Highlights: [•] Fuel economy of diesel buses is not significantly improved over the decade in China. [•] We improve speed corrections by integrating mode binning and micro-trip methods. [•] Speed is the leading indicator of traffic conditions affecting on-road fuel use. [•] NG buses have higher fuel consumption to diesel buses but comparable CO2 emissions. [•] Fuel saving potential of hybrid buses is largely offset by air conditioning usage. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
