Abstract:

This report summarizes the experience and results from a demonstration of a fleet of five fuel cell electric buses (FCEBs) operated by Stark Area Regional Transit Authority (SARTA). SARTA, based in Canton, Ohio, has been operating the FCEBs funded through the Federal Transit Administration’s (FTA) Low or No Emission Deployment program. The FCEBs were built by ElDorado National-California with a BAE Systems electric propulsion system and a Ballard fuel cell. FTA is collaborating with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and DOE’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory to conduct in-service evaluations of advanced technology buses developed under its programs. This report presents evaluation results for the FCEBs in comparison to baseline buses in similar service. The focus of the analysis is on the most recent year of service, from February 2018 through January 2019. SARTA is collaborating with CALSTART to analyze the acceptance of the technology within the agency. CALSTART conducted surveys of operators and maintenance technicians at SARTA; survey analysis results are presented in the report.
