Abstract:This report summarizes the experience and results from a battery electric bus (BEB) demonstration funded by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) under the Transit Investments for Greenhouse Gas and Energy Reduction (TIGGER) program. In 2010, King County Metro transit agency in Seattle, Washington, received funding from a TIGGER award to add three zero-emission BEBs to its fleet. The BEBs in service at King County Metro are 40-foot fast-charge electric transit buses built by Proterra. FTA is collaborating with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and DOE’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) to conduct in-service evaluations of advanced technology buses developed under its programs. This report presents evaluation results for the BEBs in comparison to a selection of baseline buses. The focus of the analysis is on one year of data from April 2016 through March 2017.
