This report provides results form the evaluation and testing program for the Advanced Technology Transit Bus (ATTB) program. The Advanced Technology Transit Bus development program with LACMTA was initiated in 1992 with the objective of developing a lightweight, low floor, low emissions, user-friendly transit bus, using advanced technologies. Under the program, six lightweight, low fllor, low emissions prototype vehicles were developed, produced and tested. This report presents results of tests conducted on the six ATTB prototypes in the following areas: functional, performance, braking, vehicle handling, enviornmental, structural and durability, operational and road, reliability, and maintainability. The test report also includes a discussion of the demonstrations, and tests and evaluations conducted on the prototypes at various transit agencies, and at the Pennsylvania Transit Institute bus testing facility in Altoona, Pennsylvania.
