Knowing the level of energy efficiency is
essential for substantiating investment decisions,
operation and maintenance of energy consuming
equipment and machines. Urban public transport is
an important consumer of energy and, at the same
time, an important source of pollution of the urban
environment with greenhouse gases and micro
particles. The present paper is aimed to identify the
level of the energy performance of a public transport
car fleet, having buses equipped with Diesel engines.
The analysis methodology and the mathematical
model used are applicable to other similar structures.
The obtained results are valid for the analyzed car
fleet, highlighting the values of the energy
performance indicators, on the whole, by bus
categories and for each bus from the park component.
Based on the results obtained within the energy audit,
comparisons are made for the level of energy
performance with similar consumers, and feasible
measures to improve energy efficiency are identified.
