• Abstract:
  The primary objective of this project was to identify the best practices for procuring and maintaining battery electric buses (BEB) and charging systems to help in U.S. Department of Transportation efforts to support the transition of the nation's transportation systems to electric vehicles and other zero-carbon technologies. The research outcomes include the identification of areas for voluntary standards development, and the development or modification of existing relevant standards including procurement specifications, other procurement documents, and maintenance standards and guidelines for transit buses powered through electric propulsion and associated charging infrastructure.
