AB - Research in this paper comprised experimental determination of energy  efficiency of different bus subsystems (diesel bus, trolleybus and fully  electric bus) on chosen public transport route in Belgrade. Experimental  measuring of energy efficiency of each bus type has been done based on the  analysis of parameters of vehicle driving cycles between stops. Results of  this analysis were basis for development of theoretical simulation model of  energy efficiency. The model was latter compared with the results of  simulation done by "Solaris bus & Coach" company for the chosen electric bus  route. Based on demonstrated simulation, characteristics of electric bus  batteries were defined, the method and dynamic of their recharge was  suggested, as well as choice for other aggregates for drive system and  technical characteristics for the electric buses were suggested.
