  text: "This paper presents a holistic framework for the transition from diesel to
    electric bus networks,\r\ncrucial for meeting EU regulations targeting 100% zero-emission
    urban buses by\r\n2035. We employ a two-phase solution framework: in phase 1,
    we solve the Charging Location\r\nand Electric Vehicle Scheduling Problem to generate
    vehicle schedules that are feasible\r\nfor electric operation; in phase 2, these
    schedules serve as input to a multi-period transition\r\nplanning model that minimizes
    the total cost of ownership while determining fleet\r\nreplacement and charging
    infrastructure deployment. Our experiments show that schedules\r\nobtained from
    solving the integrated charging location and vehicle scheduling problem\r\nsignificantly
    outperform traditional methods, resulting in lower total cost of ownership. Additionally,\r\ntransition
    plans reduce local emissions by up to 85% compared to a diesel-only\r\nscenario.
    We find that vehicle rotations with long distances and sufficient idle time are\r\nprioritized
    for electrification, enabling earlier emission reductions and cost savings. This\r\nhighlights
    the importance of adopting vehicle scheduling tailored for electric buses, rather\r\nthan
    relying on legacy diesel schedules."
