AB Urban traffic is among the main air pollution sources in our cities. Consequently, one of the mainlines of action in the transition towards the future sustainable smart cities is reducing tailpipeemissions. The electrification of vehicles is a feasible solution that is currently being implemented,and it will allow achieving huge savings in traffic pollutant emissions. However, they have somedrawbacks like, the limited autonomy or the long recharging times. Plug-in Electric Hybrid (PEH)buses emerge as a more flexible solution while still highly reducing pollution levels. They can switchbetween electric motor and diesel engine at any time, allowing an efficient location of zero-emissionzones (ZEZ) that not only provide environmental benefits but also social. The current strategiesfor managing the battery are very conservative and na¨ıve, but more advance strategies can makeuse of their full potential.This extended abstract presents our work [2], recently published in Sustainable Cities andSociety where the Multi-objective Efficient PEH Bus Operation Problem, MEPBO for short, wasproposed. It proposes that a tailored location of the ZEZ, i.e. a tailored battery managementstrategy can enlarge the electric range of the bus while at the same time reduce the pollution. Anovel methodology for accurately estimating the energy consumption of the PEH bus is presentedand two multi-objective optimization algorithms from the state of the art are used to solve thisproblem.
