阳能充电的影响。基于非洲各个国家能源结构的排放因子用于确定发电产生的温室气体排放。来自标准公共巴士车队的数据被用作内燃机（ICE）车队的比较。在国家电网中进行充电时，终生成本有利于电动公交车运行62％，混合动力公交车运行50％。太阳能充电有可能进一步降低使用寿命成本至少19％至最多47％。ICE总线发出3。排放量是电动公交车的46倍。如果充电是通过太阳能完成的，则ICE总线的发射量要多329倍。与非洲国家相比，由于与电力相比，燃料的关税大幅降低，因此建议将其降低以促进电动汽车的使用。建议政府车队过渡到电动汽车。
