Long Beach Transit

All-Electric Bus Recommendation

Board Meeting

February 25, 2013

LBT Project Goals

1. Assess risk for a viable, effective & reliable all-

electric ZEB to address alternative fuel policy

2. Achieve reliable, safe & environmentally sound

service levels that are equal to or greater than the

current fleet

3. Introduce appealing, iconic all-electric buses that

increase ridership, improve the transit experience,

and enhance the image of Long Beach and LBT

4. Deploy all-electric buses that provide a cost-

effective solution for LBT (life-cycle costing)

5. Support FTA’s TIGGER goals by maximizing

reductions in GHG emissions and energy costs

Project Scope

Up to (10) 35’ – 45’ all-electric coaches based

on APTA white book & LBT specialized equip

Must meet LBT’s Passport operating profile

Open to en-route and/or depot charging solutions

– Solution – open architecture, should be able to use across

multiple platforms & manufacturers in future;

– Design and installation oversight of equipment;

– Maintenance support for charging equipment

Provide training, diagnostic equip, Capital &

Maintenance plan including 1 year assessment

LBT looking towards this project to evaluate its long-

term viability

Modeling Tools

Route Modeling – CTE collected route data and developed model to

determine energy requirements

– Factors battery size, motor size, vehicle weight,

speed, distance, grade, time, etc.

Rate Modeling – CTE established an energy cost model

– Based on SCE Rates and amount of charging at

given times of day, week, season, etc.

Established a basis to evaluate energy cost

& performance of proposed solutions

Request for Proposal

RFP Issued Oct. 1 – APTA White Book updated with all-electric

propulsion, charging infrastructure specifications,

and LBT coach requirements
