Summary/Abstract: With increasing demands for more efficient use of energy resources in the transport sector there is a need to apply the principles of sustainable development, which will be a competitive advantage in the market. This especially applies to the road transport sector. This paper discussed the scenarios renewing the vehicle fleet of city buses in the Republic of Serbia. Each scenario was analyzed according to the methodology for calculating the costs of operating the city buses used in sustainable public procurement procedures in renewing vehicle fleets. Calculation includes the cost of owning the vehicles, energy, CO2 emissions and pollutant emissions. Application of this methodology allows the selection of energy-efficient vehicles and vehicles with significantly less negative impact on the environment. The aim of this paper is to mark the election of certain cost parameters lifecycle of vehicles, particularly energy costs, as well as evaluation of the impact of energy consumption on a range of vehicles in the procurement cycle. The calculated cost of the lifetime of the vehicle and the comparison of different vehicle technologies and using different types of fuels were performed. Inputs of energy consumption were defined. In this paper are defined scenarios of renewing the vehicle fleet, which serves to reduce energy consumption.
