The report presents a comprehensive assessment of the performance of electric battery buses operating in passenger-carrying services in the United States, Europe, Japan, and Australia. The survey assessed 16 different systems from 15 suppliers, operating under 18 public transit authorities. These operations varied from single demonstration vehicles to a fleet of 20 buses which provide all the transit service on three routes. The scope of this report includes description of buses and propulsion systems, operational profiles, operating exprience, analysis of data and conclusions about the problems and constraints in the procurement and operation of electric buses. The study also addresses hybrid propulsion systems such as trolley-battery and diesel-battery hybrids. Hybrid bus systems assessed include the Dornier Duo-Bus, the Mercedes-Benz OE305, and the Tokyo Transportation Bureau models built by Kawasaki.
