Abstract
In 2018, the Act on electromobility and alternative fuels took effect in Poland. The law imposes an obligation on municipalities servicing the public transport to exchange at least 30% of bus fleet for electric buses by 2028. In the chapter, the impact of the fleet replacement on the emission of air pollutants rate in global and local scale has been analyzed. For comparison, the option of exchanging the fleet for buses meeting the Euro VI standard was also assumed. For this purpose, it was necessary to analyze the current structure of the bus fleet of MPK Wroclaw (manufacture year, Euro standards, type of buses, etc.). It was indicated what impact on the air quality will have the fleet electrification on the local scale (in Wroclaw) and on the global scale (emission from the power plant during the production of electricity needed to charge electric buses).
