  text: 'This paper presents a holistic framework for the transition from diesel to
    electric bus networks, crucial for meeting EU regulations targeting 100% zero-emission
    urban buses by 2035. We employ a two-phase solution framework: in phase 1, we
    solve the Charging Location and Electric Vehicle Scheduling Problem to generate
    vehicle schedules that are feasible for electric operation; in phase 2, these
    schedules serve as input to a multi-period transition planning model that minimizes
    the total cost of ownership while determining fleet replacement and charging infrastructure
    deployment. Our experiments show that schedules obtained from solving the integrated
    charging location and vehicle scheduling problem significantly outperform traditional
    methods, resulting in lower total cost of ownership. Additionally, transition
    plans reduce local emissions by up to 85% compared to a diesel-only scenario.
    We find that vehicle rotations with long distances and sufficient idle time are
    prioritized for electrification, enabling earlier emission reductions and cost
    savings. This highlights the importance of adopting vehicle scheduling tailored
    for electric buses, rather than relying on legacy diesel schedules.'
