Following the introduction, 8 good practices were introduced:

• TÜKE Busz Zrt. Green Strategy,
• Use of test e-buses to identify the appropriate technical specifications for Pécs,
• Training centre, learning needs of the Hungarian project partner,
• Running local e-bus transport with locally produced, stored renewable energy,
• Green Bus Sample Project,
• Smart Grid-Smart City-E-mobility in Paks,
• Securing the resources to install e-buses step by step,
• Changing the model from fossil fuels to e-bus mobility based on renewable energy.

Following the presentation, Zsolt Pálmai asked for the partners’ opinion about the good practices described.

Tamás Tavi, former director of operations and development (Tüke Busz Zrt.) informed the participants that TÜKE Busz Zrt. had already raised the issue of e-buses and this strategy at the conceptual in 2016, and the current procurement of electric buses in Pécs was based on this, so the plan was a precursor of it. He highlighted the preliminary consultation with the management of MVM Next Energiakerskedelem Zrt., MOL Nyrt., Pécs Thermal Power Plant and E-on Zrt. and bus manufacturers, the consequences of which were included in the strategy.

Tamás Tavi and Ákos Horvát (BKV Zrt.) also raised the issue of training and drew attention to one of the main shortcomings, which is the lack of proper regulation for operators and maintenance staff. In addition, more IT specialists, electrical engineers, mechanics and maintenance staff are needed.

Finally, as a general comment, János Szász, an external expert, proposed to collect bad practices to be avoided and outlined alongside good practices.
