Abstract:

This report summarizes the experience and results from a demonstration of a fleet of battery electric buses (BEB) operated by Long Beach Transit (LBT) in southern California. In 2011, LBT was awarded a $6.7 million grant through FTA’s Transit Investments for Greenhouse Gas and Energy Reduction (TIGGER) program to fund an electric bus pilot project. The agency selected BYD through a competitive bidding process to build ten 40-ft BEBs. FTA collaborated 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 baseline buses in similar service. The focus of the analysis is on one year of service from January through December 2018.
